I almost forgot….So I am a tad late, Sorry – you gals might kick me out yet !!!!! I was thinking about it all week, thought I was done….ooooops. It was only in my mind, not on the computer yet.
Here is my story:
I was thrifting at a new thrift store….A couple of ladies were looking at the dishes and I had just scored a sugar and creamer for 2 bucks each. I had to see what the ladies were looking at – I spotted this set right at one of the ladies feet – I am not shy, I moved in and keer plunked the set in my cart ! I hadn’t even looked at the pattern – I just saw old, old and old. (the dishes matched the sugar and creamer set I had just found ! – so they were ment for little ol me )Yes, I have no shame. I got the ladies attention they were curious what I got so excited for….Well this lovely set of olden china for $12 bucks, yes folks, $12 buckaroos ! I was happy, still am happy – tell me what you think…….. No cups….but everything else….
Silver heavy tray - a buck
A Jar – three bucks
Lazy susan – a buck – will get a Kammy re-do….
Faux topiary – 3 bucks – it needs a huge facelift…..

You are better than I am, my post is still in my mind.
Precious dishes, love the silver tray, I need a lazy susan like that one and did you know that your topiary is off kilter? LOL!
OMG Kammy,
So funny how you dived in for those dishes! Way to go! Those little old ladies better watch out for you! LOL. The China is gorgeous, I see a table coming soon! Cindy
Wow, you did really good. I love the dishes, the pattern is just wonderful and such a great price. I really like the tray and the jar too. I think I need to find a lazy susan. I can't wait to see what you do with yours. Your found real treasures. Hugs, Marty
I love the dishes - I've had several sets that are similar - just so sweet - and what a deal. I don't care if there are no cups and saucers most of the time - as we don't drink coffee with our meals anyway.
I'm jealous! Great finds! I want them all!
Enjoy!
All the best,
Eileen
Oh my, great price on the china. Very pretty.
Love the large silver platter too.
You did great!
I love dishes, especially when they are a bargain and yours are so pretty!
Laura
OOOOOOH, JEALOUS! I had to write that in all caps (Sorry!). Who are the dishes by? They are gorgeous!!!
Beautiful dishes. I'm surprised you didn't start a brawl! LOL! I'm guessing more black spray paint for the lazy susan. You know we will all fall out of our desk chairs if you were to paint something crazy like red!

Tell you what I think?
I think they are lovely and will look so pretty with...should I say it??

Are they Homer Laughlin? They are so pretty! I'm glad that you scooted the ladies out of the way and grabbed them :)
Howdy!
Yes, I would have bought the tray as well.
Good buy and won't you have fun with that buy.

You got some good finds, that is a beautiful pattern on that china.
I love, love, love the china. I think I might have swooped in for the kill as well. You go girl!!!
Hi Kammy,
Great finds, but I love the tray the best. A gal can never have too many trays! Come on over & sit a spell sometime!
Cindy
LOVE the dishes - they have such a beautiful pattern. Good job on making sure they were yours. :) I bet those women were a bit shocked at first! And then I bet they were more than a tad upset that they had overlooked those gorgeous pieces. :)
What nice items you have there! :o) I love your silver tray! :o) I am looking forward to seeing how you use your new found treasures! :o)
Sincerely ~ Tricia Anne
It looks like you found a lot of cool items!! What a pretty pattern on the dishes.
Great score! The dishes are pretty with their flowers. Will we see a tablescape soon? Sally
Good for you! I cant wait to see what you do with the topiary!
Love the dishes!!!
Ally
I'm not jealous ... I'm not ..
not TOO jealous! Wonderful story about snatching those pretty dishes from under that lady's nose (well ... her feet)!
You're a very savvy thrifter! Great post!
Great dishes for a great price!! I'm partial to the silver tray. I purchased a couple of trays at a garage sale recently and the seller wanted to know if I was going to polish them. Personally I like the tarnished look (anything vintage looking for me) so I told her they were perfect as they were. She thought I was nuts! Oh well, I got them for a great price so I was happy.
I'm looking forward to seeing how you transform the lazy susan.
Jane
I would be doing the happy dance all the way home with that score. I love vintage china, and that was sooooo pretty! I need to be more assertive!
I am soooo jealous!
Ahhhhhhhhhhh beautiful! Excellent find!
Oh yes! You did real good snatching up those oh so pretty dishes! How fun for you at such a great price too. Can't wait to see what you do with the lazy susan AND the topiary! I'll be back! ;)
Donna
Hi Kammy, I assure you we don't eat like that all the time! My mom goes all out for this one party. She likes to make sure everyone is well-fed!
Dawn
Gorgeous find, Kammy my thrifting expert friend!
Brenda
Great find!! I am a sucker for old dishes. I will have to join 'Thrifty Thurdsay'
I can't wait to see the re-dos!
Kammy, I love the dishes....can't wait to see how your table turns out.
I love that silver tray and for a buck... Great job.
OMG! Those dishes are beautiful! Kammy, I REALLY, REALLY want to shop with you. What a deal! I'm looking forward to seeing what you're going to do with that lazy susan. laurie
