Well, I'm just north of Fayetteville. (10 minutes north) So if you get that
close, you let me know!!

Congratulations! That's a lovely pattern. I have my mother's Noritake
that she received as a wedding present when she married my father. I
keep an eye on eBay for listings (other than from Replacements, which
are pricy) to fill in any voids -- such as when DH dropped something on
my covered vegetable dish and broke the lid. *sigh* You'll enjoy the
dishes a lot.

My childhood home burned in 1948. After the insurance
settled everything, my folk did some enlarging and
remodeling of the house, and with what was left, my mother
bought service for 12 of Noritake "Brenda".
http://www.replacements.com/webquote/N__BRE.htm
After Mom died, Dad wanted my sister and me to share her
things. I used it a few times for Autumn meals but it wasn't
really my color, so I finally gave it to my brother and his
second wife. They love it. I kept one teacup and saucer for
my collection.
Just incidentally, when I searched for her pattern, I came
up with a different china replacement site:
http://www.pastpresent.net/ I didn't do any price
comparisons, but at least it's an alternative to
Replacements and eBay.

That's a really pretty pattern, Beverly. I could live with that,
easily. My mother's pattern is
http://www.replacements.com/webquote/N__MYS177.htm which is hard to
find, unnamed, though there are several patterns essentially the same
except for the color of the border. Pre-war stuff, the china was
shipped to New York where it was hand decorated and fired again. My
pattern is not painted, it's stenciled. What boring work that must have
been!!! The pattern is more formal, so I like your family pattern better!
