My wife and Barney waited for me to come home from work. Barney was certain that there was something wrong with it as he checked it out for a long time.
We knew what it was. A gift or a prize from a giveaway. So far it is just a box of boxes.
Phalzgraff had a give away via Blackberry Lane and her connections with Phalzgraff. This is the new set of 4 place settings of dishes we are opening.
Phalzgraff does have a facebook page but I can't give you a link at this time as I am one a school server and facebook is not available.
Salad plates and very nice bowls came in the set.
The pattern is called Painted Poppies.
These are such a great surprise. I didn't really expect to win them but they are so great. We haven't bought new dishes for a long time except for a set we bought at a garage sale in Minnesota which was also a long time ago. We will clear things away and put them in our cupboard and use them for everyday as well as for fine dining.
This shot of the mug is a lot blurry but they will be a good size for morning coffee. The little label tells us that they were all hand painted so that they will each have flowers with a variance of color and texture on them. Phalsgraff does have a lot of serving pieces that we will be looking at to add to the new set.
It was very cold again today getting into the car and crossing the parking lot to the school this morning. The cold does get to be very old and the body starts to reject it by cause of a lot of aches and pains. We have a date to do our income taxes and go shopping for groceries for our neighbor after school. It isn't going to warm up for that as the high is to be about 6 degrees F.
I hope everyone is staying safe out there. I know that everyone is having colder and more unusual weather out there than what is normal. Thanks for stopping by today.

Glad the dishes arrived safely and that you two will enjoy them. Barney was just sure there was a dog bone in that box!!!
Pfaltzgraff was a great company to work with on this giveaway!
Very pretty dishes...and delivery was fast! Still cold here...and we are sending it south and east..so brace yourself. I think it was -30 here this AM..I was asleep:)
Those look great. So cute that your dog wanted to know what was in the box. Enjoy them and stay warm!
Very cool plates! We had a set with Koi on them for years, but the wife decided we required an update. Your plates remind me of them in the color and style. I miss them.
I had read about the giveaway Mildred posted on her blog, Larry, and nice to read that you were the lucky recipient. We have used Pzaltzgraff dishes for years and our set is no longer available. My only complaint is that they are rather heavy. The poly pattern is lovely and sure will get good use out of the set.
