Out and about...

Hi ho, hi ho,

To Velva, North Dakota we go!!

Want to guess what's in Velva, North Dakota?

This cool bridge going into their park and, as the sign says, 1300 Friendly People!

Okay, back to Minot and guess what we found today? A cup and saucer to go in my Homer Laughlin Eggshell collection, fun, fun, fun. These are really my favorite dishes I have. I love how they shine, the weight of them, the feel of them, and that they are USA made. Mine were all made in the '40s and '50s.

I'll introduce you.

This is the Cashmere design, it is Eggshell Georgian style.

This is my Kingston Wheat, Eggshell Georgian. I have the most of these dishes.

This one I had the name of and then promply lost it, it is Eggshell Georgian. I'll have to figure it out again!

*

These are my Cunningham and Pickett Norway Rose dishes. They are really made by Homer Laughlin and are the Nautilus pattern.

*

This is the newest to the collection. It is Talisman or Pastel Rose and is Eggshell Nautilus.

There are three cups but the other two have pretty bad chips. It also came with quite a few other pieces that are all in good condition. I will try to pick up a few more cups of this style eventually. All of the pieces cost about what you would have expected to pay for just this one cup and saucer and they are just so lovely!

I am getting ready to pack them, I really don't want to box them up yet. Maybe I'll give it just one more day, sip a cup of tea out of the Talisman tomorrow, ya, that will be the plan then!
