Ok, I know I should be commenting about the delicious looking pita pizza, but the Corelle Spring Blossom Green Daisy plate the cheese was on caught my attention.
You see my parents have had a set of those dishes for years. Probably all the way back to my high school days. Last year my Mom was lamenting that they were such great dishes, but over the years a few had broken (nine kids can be tough on dishes) and wished she could find a way to replace them.
So I spent a few weeks searching around for them on eBay and was able to acquire the missing pieces and a few extra. When she opened them on Mother's Day we all had a good laugh. But later she confided that it was a really great present and she was amazed that I could find them.
Funny you should mention the "Spring Blossom" phenomenon. These came from the sister of @anise. She left them at a Condo we had in Florida that we "let her use" when we lived down there.
Apparently she got them when she was married around 1962. I'm not surprised you found replacements on eBay as our neighbors recently had a yard sale and low and behold "Spring Blossom"!
These must have been the most widely distributed dishes in history.....oh, and the most well made as they seem to last forever.
If you ever need new dishes, think "Corelle" first....😀
Corelle definitely makes sturdy dishes. I believe that several of my sisters, having eaten every meal of their lives on these dishes, had a secret campaign to break every dish they could so as to force my Mom to get some new dishes. But after 20 years of subversive effort, they all gave up, got married and moved out. My sisters may have won a few skirmishes, but Corelle won the war. And my parents still use those dishes every day.
It's beginning to sound as though it won't matter who's house we drop by for dinner....we'll feel at home!
