Made in the USA

As I told y'all in an earlier post my friend and me have been on the junkin' road!!  It has been a wonderful adventure into a land of vintage and made in the USA!!

Recently, I'm sure you've realized, there has been a major push by media types to find and buy products made in the United States of America.   

They stated if all Americans buy just 'a few items' then  X  amount of jobs will be created!  

I'm all over that!!  More jobs = better economy = happy life!!

Lucky us... we found dinnerware marked made in the USA at a small consignment store...

(someone out there please correct me if I'm wrong about the name of this pattern)

Currier and Ives China in the blue and white was the most popular pattern by Royal China Company of Sebring, Ohio.  The company produced the dinnerware from 1950-1986.  
(Unfortunately, in the 1970's-1980's many china and glassware companies went out of business. 
 For me it was a great lost of American craftsmanship.)

In the shop the dealer had set a lovely table with the vintage china...



The vintage print brings about a nostalgic feeling...the good old days...evenings spent in rockin' chairs...watchin' the lightin' bugs fly in the night...grandma's cookin'...big family gatherings...

Ahhh, such a lovely feeling...made in the USA...

See y'all down the junkin' road!!
