Brian (teenager) and I went to my Grandma's house to help clean inside her kitchen cabinets. It has been awhile since I've helped with that job, but it was a summer tradition when I was growing up. She was in a "cleaning out " mood and gave me several boxes of dishes, AND she still has LOTS in her cabinets! Above are some Fire King saucers.
-glass coasters,
Forest Green glasses and pitcher,
Queen Mary bowls, (Grandma used these for homemade icecream!)
Old Cafe bowl,
Queen Mary divided dish,
Forest Green, but I don't know the pattern...
blue cups and saucers, another pattern I can't identify...
more bowls, this time I think the pattern is Burple,
A bowl marked "Maddux" and 1959...
Opalescent Hobnail dish,
Jelly or jam serving set,
Covered Compote.
I think I inherited my love of dishes from my Grandma Bessie! If I have any patterns incorrectly identified or you know a pattern that I didn't identify, please let me know.
Great stuff!! Hope you never have to move and down-size like I did. But I did try to hang on to most of my "old" inherited stuff. Enjoy. Use them!! Take care and God Bless.
I teach 4 year olds during the school year. In my spare time(haha), I enjoy clogging, gardening, sewing, cake decorating, and old things! I am married to my high school sweetheart. We have two sons, ages 27 and 17!
We have 2 dogs (Honey and Lexi), a rabbit (Chewey),three cat (Samson, Rascal and Bella) and 7 chickens. The hens are Blossom, Buffy, Scarlet, and Matilda. I had on roo, Gottlieb. Then I let Buffy sit on some eggs and I ended up with 2 more roosters. My coop is called Cackleberry Cottage.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy your visit. I enjoy sharing all the wonderful "little things" that make life so special! Say hello and leave a comment!
