After contemplating finding a dinnerware pattern to collect for years, I finally found one that I loved and was somewhat difficult to find, making searching for it all that more rewarding and exciting. This is "Temporama" made by Canonsburg. The pattern features lovely atomic designs in great colors. I started out by finding some dinner plates, some bowls, and the creamer at ARC. I added more pieces through eBay, including the hard-to-find gravy boat with underplate and the deviled egg plate. I have been on the hunt for a butter dish in excellent condition, but that is proving very hard to find. I picture dinner parties and BBQ's using this pattern for my guests...just for the retro "funness" of it all!
Welcome to my blog! I'm a military wife left frequently to my own devices on the homefront. We are currently on deployment No. 3, but who's counting, really?
Anyway, while the hubby is away, the wife gets insanely bored. Despite three children who routinely take up 99% of my time, I find ways to cure the 1% I have left to myself.
My latest obsession is mid-century modern decorating. I'm beginning to fall in the love with the 50's and 60's. What a fun time to be a homemaker! All the funky, colorful, sometimes downright bizarre designs! All the clean, tight lines, interesting patterns, and beautiful real woods.
My favorite past time has always been browsing thrift stores in search of that hidden treasure, but now it's taken on a whole new purpose as I transform my home into a picture from the 60's. Now I carefully go through each aisle, looking for that little piece of the past to bring it all together.
This blog is dedicated to logging each and every little find with pictures and a small story as to how I found it. My hope is to gather histories about the items I've found, either through the internet, the library, or even from comments here.
So please, if you happen upon my Blog and see something you remember or know information about, feel free to leave a comment and tell me all about it! I'd love to hear from you!
