Bird China for Felix
So this is Felix's china. Is it perfect or what? These Homer Laughlin budgies are absolutely adorable.
I love how the blue sings right out of the quiet cream and gold setting.
And here's a teapot with a china bird on the lid: charming.
And there are several pieces, all beautifully shaped, with these wonderfully fat bluebirds on them. Lucky, lucky Felix.

Oh, lucky Felix indeed! And how fitting for Felix! Although I have Homer Laughlin both in the Georgian style and the Eggshell Nautilus (Countess) I have never seen this bluebird pattern. I covet it...
What a nice grandmother to supply such beautiful china to her grandchildren. I thought Clara's Priscilla was pretty, too.Can't wait to see the patterns the other three receive.
Um, I didn't mean to be anonymous. I am Cat...
Oh I LOVE the budgies!!!! So lovely.
These are beautiful! And charming! And the bird...how perfect for Felix!
Gorgeous! Yes, Felix is very lucky:)
Lucky Felix... lucky for Felix's future wife. Beautiful set, I've never seen the like.
It is perfect! Your mother is gooood.
That is beautiful china!
Perfect, for sure! I'm guessing your mother is having a lot of fun with this. :)
Beautiful! I love the birds.

It's fun to see this bird pattern for the first time--I'm a longtime HL fan! My husband's grandmother gave me a few Jaderose dishes 20+ years ago, and the love affair began! (Burgundy, Empire Green, Pink Rose, Windsor Rose...) My daughter is also the proud owner of a HL Cavalier Turquoise Melody set courtesy of her grandma. Here's a link for your readers to enjoy some of these fabulous patterns: http://www.robbinsnest.com/homer-laughlin-china/
The budgies are adorable. I had some real ones just like them when I was a child. Their names were Bluey and Belle.
It's also good that you call them budgies. That's what we Aussies call them, and they are native to our outback. Most Americans seem to call them parakeets.

WOW! Bet he LOVES those! So will his future wife, I bet!
Oh Felix you are one lucky grandson!
Just love the budgies, and what an
appropriate gift for you.

Hi -
Felix has gorgeous china! It's so perfect for him. And he is one very fortunate young man to have such a treasured gift. I love each piece. I've never seen either of these patterns.

How wonderful! How kind and thoughtful of her. When my Grandma passed away I was given her china and even though it is a cheap kind I love using it and thinking of her
What a beautiful pattern - I immediately looked on eBay (!) but couldn't find any. Maybe your mum cleaned them out! :)
I just love the idea of collecting for children's future "grown-up" lives. I've been doing something similar for my daughters, 10 and 5. Every year, I buy them a single gold charm, themed around their main interests of the year (currently, I am searching for a swimmer and a bookworm). When Georgia and May turn 16, they can pick out a gold charm bracelet of their choice, and then I can give them the individual charms I have been (secretly) amassing. I'd love to find something similar to do for my sons - the china idea is a great one - though I'm not sure they'd appreciate it right now!
Love your blog, the way - I always look forward to your posts.

I just love Felix's china. just love it.
What a wonderful job your Mom has done finding the perfect china for the kids. I can't decide which I like best. Those little birds are certainly captivating.
Blessed weekend to all of you!
Oh my goodness-how perfect! How in the world is she finding all these pieces?? What a special treasure for each of them!
You have such a thoughtful mom. they couldn't be more perfect!
Enchanting! I love it.
Ooo! I LOVE that... beautiful. Those fat bluebirds are so cute! And Clara's was beautiful too!

Kate in NY--Before we had girls, we had decided that if we had a boy, each year, whoever won the Superbowl, we would collect a piece of memorabilla(sp) from that team!
Since we had girls, each year we get them a Holiday Barbie.
This is the most beautiful china I have ever seen!
I love that china! Bird themed things are always a good thing.:)
How I would love to find something as darling as that. Thanks for sharing.
First, I love it when I find old Homer Laughlin dishes. Second, I have never seen these, by oh my you are right! Luck, lucky Felix. They are so beautiful. It is a perfect fit, though. :)

SO pretty!!
I found your blog through The True Vine today :)
Can your son recommend a place for me to find out what kind of bird we've sited? A website perhaps? We found a black heron-looking bird in north Florida that swims under water to catch fish. It comes up to flip them in the air and eat them, but it can stay under water for a while. I looked on birds.cornell.edu, but couldn't find the one I'm looking for.
How utterly charming those are!
