Did you know that Corelle has a new version of it's popular
Winter Holly Pattern? For 2014 they produced a set with a red band and white veins in the holly leaves. The older Winter Holly (1991) has a green band with white veins in the leaves. While the green is a ~tad~ different, these two versions play nicely together and are great for mixing and matching! I've been looking at these dishes for years but never found them at a yard sale or thrift store and didn't want to pay ebay prices...
Target.com has a brand new set of six dinner plates with the red band for $14.99 and free shipping! Add in a few vintage bread/dessert plates and you have some very festive everyday dinnerware:@)
Corelle does have a third pattern Holly Days (1984). The two main differences are, it has black viens in the leaves and the green is a lighter color.
Personally, I'm going to try to only collect the dishes with the white veins so everything feels more like a set.
CorelleCorner.com is a good place to find info on patterns and this pic is courtesy of their site,
and there's a great article on EBAY with more holiday Corelle information HERE.
I'm thrilled to finally have some of these fun seasonal dishes, Merry Christmas: to me-from me!
Have a Happy Holly Day:@)
