Just thought I'd show you mama's dishes that were stolen. They're Currier & Ives, each piece is named something different. I think the dinner plate is "The Old Grist Mill". The different sizes of dishes all have a different title and picture. They were not expensive, but I loved them. I love blue transferware. Well, I went to Robbinsnest and Replacements.com and found them so I can replace most of them. I still have 2 dinnerplates and a couple of cups so they didn't clean me out completely. My grandmother's dishes are by Johnson Brothers and they're called "Tally Ho". Brown transferware with some burgandy and a little green on them and they depict different hunt scenes with horses, dogs, etc. They were beautiful, too. Anyway, just thought I'd show you my pretty plates!

Mama's dishes

Those are like my grandmothers! She had given me a set of Blue Willow dishes several years ago so my sister got those dishes.
Hope you are having a great week!
My grandmother's set is also a Johnson Bros set. They have a certain look, don't they? I know what you're talking about with your grandmother's set...you described them well enough that I remember seeing them. The blue willow is charming and I hope that you can replace them easily and not too expensively.
Hi Vickie,
Checking up to see how your doing. So glad to hear that you are able to replace your dishes. During the Hurricane scare we had here in Texas we packed up and left for San Antonio, the first thing that went into my vehicle were my Johnson Bros. red transferware Christmas dishes.
I am also preparing my garden this weekend.
Your blogging friend from Texas.

Glad you were able to find those. I am truly sorry for your loss. I wish you a great week and I hope they find who did this and your things.....Smiles
Didn't mean to confuse you about the Hurricane. This was during Hurricane Katrina when everyone in the gulf coast got scared and started to leave. It took us 8 hours to get to San Antonio when it usually just takes 3 hrs.
Hi Vickie,
Hope that you and your family had a restful weekend. Hope, too, that you are feeling mucho better.
