Comments (15)Some of you guys had me cracking up... Marlene, your first thought was target practice! LOL. And I thought I knew you well, Girl. Apparently not. ;o) Same with you, Jeanne, for being tempted as well. Caroleena, your Mayor would need sedating? LOL, love it. As for "Wasps, spiders, mosquitoes, snakes and dust"...as pretty as this place is, I have a feeling the owner either doesn't have much problem with them or has a way to take of it. Considering the number of cups, I imagine a lot were 'donated' and rest bought at thrift stores for a quarter each. And over a long period of time. This is some SERIOUS mug collecting. However, if you drink that much coffee, you'd WHIZZ right thru building this. LOL Nona, I bet you could find something neat to do with Bill's mugs! That would be a wonderful project for your garden. hugs, Karen...See MoreGold band mug set , $.70 per mug
Comments (4)LOL, CC, I have some plates that have caused lovely fireworks in the microwave too, with much popping and flashing. and one bowl that says it's microwave safe but gets really, really hot. I don't know what that's all about. Beautiful cups, though. I have that collection of big/small/cute/philosophical coffee mugs too. A couple of years ago I broke down and bought 8 mugs that match. Of course, they match each other, and nothing else. Annie...See MoreMug or cup & saucer?
Comments (17)I'm another coffee drinker, but if I'm ill, I crave tea. That might be because my Mom always gave me tea and toast when I was sick, as a child. I drink both from a mug, but it has to be glass or ceramic, no plastic or....shudder, Styrofoam. when I was a young married wife we had a neighbor who was from England. She would invite me over for tea, and it was so delightful because she always made a production of the preparations, such as, hot the pot, right temperature of the water and measuring out the loose tea. Then of course there was the tea cozy, sort of a quilt for the teapot to keep it hot. She served small sandwiches or tiny sweets, and of course the tea was served in a beautiful cup and saucer. What a sweet memory that is....See MoreCan we talk about Corelle?
Comments (77)Shortly after we moved into our old house 24 years ago I bought a set of Corelle. My sister and MIL had it and raved about how it never breaks. My kids were little, almost two and four years old, so I bought two sets of eight. Very pretty fluted pattern with flowers. I was unloading the dishwater one day with my DD, not quite two, in her high chair in the kitchen. I had the entire stack of 16 plated in both hands but just bumped the frame of the cabinet and I swear those dishes leaped out of my hands onto the vinyl floor and EXPLODED!!! All 16 -- unrecognizable as anything but shards of glass on the floor. All over the kitchen. I was barefoot and my DD started screaming, crying, and trying to get out of her high chair. I couldn't get to her because of the glass. She was scared to death. She is 26 and still remembers that day "mommy boke the dises" I had to climb on the counters to get to the dining room doorway and run get shoes to get her out of the highchair. So I called Corelle. They replaced all of the plates and I packed them up in a box and never used again. I replaced with cheap white fruit embossed stoneware - some from the dollar store and still have that set. I do have and use Corelle soup bowls and berry bowls. Plain white rimmed in black. But one of my weaknesses is dishes, maybe 12 sets.... But I'm saving that Corelle set for my daughter when she gets married....See More- 2 years ago
