Furnishing a new place

Seems similar to a much higher end enamaled cast iron pan I saw recently:

Ok, I don't mind having a few nice pots and pans, but I don't actually own a $200+ pumpkin. Or really any seasonal kitchenware (well a roasting pan, that's not used other than holidays) or dishware for that matter. My dishware is in the theme of white, it all matches.

Yikes! The Pioneer Woman one comes in white, too.

IL, I saw nice dark blue mugs at Target today and thought of you.

I was on the lookout for years for a nice set of blue and white coffee mugs. I finally scored several at Marshall's on clearance a couple of years ago. I think I paid $6.00 each for them. I bought six, but if I only knew what they would go for on the secondary market, I would have combed all the Marshall's and TJ's and bought all their stock:

That’s quite a surprise, the cost of that mug, the asking price anyway. I wonder if they sell many.


Coincidently, I saw two plates from The Pioneer Woman’s collection at the thrift store yesterday. One of them was chipped but if I was collecting that pattern I would’ve grab them anyway. But I’m not collecting it I do like it though.

It was weird that within 24 hours the Salvation Army thrift store had cleaned out all of its plates, I would say they got rid of 75% of what I had seen the day before. They may be doing that periodically, I don’t know. When I went to my favorite Goodwill I saw that they had hardly any plates at all. I know from shopping there often that they do a big clean out at least once a week, so perhaps I got there an hour after the clean out.

I’m going to chill on this for a while until I find some mugs I really like. I almost bought some in a marbled s pattern at Bed Bath and beyond but after going shopping a few places I learned that marble pattern is the latest trend which means it’ll be out in two years.


Maybe I can find some artisan mugs later.

If you like blue and white, you should check out Polish pottery.

I like Ball jars, but that may not be the look you're going for...

umm no, not even for our country cottage.

There’s someone here drinks wine out of them I think I read! To each his own

Yeah, I would check out some well-curated consignment shops and flea markets to avoid falling into the "au Courant" trap.

IL, I do like blue and I have 2 polish pottery mugs that I LOVE! They feel good on my mouth and in my hands.
