Ah, there's the rub. Bummer. Don't know if I could remember not to stick them in the microwave.

So...what happens when you put them in the microwave? Maybe that in-itself is reason for purchase - like Marshmallow Chickies

Peeps aren't as pretty as these plates!

The plates remind me of the olive green fridge in the kitchen growing up. Where's the orange shag carpet to go with it?

I'll leave that and stick with the nice 1940's era vernonware (that is also not dishwasher safe).

But, I do need some new everyday flatware. Must remember to look at Target.

Having been released from work early for Good Friday, wanting to give my new sandals a walking test, and actually being in Orange during hours when things are open, I spent a couple hours wandering antiques malls. I was mostly keeping my eye out for a little garden table (shockingly, among 7 giant consignment malls, I found exactly zero. WTF?).

But I came across the following. Unfortunately, we have absolutely no use for any of it. But it's a gorgeous array of mid century furniture, and the marked prices are surprising:

The display cabinet in back was marked around $300. The lamp/table that's cut off on the right side of the picture was about $120. And the coffee table, the piece I desperately wish I had space for, $140! It's got a drawer underneath, which is marked "Stanley Distinctive Furniture" and it's in wonderful shape (at least the top. I didn't really inspect it to see what kind of shape it's in underneath).

But All of the pieces looked in beautiful condition. Anyone interested, I can direct you to the mall and the right stall.

Here are a few detail shots.

That is a great price for that coffee table, especially considering the wood used in it.

Can I assume that the white rectangular thing in the lower corner is just a price tag?

Either that or a racing stripe.

Yes, just a tag.
