Finally,
after a 'Johnson of Australia' drought that lasted several weeks, along came a downpour of pretty floral cockery...
sugar bowl minus the lid, bringing the collection to four
50c each
Dinner and side plates, in new to me designs, 20c each.
The thrifted finds didn't end there...
Nursing journal, 50c, things sure have changed since this book was published
and tablecloth and tea towels with the apple isle theme happening (50c each).
I've noticed the Johnson drought too. I think people are starting to hold on to it again. The Tasmanian napery of course is special. I do think the last one depicting a thylacine like it is a common mammal....or are they all prehistoric mammals?
ReplyDeleteLove everything Zara. What a find the nursing journal is. And sooo much crockery...new designs to me as well. Have a great Sunday!
ReplyDeleteI'd say that Johnson fruit design is rather rare - its so nice! I have also found a design I've not seen before - its coming to YOUR house in the next month or so. Just so you can reserve space for a few more plates!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have luck finding tea towels - I love your growing collection, and I LOVE that old nursing text book - what a find, and so appropriate!

Hi Zara
ReplyDeleteYou've certainly found another stash of your favourite china. How cool is the Nurses book, very appropriate.
I love the design on your Johnson Bros Zara, I've never seen them before either. I bet you're glad you're not nursing in 1939!
ReplyDeleteNice t.towels too x
We used to have those fruit plates when I was a kid. We didn't use them much or have them for very long (I think they were inherited from someone). Nice finds!
ReplyDeleteI don't think my previous comment went through so here we go again...
ReplyDeleteLOVE all your finds Zara...how special is the nursing manual. Very cool! And so much crockery, new to me designs as well. Have a great Sunday!
