Thinking Pink #5: LuRay Pastels, Go-Alongs, and Victoriana

This week I am sharing some of

my pink finds... but this week

 there are a lot of pastels in the mix.

 

As in LuRay Pastels by

Taylor, Smith, and Taylor.

 

This popular dinnerware ran

 from the late 1930's

 to the Early 1950's.
 

 

I have a large set on display

 in my kitchen cabinets and have
 looked and looked for LuRay

 to sell, with minimal success.

 

But last weekend on a very

rare occasion, I found some!

 

The house where we found

 the LuRay was probably built in

the 1930's... and the kitchen

was original!

 

The old sink, the ironing board

 built into a cabinet in the wall.

It was neat. And I imagine this

must have been the woman's 

set of dishes back in the day. 

 

Most of the pieces were chipped

and had to be left behind.

As a collector it is

heartbreaking!

 

 

But fifteen minutes later

at another sale, I found

this set of 4 wine

goblets in pastels!
Perfect as "go alongs"
as we collectors like to say.

 

 

I also found vintage party supplies.

Also in pastels. What fun!

 

This hat looks an awful lot

like a cake, doesn't it???

 Then at another sale I found these Victorian calling cards.

I am always fascinated by them. Not much different than

today's business cards, but yet very different at the same time. These were social. I guess they were

pre-Facebook days!

 

 

A reminder of a great afternoon

chatting and having tea.

This pretty footed, rose 

decorated teacup was

found just this morning!

 

 

So was this pretty

Victorian berry set.

I have two of the large

bowls and 12 of the

smaller berry bowls.

 

Hope you enjoyed my pink

and pastel finds...I'll be

listing everything for

sale except possibly the

wine goblets!

Enjoy the day!
