Not Much Time for Fun

I really haven't had much time for fun this summer but I couldn't resist running in Goodwill recently. I hate the way they have rearranged the store. All of the dinnerware and glassware used to be in the back of the store in nice, neat stacks on shelves. Now it is scattered all over the store in wire baskets on top of the clothing racks. Unless you are six feet tall, it is really hard to sort through items that are at eye level!

Enough of the complaining! On to my treasure for the day - a Vernon Kilns platter in one of their plaid patterns with not a chip or a scratch! Vernon Kilns has six different plaid patterns so I am going to have to figure out which one it is. At first I thought it was the gingham but the gingham is yellow and green. This one is brown and green. (Note: Turns out it is rust, deep green, and chartreuse. Who knew??) I will have to do a little research.

Vernon Kilns' Tam O' Shanter - Doesn't this just scream 1950s?

A nice find for a quick stop, On the Backroads With Buster....
