Go to Lemans.com and request a catalog they are in the heart of Amish country and stock things that may cause you to lose your mind. They are located in Kidron Ohio but ship all over the world.

Oh they have everything to live off grid. I bought a grain mill from there once. They have kerosene stoves and friges and everything.

Yes if they don't have it you probably don't need it as far as living off grid goes. Visiting there store in person is a must if you are passing through that part of Ohio.

There's a hardware store in Kerrville called Gibson's. Has almost everything you can think of. And last time I was in, they were selling new red and white graniteware. Of course it's not vintage, but it's dang cute. Yes!! Kathleen I have seen new graniteware at Cabellas and other places. It IS SOOO cute, but I am trying to find the vintage ones. Found one piece so far. Seen lots of green and blue like Mobiltec said. If I'm outta luck I may buy the new ones. The look is the same for sure!

Here is the pattern dishes we found along with a perfect set of highball tumblers and carrier which will now live in Tallulah Belle. Does it look 50's enough?

Of course it's not vintage, but it's dang cute. I think there's a Gibson's in Weatherford too. I'm going to have to check it out the next time I drive through there. It was closed the last time--I remember that store from when I was a kid. Wasn't it a fairly big chain at one point?

Franciscan "Starburst" pattern. Great choice! We were going to acquire a set of those but realized that if something broke it would be cheaper to replace the pattern we ended up with. I have always loved that Starburst pattern!

Txoil and Yas, I love both of those. When I was a kid, we ate of melamine dishes with a very similar pattern. I can see it in mind as clear as day. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I may settle for some Melmac melamine because it's unbreakable, but what I really want is Fiesta ware. My mom only had a couple of pieces and she cherished them. I'm pretty sure that was too expensive for us back then, especially to be broken.
I love Franciscan. Several family members have the desert rose but I have the apples. You people are turning me into a glamper. I bought a small vintage waffle iron a a couple of months ago. It's going in the Shasta.
