And evening is nigh
I hurry to my Blue Heaven
So started a popular song of my childhood, but that's not the "Blue Heaven" I'm talking about in this post...although I definitely hurried to the phone when I saw on Craigslist that the seller I bought my Harvest Time from was selling her entire collection of mid-century china.
I picked up about thirty pieces of Royal China in the Blue Heaven pattern. The seller generously tossed in a few random pieces of Russel Wright, just for good measure, so I wasn't bothered that the box of dishes, long on saucers and devoid of plates altogether, didn't resemble what anyone would call a "set." I was still happy with my find.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to call it mine for long, as much as I like it. This is destined for our store. ("The Store" plot is really starting to thicken. Stay tuned.)
