Such a Friendly Little Village...

<div style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">I am Beyond excited to share my latest and greatest Estate Sale score!  I have been coveting a set of Johnson Brothers Friendly Village dishes for some time now, but (as usual) I am unwilling to pay full price for them.  I missed out on a set about a month ago at a large Antique Estate Sale and recently saw a small set at my local Antique/Junk Mall. </span></i></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"> I am on the mailing list for </span></i></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">EstateSales.Net and watch it religiously.  </span></i></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">I just about died when when I saw a full set of the Friendly Village at a sale that started yesterday.  What was interesting was that this was a house/condo that my Real Estate friend wanted me to stage and had contacted me about  about 4-5 months ago.  It didn't work out (various reasons) but I gave her the name of a few reputable Estate Sale companies who could take on the job of selling the contents after the home sold. This home was packed with beautiful decorative accessories and furniture.  I used to feel very strange about Estate Sales knowing that sometimes the circumstances under which the items were sold were often sad.  But, I think of it now as recycling and instead of buying new items I am reviving someone elses treasures.  </span></i></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">OK, enough of my Moral Compass, on to the <b>DISHES!!!</b></span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJOkAdiWzFLVQcwb7z6lq23fjp6G1Z2sPuAOTkl5u9ghnbUQe54-JiZoNGKRgJ9CSVCr1FcUPYmWSbhkNazs5zdW0upx25abQeXvuObBvwduo3a25VJYPtArGNQT8vQWbPm3YRaH5UI2ob/s1600/IMG_4381.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="430" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJOkAdiWzFLVQcwb7z6lq23fjp6G1Z2sPuAOTkl5u9ghnbUQe54-JiZoNGKRgJ9CSVCr1FcUPYmWSbhkNazs5zdW0upx25abQeXvuObBvwduo3a25VJYPtArGNQT8vQWbPm3YRaH5UI2ob/s640/IMG_4381.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></i></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">This pattern: Johnson Brothers Friendly Village "Made In England" has been in production since 1953-2003 and <b>was</b> made in England.   It is now made in China under the name "Johnson Brothers England 1883".  </span></i></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">This makes my set a lot more valuable.</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd7KcDmfXiuOCfHSejjNmTZVtBdbHu4y27EDJSW7RkZt9jH84pdufEUwpv5KKWSBQFYOvA2hrEzNJSBmgyVkrOyHULTln7z35Q2Zi1jhhHD72E7f9sphH_jfkO_YQ5byPsZfGUfyXv_HN5/s1600/IMG_4383.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd7KcDmfXiuOCfHSejjNmTZVtBdbHu4y27EDJSW7RkZt9jH84pdufEUwpv5KKWSBQFYOvA2hrEzNJSBmgyVkrOyHULTln7z35Q2Zi1jhhHD72E7f9sphH_jfkO_YQ5byPsZfGUfyXv_HN5/s640/IMG_4383.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></i></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">You can see on the backstamp where it says</span></i></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"> "Made in England"</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHkGl-qhHLiAlD1hB2HrB811OLygNMhUqPdXjYl-eF8XCsLcVcnaEQBdReEC0NgaPzjaLCZZTwuz1d_oyGzUULi-sPZC5rhtDfEQgyqYf-DFOqf_HiC8amLQ3kFJFuqTsjvLUFabynjdkE/s1600/IMG_4382.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="522" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHkGl-qhHLiAlD1hB2HrB811OLygNMhUqPdXjYl-eF8XCsLcVcnaEQBdReEC0NgaPzjaLCZZTwuz1d_oyGzUULi-sPZC5rhtDfEQgyqYf-DFOqf_HiC8amLQ3kFJFuqTsjvLUFabynjdkE/s640/IMG_4382.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></i></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">The set came with 17 dinner plates, bread plates, bowls, and cups and saucers and 2 serving bowls.  The plates are the standard 9 7/8" size and not the larger 10 1/2" size but that's OK, I can always add to them.
