Your Blue Willow pieces are very nice and I love how you used the sugar for potpourri. Great use of a piece! <br />I found a BW cup and saucer not long ago in my thrifting and will likely be sharing it in the near future. I too have always been enamoured by that tale which accompanies the pattern. Even if it is just a tale, it lends itself to a romantic notion which has endeared it to so many of us all over the world. Thank you for sharing it with us. Wishing you a delightful day.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SandiSandi@ Rose Chintz Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415214311003251398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2723914708396076169.post-88331581801147762252011-11-15T09:52:53.271-05:002011-11-15T09:52:53.271-05:00Well good for you for not getting upset at your da...Well good for you for not getting upset at your dad for accidentally bumping into the shelf.

I have a number of pieces but none of them are matching sets - I pick them up here or there if they're under $5 - trying to stick to the better names. Also - there's a children's picture book story of the fable - lovely!<br />Joy!<br />KathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2723914708396076169.post-25562140264909746662011-11-14T20:43:07.902-05:002011-11-14T20:43:07.902-05:00When I was about 13 years old, my grandmother boug...When I was about 13 years old, my grandmother bought a set of Blue Willow.
