Mid Century Dinnerware.

I'm on the hunt for a new set of dinnerware.  I still love my Salem North Star set and my retro Mikasa Duplex Dahlia by Ben Seibel...but I like to switch things up and I need a larger set for entertaining.

I'm leaning toward Temporama, but I'd love to hear what your favorite patterns are. 


Temporama by Canonsburg

I absolutely love this pattern and its easy to find, so this just might be my pick.


Contempo by Nola Ware

This is a fun design and I love the color combination, but it seems to be hard-to-find.  Pass! 


Pasadena by Mikasa
Great retro modern pattern and again, I love the color combination here but it seems harder to find. Pass! 


Franciscan Starburst

Of course you can't mention mid century dinnerware and not bring up Franciscan's starburst. It's readily available so it's always an option, and I do love a good starburst. Maybe.....

Nordic by Syracuse
Very cute and modern.  A quick search didn't yield a lot of results though.  Maybe.....


Mobile by Knowles
courtesy Ebay
Fun atomic design but hard to find it seems.  Pass!


Del Mar by Franciscan
courtesy Ebay 
Very cute but I need another color mixed in there. Pass!


Carousel by Salem
Cool but not my thing.  Pass!


Blue Heaven by Royal China

I like it but it's too much blue.  Pass!


So I've got Temporama, Starburst or Nordic. I'd like another option, that doesn't look like everything else. Looking forward to your suggestions!

Saturday Pickin'

Saturday was spent up on the Central Coast with my Momma.  After securing the Brasilia dresser set I was able to relax and enjoy, and shop some more!  I left the Brasilia night stands at my Mom's until next weekend - so I could pack my truck with more stuff.  Plus, I couldn't see out my back window!  It was a great weekend of vintage hunting.

One of my favorite thrift stores was packed to the brim Saturday. Check out the sign.  30-50% off got me excited, but wait, it reads "All Used Merchandise".  Huh?


Just how I like it; packed with everything and the kitchen sink, literally. 



Cute mid century cabinet.  It would have been $6 with the sale but it was marked SOLD.  Dang it! 

My cart ...
Scored a couple of cool lamps including a gigantic retro cork lamp. 


Then off to a Goodwill. My Mom bought this mid century hutch for $29.99!

A quick walk through an Antique Mall. Why do I do this to myself?  I can't pay retail!
Ernest John Coffee Pot $125

My dream china set: Franciscan's starburst design

Update on Brasilia set: Dresser and mirror is still in my truck!  We need to organize the garage to make room.  I'll have the night stands next weekend and will post the set together.
