I've been dwelling on blogging for a while, but I'm just now getting brave enough to do it. I'll start looking out for Johnson Brothers and see if they have made my pattern as well. I happened across it, really by accident, but the Canonsburg American Traditional is the main one I collect. It was made in PA and the plant closed in the 70's. They are hard to come by down here, so I've never found any in thrift stores or flea markets, sadly. I'm planning a trip to PA though :) I am a strong believer in using what I have, especially if it's beautiful. Of course some things are really only practical for special occasions. But, yes, we eat off the Canonsburg every day (my cats even eat off them sometimes.) I think they are durable enough for every day and pretty enough for special occasions. Wow, sorry this turned into such a large comment. I'm obviously passionate on the topic of dishes. Perhaps I should take some pictures and write a little post on my collection. I'm enjoying your blog very much-and your light hearted approach to most things decorative...a can of spray paint can fix many things. And it's easy on a budget!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12182385908203037719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6858086016338707817.post-11378284096572314522008-08-21T08:48:00.000-06:002008-08-21T08:48:00.000-06:00What a beautiful room.
