My uncle just got back from Smithers, which is the town in northern British Columbia where he and my father grew up (you can see a photo of the mountains near Smithers here and here). He sent me this picture that he took at the Smithers Musuem of a beautiful china plate that features a picture of Lake Kathlyn with the mountains behind it. Lake Kathlyn is a lake just a few kilometres from Smithers and is where my father used to go swimming when he was a boy.
I would love to get my hands on one of those plates, but I bet they didn't make many of them. Isn't it lovely. Not only does it have the significance of being from my father's hometown, but it is a lovely squared shape and in such a pretty shade of green. You better believe I could find a spot on my walls for this pretty.

Speaking of plates - I recently managed to find one of the same Johnson Brothers plates that I have in my dining room (which you can read about here) to use in a giveaway. If you recall, Johnson Brothers made a set of six plates, each one in a different pastel colour and with different fruit on them and all with sweet rope detailing around the edge. The one I found, for the giveaway, is green with peaches and grapes on it. Seems appropriately summery, don't you think?
