I debated whether or not to post these pieces today, since I actually didn't find them myself. Kate went out early this morning to bring the dog for a vet checkup, and on the way home stopped at a garage sale. When she got back home, she asked me "do you remember those clover dishes?"

It turns out she found this great set of eight pieces for a dollar and a half! I've only ever found a handful of White Clover outside of eBay and Antique Malls, so her find this morning eclipses my findings of this pattern to date. I'm very proud that my wife-to-be (she'll actually be my wife a week from tomorrow) has started coming home bearing great mid-century modern dishes!

Found on July 06, 2007 in Urbana, IL.

Scott said: Sorry, Judy. We're keeping the Clover dishes for the time being. Thanks, though.
