Do you ever start a collection unintentionally? I picked up a couple of pieces of this cheery vintage orange flowered dishware a few years back. And then, as I said in this Flower Power post, my lovely blogging friend Jill sent me a whole bunch more matching pieces. And a collection was born.
So when I saw these matching lidded soup bowls at the thrift store this week, how could I pass them up? We may never use them, but they sure do look pretty with the mugs. These pieces were made in Japan for the now defunct Consumers Distributing stores. I believe they are from the seventies.
Do you have any unintentional collections?

I remember these from the 1970s. Someone I knew had them. Yes, a lot of my collections start from accident! I find something or am given something and a new collection is born.
ReplyDeleteThat's great that you remember them in first use! I love recognizing things like that. So fun. Is there a limit to how many collections we will start? Ha ha. :)
DeleteI really like this kind of spotted dishes! And, of course, I have lots of accidental collections myself :).
ReplyDeleteThank you! And I'm glad I'm in good company. :)
DeleteI haven't been in blogland in weeks, your IG pic brought me over. I've seen so many pieces in this collection, I always think of you! Don't think I ever saw these ones though, they really are so pretty, great for spring!!!
ReplyDeleteI see that you have been "focusing" on your amazing photos Jill! I think that's wonderful! New career maybe? I always think of you when I look at these pieces too. Thanks for inspiring the collection. Jo
DeleteYes, I have many unintentional collections! Some I don't even realize I have--LOL. Thanks so much for hosting, Joann!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Diana. There must be hidden "gems" all over this house. Ha ha.
