Some of you have posted on here how you've 'accidentally' completed a bowl or refrigerator set. I can see that. Maybe you're like me and stash your Pyrex all over the place. Until one day you put two and two together and...voila! A completed set. But have you ever accidentally collected a pattern?
If you asked me, I would tell you that I only collect Friendship, turquoise, and black & white. Really? Then why do I have over 10 Spring Blossom pieces??
I can't seem to pass it up whenever I see it. I have about 10 d-handle mugs, plus all of these:
I just got this oval 043 this weekend...
Here they are together. Plus, I also seem to a have a thing for olive greens...
Time to call a spade a spade. "I am The Vintage and I collect Spring Blossom"... :)
I too have more spring blossom than I'd ever planned. The gravy boat is a fave. Mine are the 'new' spring blossom in that pretty lime green.
ReplyDeleteI started buying Spring Blossom Green as well. My mom had the SBG Corelle dishes and my sister ended up with those (plus some from my MIL) but then I got all the ones my grandma had (my mom and grandma got them at the same time when they first came out). Now I am always on the lookout for matching pieces, but I don't think of myself as a collector because we use all the SBG.
ReplyDelete@Sandra - yeah it creeps up on ya! The new spring blossom is really pretty, and the colours more 'modern' than the olive green of the older one.
ReplyDelete@Sunshine - I also grew up using the corelle spring blossom pieces. Probably why I can't pass them up..fond childhood memories :)
I love the Spring Blossom pieces, and I have quite a few, but I have more Butterfly Gold than anything else! I love it ALL!!
