I dropped a few things off at the Salvation Army today--nothing of note, just a some odds and ends from the stationery drawer. But of course I couldn't resist poking around a bit...
I love this pattern from Franciscan--but I love just about any pattern from Franciscan! Even that bloody Desert Rose. We used to have a tea set in this 'autumn leaf' pattern, but I think we sold it at the garage sale when we left Kansas. I resisted this huge pile, but had there been dinner plates, I'm not sure I could have. It would make a lovely everyday china.
These two coffee cups are from Duralex. I always see the little prep bowls, but never anything like this. I probably should have grabbed them, but I didn't. Maybe if I go back next week they'll still be there? Doubt it.
Alright dear readers, altogether now: "vintage items in their original packaging are the best things ever." Perhaps I should start a spinoff blog? I already have an electric crepe maker and since I can easily find crepes from the store now, who knows if I'll ever use it again?
These, however, I could not resist: lovely juice glasses in a "milk glass" that is thick and having and white. Only five, but a bargain and I had to have them. They aren't marked, but have a Glass-Bake vibe to them. Who knows? Do you?
