GIVE ME A BREAK and the cups did just that. A couple of cups were broken as I unpacked them. I didn't get too upset about it as I have plenty.
I managed to fill the china cabinet full. TOO FULL to get every piece in it. The really old BLUE WILLOW was unboxed and boxed again and will be on a shelf in the cellar.
Having this done helped settle my nerves. A goal was accomplished. Like playing a game
CHILDREN'S MINIATURE BLUE WILLOW CHINA
I have got to find a way to not feel so deeply about all the messes about here. It shouldn't be that BIG of a deal. Getting to where the china is out of the garage has been a long time in coming. It's a VICTORY having them in the china cabinet!!! When it comes to worldly conflicts where nuclear bombs could be used, then the messes I have to deal with about the house aren't very big issues are they?
As I was cleaning up the HOUSE in preparation for company to come, I discovered a cardboard box full of Amber colored Depression plates with the Madrid pattern that I purchased a few months back that had not been unpacked and put away. Making room for these plates to go into the Buffet in the Living room, I had to take out all the glassware and start again.
To my surprise, I didn't know that what I thought was Madrid pattern Depression Glass plates were really a style called PATRICIAN SPOKE. The MADRID PATTERN dishes are more square. SPOKE is rounder. I have 16 PATRICIAN SPOKE DINNER DISHES that I will probably turn loose of.
Now I have 8 amber colored Madrid Pattern Plates that really are Madrid. I am proud to have.
The PATRICIAN SPOKE dishes were produced by FEDERAL GLASS between 1933 TO 1937 in which the market was saturated with it. This is why even in the year 2024 they are in abundance. They'd come in bags of flour. What a treat.
So I am a dish addict. Seems kind of mild when it comes to addictions.
Other addictions: I really like dishes, glassware, dolls, lipstick, nail polish, cars, houses, furniture, long drives in the country, going to antique stores, watching old movies, going to garage sales, touring houses, decorating, researching on the internet...well, I do.
