My mother has a very large collection of Blue Ridge.
Oh thats nice you still have your mom too.But my mom is not a collector like me.That is nice that your mom still loves her dishes.My mom does not care about anything its funny how I love all this stuff and my mom and dad dont care about anything.So nice to hear from you babyboomerwil7.My name is john Thanks for chat I always enjoy talking to you.
Well, my mother is 91, and she hasn't collected anything for a while, but she really does enjoy the dishes. She lives near Charlotte, N.C. I have actually been to Irwin, TN. I used to send Blue Ridge that I would find at estate sales all the time, but I don't find it too much anymore. Take Care.
There is still a lot in erwin and here in jonesborough but it is high.They are not giving it away thats for sure.Well if you ever want to take a road trip.I always have an extra room for you.Its better in the summer then they have music on the square here.They close off the street every friday and different bands play in the street until it gets cold.We hear some good music makers here for sure
