Dreaming of an Ironstone Christmas

Dreaming of An Ironstone Christmas

I have been collecting Ironstone for a while, I love the marks on the back, buffalo china and pitchers.  But going through the plates that I set aside for my shop and my house, my daughter and I had a day of playing and sharing memories.

                                               This one I'm keeping, it reminds me of my fiesty dad.  My dad made my brother and my family a set of reindeers for the yard.  He also had a set for my mom and him.  As we were sitting in the family room at their house, I saw someone in the front yard.  It looked like they were taking the reindeers!  I shouted and my dad and I rushed to the front door.  This fralie man pushed me out of the way and headed out, ready for a fight.  Well, it was a joke, his friend was taking the deers to hide them!!  We laughed so hard, I don't know what was funnier him pushing me out of the way or me thinking I could handle whoever was stealing our deer!!

Which is your favorite?  I asked my daughter, "can't I just keep them all!"  Remember "To much of a good thing is a good thing!"     

My mom loved butter pats and I can tell you we bought quite a few, funny thing is they would disapear!  We would come home and honestly they would not be in the package.  I think I gave her one a month...I still do not have one butter pat to this day (even after going through her estate).  Where did they all go...well, they are still on my wish list.  I saw a great collection at frog goes to market.  I am putting this on my Christmas List.

Joy to you all and keep the laughter and memories coming.
