One thing I brought back from my last trip to Dad's was the last of the piece of my Mom's favorite dishes which were from the 50's , the Franciscan Atomic Starburst Sputnik dinnerware. It's pretty beat up and I so wish I had one of the coffee mugs as every time I picture my Mom I picture there in the kitchen in the morning, drinking out of that cup  I found a reproduction online and bought it.
