thanks for this post Joyce. It made me so nostalgic for my grandmothers' dinner tables, where I feel I've seen all of these patterns. A nice treat for a Thanksgiving week! (and I too am a quillter-gardener, a wonderful combination of hobbies!)
Another quilter/gardener here, Joyce. Wonderful article! I love floral china and have always thought Desert Rose was one of the most beautiful. I have a little collection of cups and saucers that my mother got many years ago at the super market, one per week, each with a different floral pattern.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the article! I think I am as nuts for pottery as I am about gardening!
Pam--With the holidays coming it's always a treat deciding which old dinnerware to use. I too love the Desert Rose and I do believe it has been reintroduced so many more people can enjoy this pattern.
grampapa--I would love to see your collection! My next article features give-aways from supermarkets. They are so durable and even now, quite lovely. They just don't make 'em like they used to :-)
