It is hard to get others interested at times in our habits, but with children making it a game to start with is the easiest way! As they grow they will appreciate it more and they will have learned more than they would like to admit! When I hear my children name patterns today I'm amazed and know they actually did listen to me! Cherry Blossom is still one of the easier patterns to find, at least in my area. I can not speak for your area however. The great thing about the internet though is the world can be "your area". As with every pattern there are pieces that are nearly impossible to find like the Salt & Pepper. Pink is easier to find than green in Cherry Blossom as green was only made for 5 of the 9 years that Jeannette produced this pattern. Your solution to mixing patterns is always another way to go so that you don't get discouraged in finding pieces and it still looks nice! Check out the Cherry Blossom we have at www.TLCAntiques.net. Let me know you found me through here and I'll be happy to provide a discount on all your purchases! Check out some of my other articles on glassware, you may find them interesting!

I was fascinated by these glasses the same age as you do. However, I just started collecting it this year. How I wish I should have started it earlier. Anyways, I didn't realize that it could become a family activity until I read your message. I always seek the assistance of my friends to look for the Cherry Blossom pattern for me but I think they are not interested in it. However, I was able to get my cousin's help on finding these items in the flea markets here in the Philippines but I seldom see this pattern (pink Cherry Blossom). Luckily, you're in the United States and there are lots them that you could purchase there. At present, I'm adding pink Holiday and Cabbage Rose (Sharon) pattern in my collections. But, I still preferred the Cherry Blossom pattern. Last weekend, I've seen a inch green Cherry Blossom oval platter in a flea market and I'm still contemplating if I'm going to buy it. There are sites which posted that this pattern is very hard to find but I'm not sure if its true. Hope you could help me if it is really a hard to find item or not. Thank you very much for your assistance. It’s really amazing to learn that some people really love collecting these kinds of precious items. I was fascinated by these glasses the same age as you do.
