About Blue Danube - Created in 1951

- Blue Danube is highly collectible and favored in many homes for its durability.

- 100% dishwasher safe, microwave safe, and the glaze is guaranteed free from lead.

- All color is under glazed, and the porcelain is chip resistant for durability.

- The pattern remains consistent throughout each piece by using the best production techniques. Each piece is fired at temperatures in excess of 2600 degrees.


The original backstamp was used from 1951-1976. This has the words Blue Danube in script on a ribbon banner with the words Reg. US. Pat. Off. underneath. The Rectangular Backstamp dates from 1977-1996. By using different backstamps the company states that it “provides the Blue Danube collectors a dating method adding value to the older pieces.” The current stamp has script words Blue Danube and a swirl decorative line “frame” around them. They also had a commemorative one for their 50th anniversary 1951-2001 pieces.

Random Faith Notes - Responsibilty

During my usual clean up time of our downstairs and kitchen, I often listen to Joyce Meyer on Podcast. I plan to post a little blurb or two from what I've learned each day. Consider them random faith thoughts & notes.

- Responsibility is Responding to the ability that God put in you.

Valentine's Day with the Fam

I know I'm a little late for Valentine's Day..... but mine was so fabulous I couldn't help but to share. My family and I headed out on th 14th for  unplanned Valentine's treasure hunting and dinner to one of our favorite pizza places that offers the best hoagies around. After that, we headed to Schneider's Candy Shop for some home made blue ice cream of course, anything that might stain is first choice and yummy chocolates.

This is a peak at my Valentine's Mantle. Don't you love that picture!? That's one of my favorite finds, she also has a little boy picture to match.

Hubby took me out the 15th and we celebrated with an amazing dinner at an hibachi grill it was so good. It was 6 years ago when he proposed... awww and we'll be celebrating our 5th anniversary in April.

... The Results

Well, I'm back and happy to report the 1st visit to a new church went smooth. Actually, really smooth. I was expecting "suga' lumps" (3) to cling to mine and daddy's leg but he didn't he took off running as if he was in need of a break or something. I guess that's for the better. Deep down you want him to cling a little, not cry,  but maybe a tear. You know what I'm saying. He did great, learned a new song and big boy(6), loved his class. Hubs and I are going to give it a go this Sunday and go to the pizza "meet and great" I'll keep you posted. I'm still new to this visiting thing and I'm not sure if I'm ready to call any place home just yet.

A Leap....

My family and I are taking a leap tomorrow. I won't go into details, but after a disheartening experience from our last church it's taken a lot of nerve to get back out there and search for new church to call home. I'm looking forward to getting the boys involved with a strong children's church at a young age. Keeping my focus in trusting him in everything is what I'm going to do, he knows there is a perfect church for my family.

Blessings,

What's a Vintage Morning Anyway?

Good morning,

Welcome to my first post. After many months of trying to get my personal blog going, I finally had a spare moment to start. What's Vintage Morning you say? Well, a vintage morning is what I call the most perfect morning. It goes something like this... first, a fresh pot of coffee, second a delicious breakfast with my two sweet boys and my sexy husband preferably something healthy, next a packed car with a cooler, the red wagon, the family and off to treasure hunt! Usually that means we've headed out to our local antique show to explore, but sometimes it's hitting all of our favorite thrifting hot spots.

Ever since I was a little girl my family loaded up and headed to our local antique show during the hot summer months, same goes for my husband. So I guess you can say that it's been instilled in us since we were little, so our love for antiques and thrifting made us a match made in heaven. We decided to have some fun with it and we sell some of the finer antiques on eBay and some fabulous vintage finds in our shop The Vintage Kitchen.

I hope you'll stop by Vintage Morning and share my little personal corner of the web with me and when I'm not writing here, I hope you'll visit me at Vintage Indie, my other love.
