This was our every day wedding china.
It is Denmark by Franciscan.

Johnson Brothers makes it now.
In 31 years of marriage we have broken all of the salad plates and all of the cereal bowls.
I broke the last cereal bowl not that long ago.
I pulled it out a few weeks ago when we got the Paong Chair from IKEA and put it in the sunroom.
Since the chair is Swedish I thought this china should be the focal point of the dish dresser. Not the same country but the same region of the world.
The older or antique pieces came from my grandmother.
Similar patterns to this one have been made in Copenhagen, Denmark since the late 1700s.
Europeans were smitten with the blue and white china created in China.
Many of us are still smitten with blue and white.
Are you?
I fall in and out of love with it.
My grandmother had Blue Willow.
My mother had Blue Onion.
The Denmark pattern is my favorite.
I tucked two pieces into my little brass bird cage.
It feels so fresh and pretty.
I have one more change to show you in here.
Enjoy the Super Bowl.
Are you going to watch or will you be reading blogs?
I will probably catch up on my crime shows.
When we had Dallas Cowboy day at school a few weeks ago, I wore blue but didn't have a jersey.
We happen to be reviewing the star shape at the same time. I mentioned that I didn't have a star on my shirt like everyone else.
One of my little darlings said, "Cause your not a football fan."
I said, "You've got that right."
How did he know?
Have fun and don't eat too much.
