The tallest stack of Casual China in our cupboards are the bread & butter plates. The shortest stack is luncheon plates, which makes this find today particularly welcome. Combine that with the fact that our collection of Oyster Grey pieces is insignificant at best, and you can automatically count it a good shopping day!
In fact, this was one of the best shopping days I've had in almost two months! Since we returned home from the Route 127 Sale (a.k.a. the World's Longest Yard Sale) in August, the thrift stores in the area have seemingly run dry. I don't know if I should attribute this phenomenon to college students returning back to campus or that there is a new midcentury modern store open in town, but in either case it has been frustrating for me. Ars Longa is my most significant outlet for discussion about modern design — my most consuming personal interest — and when I don't have new objects to show, the discussion slows along with my rate of finds.
Anyhow, I'm telling myself that today is a new start. I'm seeing the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel in this dry spell, and with that I hope that discussion here will continue to thrive. With that, comment away ... I want to hear your thoughts!
