Illuminate came by for our annual Nightmare Before Christmas party and brought with her 3 bags from the Goodwill. I remember her texting me about some Blue Heaven she had spotted at a thrift a while back but had forgotten all about it. What a strange "set".
Those bags where like a clown car! I just kept reaching in and pulling out more and more coffee
cups. At least they weren't tea cups. I've probably got enough of those in Every pattern I collect.
But coffee cups, everybody still uses coffee cups...right? And small plates? Great for a sandwich or
a your toaster strudel. But where were the dinner plates? My guess is they had already been
snatched up. No problem, I loves me some Blue Heaven no matter what.
I just Know the Girlfriend is gonna want to abscond with the salt and pepper shakers as is her wont.
She's probably already got a set just like these but she'll be wanting them anyway! I don't know which
is harder to find 'round here; the Royal China Blue Heaven pattern or the Salem North Star. In my
book they area pretty much equal in desirability. Neither will supplant my Franciscan Starburst
though! Odd that I've had an easier time building my stellar collection of that than either the North Star
or Blue Heaven.
Nice, Blue Heaven is my current pattern until I can fill out an Iroquois Ben Seidel "Stellar" set. The pieces are common enough that one can use them as every day dishes. Those blue coffee cups are always a problem to locate, as they are unmarked and look similar to two other patterns.
ReplyDeleteHi Mythos.
DeleteOoooh...That Stellar pattern is nice! I've never even seen a piece of that before looking it up just now.
Hey there, Mr. Mod. It's been awhile, hope all is good with you and yours. I have a partial set of Blue Heaven that I need to get rid of, if you are interested. I have the casserole, large tray and plates, not sure of what else until I unpack. I'll make you a heck of a deal. Or a trade perhaps?

Hi There Kim!
DeleteShoot me a call or text Saturday afternoon. I'm on my late schedule at work so I won't be doing anything before noon.
Eeek! Sorry, Mr. Mod, we have been traveling and without internet access and I just saw your message.
DeleteI've got a million things to do tomorrow but will contact you this coming Saturday afternoon. By then, I'll have unpacked the box and have a head count for you.

Dang! We'll be in New Orleans! Some time soon though, we'll catch up. How you feel about Sunday brunches?
DeleteLove brunch! I'll have to catch you next time, we are back in Louisville working on packing up the house.
ReplyDeleteIn the mean time, check out the pics that I sent you.
Safe travels, KimberlyAnn
