I love majolica pottery and have many of the cabbage leaf pieces. I have plates and serving pieces in different shapes and sizes that I use quite often. While surfing ebay one night I came across this set of seven dessert size majolica fruit plates. I knew I had the perfect spot in my kitchen for them.
I hung them over the slider in my breakfast area.
The back of our house is up high, the view is amazing!
Love the way they filled in the empty space above the door.
Spotted a few other pieces that I loved, but I was good and only ordered these for now ;)
Today I spent my morning in the hospital with the hubby. He had surgery on his knee for a torn meniscus. He's home and doing well, he starts PT tomorrow for 6 weeks.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Your visits and sweet comments make my day!
Have a super week!

Hi Martina,
I love your majolica pieces over the doors. Did I tell you that my sister has over 200 pieces of majolica! Yes she does. Some of it used to be mine until she talked me out of it. Anyway, she says she is going to sell it all some day. I doubt it. She has a huge cupboard full.
Love the view from your dining area.
Hope your hubs does well.
hugs

I'm not 'up' on different types of dishes but those are SO pretty -- great idea filling that space above the windows with them!
Martina- That spot looks like it was designed for those plates. What a happy find!
Good luck to you hubby and hoping for a speedy recovery/rehab for him. xo diana
Hi Martina! Yes, those plates look like they were just "made" for that area above your sliding door. And such a lovely view that they frame. My husband had knee replacement surgery 3 months ago so we have been doing the PT trips too. It was a painful surgery/recovery but he is glad now that he did it. Hope your husband's recovery goes well too.
The plates are lovely! I think you found the perfect spot to display them too.
Wishing your hubby a speedy recovery!
What a lovely display of plates Martina! Your tulips are beautiful!! Good luck to your husband on his recovery. Enjoy your day, Gail
Very pretty, Martina, and they fill that spot so nicely!
Oh no Martina, I am so sorry to hear about your hubby. Glad he is doing well. Those plates are FABULOUS! I love the way you proudly displayed them too.
Those are the perfect pieces for that space!
Have fun taking care of hubby.
Hi Martina! Oh, I'm so sorry to hear your hubby had to have surgery. Hope his knee will heal very fast.
Now your plates are just darling and look wonderful on your wall! ;)
Be a sweetie,

Oh they are all gorgeous. What a great find and you are right, they are just perfect above the door. Your view is really stunning, I would probably just look out all day. The tulips in the urn are such a beautiful centerpiece too. Thanks tons for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
What a great pop of color. Looks perfect over the sliding doors like that. I've always loved the artsy-ness of majolica!
Thank you for linking up to the "Cowgirl Up!" link party!

Love those majolica plates and they are perfect above your door..just the right size and the colors are so yummy. Thanks for the inspiration.. I haven't looked on ebay for a while for majolica. I did get a Bordallo radish vase at an antique mall a couple of weeks ago, but haven't decided how to use it in a post yet.

Beautiful pieces! I need ideas to display my pink Majolica cups and saucers.
Your Majolica collection is beautiful and looks wonderful above your glass doors. Will be praying that your husband recovers quickly.
those plates are perfect up there! My Mom collects them as well =)
Hope your husband recovers quickly. That sounds painful! Your new majolica set looks perfect in your kitchen. Looks like they were meant to be there.
Just prayed for your hubby and for you too! I hope he has a very speedy recovery!!!
Your new plates looks so lovely above the door in your breakfast room! I love how colorful they are! What a great place to eat a meal!!!
Lovely plates Martina!
I love the majolica Martina. Have always loved this pottery. Don't have any. Should do something about that.
Your plates are gorgeous!
Love the plates, but they are not nearly as spectacular as your view. I want have a closer peek at your view next time. Beautiful room!!
Martina,
You have a beautiful collection Of majolica.You found the perfect spot for them too.
Hope your husband is healing well.

Oh, I just love those Majolica, beautiful plates and placed in the wall, they're perfect..you can enjoy them at clear sight, every minute of the day and everyday. Great room and view too. Thank you lovely lady for the nice complement on my new den, we are sooo happy with it now. Lots of hugs,
FABBY
So glad hubby is doing well. You have my prayers. Love the plates of course.
My knee is having sympathy pangs for your hubby. It knows all too well about torn meniscus's.
~Bliss~
I love your new plates, Martina ... they're beautiful! And, they look wonderful where you placed them! Well wishes to your hubby, too.
Those plates are beautiful and look great over the slider. I love the pop of color they give to the space. Majolica has always been a favorite of mine. Have a great day.
Angie
Beautiful plates, and you found the perfect place to display them!
Did you see Sherry Hart's post on the Atlanta Show Home? There was the prettiest display of vintage Majolica, and I've been obsessing over it ever since. Your collection is beautiful, and you found the perfect spot for it. Of course, your backyard view alone is stunning.
Hope your hubby is on the mend. I play tennis and sometimes have trouble with my knees. I'm scared I'm going to tear something :( Ouch!
Martina, my hubby had that same surgery a few years ago and got better very quickly. Speedy recovery hopefully for him, too. Sorry I missed this earlier.
Sending well wishes for your husband, Martina.
Your new book looks aMAZing. I would be drooling over those spreads too!
Hope the second day of PT goes well.
