[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 316133, member: 1514"] Thing is we dont have an antique store in our town. Odd I know. Now while we were traipsing back from Ohio, we stopped in this little junk store to ask about a motel in this little tiny town in the middle of nowhere and they had a stack of these dishes...I have remembered the name, Blue Willow....like mine but I dont know how many, in a locked case and the price tag was $400. It wasnt a full set and I dont know how old those were either. I cant be positive it was the exact same pattern that I have either because I think they came in several patterns. Well I know they had to because I have several different patterns...lol. My mom just bought all this stuff because her colors were blue and white and it was all antique stuff. When I was young my thing was old beer cans and old soda cans and bottles but those went in the trash when I moved out...sigh. I know when the furniture was bought. It was when I was 8. That would make it 40 years old now. I even know the store it was bought from...lol. I remember going with my mom to buy it. Pity is my boys ruined two wing chairs. I still have them in the hopes that maybe I can somehow have them repaired someday. They were old and they sat in them and the legs fell off. They also need to be reappolstered. I just for some reason have this attachment to this furniture and "stuff" that was my moms and wont let it go even though I had such a challenging childhood. This stuff is something that I just hang onto almost as a security blanket that I actually had a past. [/QUOTE]
