Item of the Week--Pink

The featured item from Hazel's HodgePodge this week is, of course, something PINK.

Divided Relish  Dish

Small Hostess Dish

We have been looking for Pink items for our ESN scavenger hunt this week.
When I first found one of these Rosella dishes by Mikasa, I was amazed. I thought this was such a pretty and unusual piece.  At the time, I really had no idea what it was called or who made it. I just knew it was pretty. i have since learned that it is Rosella by Mikasa and was made from 1989 to1997.  I have also found several pieces of it as we visited garage sales in the area.
Be sure to shop our store Hazel's HodgePodge for more treasures to brighten your day.  Also visit our friends at ESN.

Do you have any "colors"?

When I was a kid we played a game.  I don't know if it had a name, but it went like this. A number of kids sat on someone's front steps and one kid was the "shop keeper" for lack of a better term. The shop keeper assigned each child on the steps a color.  Another child who was "It" then approached the "shop keeper" and asked "Do you have any colors?" The "shopkeeper replied "yes! What color do you want?" "It" then named a color. If someone had been assigned that color they took off running and "it" chased them until they were caught or returned to the safety of the steps. If there was no one of that color, "It" had to continue asking until he/she found a color that was there. (In my mind the colors were eggs, and just now I thought of the steps or base as being the hen house)
We spent many, many summer evenings playing this and other more conventional games which involved everyone in the neighborhood.  Our house was on the corner with a street light so our yard was often the gathering spot for all the kids.  Mama never had the yard of the month but she always knew where her kids were.
Anyway, this week on ESN we are looking for something PINK in our stores.
I have some Franciscan dishes listed. These are in the Duet pattern. The Duet pattern was made from 1956 to 1961. It is one of the transfer patterns. It has twin roses in shades of pink with gray leaves and stems on a oatmeal background.  The dinner plates are slightly oval.  I also have some crescent shaped salad plates among other pieces.

If you are missing pieces or want to add to your Franciscan Duet China take a look at what I have listed at Hazel's HodgePodge.  Also ask, I may have some other pieces available.


Yes, we have colors!  Yes, we have pink! And yes, we have dishes, collectibles, music boxes, and many other "treasures to brighten your day".  

Pink and Green Jewelry

The ESN scavenger hunt this week has been for pink and green.  Pink and green are both pretty colors and are found together in nature a great deal as in pink flowers of all types and shades with green leaves. I decided to look for jewelry in shades of pink and green. I found jewelry of all sorts: necklaces, bracelets, earrings and so on.  I also found a variety of styles.  As usual, there is something for everyone on the eCrater stores of ESN.
I found some lovely, summery jewelry in both pink and green.
