Holiday

[Sakuya]

Since they still offer flower market in canisters when offered as a set, I would like to see canisters large enough to hold a 5-lb bag of flour and sugar. A two-piece set of same size or a three-piece set of same size.

I hope Monifa studies up on Mackenzie-Childs terminology before the presentation.

I recall Amy Stran calling the Courtly Check pattern checkerboard and thought I could see lovely Roberta cringe.   

Honestly, Shawn does a terrific job with Roberta and is clearly really familiar with their lines.  Alberti does a great job, too. 

Jane T is just Sell Sell Sell as if it were Locknlock and seems to have no connection with Roberta.  Heck, even Rick does a better job with M-C.

@Kitty Galore- It was retired a few years ago except for certain items such as the tea kettle. I hope they bring it back in the regular line.

@Sakuya @I never paid that much attention to it previously, concentrated more on courtly and sterling.  Now I would really love to add black flower market too,   As it complements courtly especially well .   Wouldnt ya know it now it's gone !

i don't see the show listed on the program guide for Tuesday the 5th .   It says gardening g made easy .   My guide on my tv says the same for Q2 .  Must have changed it .

Oh really? Darn.

I see they have a new blue check. I forgot what it is called. Kind of a turquoise blue but brighter.

[SactoSue]

It's called Sky Check. 

I don't really know if I need another M-C line of colors.  I'm still working on Mocha Check

[Sakuya]

I like courtly check. There isn't another color check I am hoping they make; however, the red check I saw last year was very appealing. Christmas, Valentine's, patriotic, summer picnics.

[SactoSue]

I agree.  The Cherry check is very festive around the holidays and I can see it for July 4th, too.

I did buy the Ginger Ceramic Great Check Vase that M-C introduced last fall.

It is gorgeous for summer and fall.   In this photo, it looks as though they are mixing it with Mocha check and maybe tartan mocha.  

There are some other nice pieces in the Ginger Check, but they are ceramic.  I don't like to buy the ceramic check pieces, as I have chipped some of them..  If they did the Ginger Check in enameled metal I would buy more pieces in this color.

I also see a new blue color in the Wild Rose Slate pattern.

It would probably coordinate well with the Sky Blue check.

Very pretty, nostalgic color.  Lots of pieces in the enameled metal - plates, cannisters, kettles,
