Johnson Brothers

I'm joing Susan over at Between Naps on the Porch for her Tablescape Thursday. It's always so much fun to see what everyone has put together. Be sure to drop by for loads of inspiration!

I first saw these dishes a year ago, about the same time I began blogging.

It was the color, shape, pattern around the rim, and the different castles that caught my eye. Plain and simple, I fell in love! Since then, I've been looking for a set but haven't had too much luck except with online stores. Have you ever ordered from this store before?

I have been completely satisified with them and their service. They are well stocked...and the prices are reasonable. This box contained the Johnson Brothers Old Britian Castles ~ Blue {and they do a great job of packing your treasures in loads of bubble wrap!}

Below are the different layers and their cooresponding castles:

Since this set is new, they are dishwasher and microwave safe. Here and there I've seen old pieces and some have a bit of grazing and of course need special care.

I love all the Johnson Brothers' patterns...I could get in a bit of trouble shopping for them alone.

For instance, I really like the "pink" version of Old Britian Castles.

...and then the Old Britian Castles Pink Christmas...
