I'm thrilled that we did because I found some great pieces! I thought I would share them with you. Come take a look.
There were 6 plates, three tea cups but only 2 saucers and the tea pot. The whole set was $16.00 but on sale for 1/2 off which made it only $8.00 for all of them. Pretty good huh?
Wouldn't they be pretty to have tea for two?
I could see a slice of a pretty cake on these.
Then I noticed this set of four dessert plates. I thought they were pretty and they were only $4.00 for all of them. Who could pass these up?
A little further into the store I saw plates and this one was on top. I picked it up quickly and saw it was only 65 cents. It went into my shopping cart right away. I'm going to hang it up in my office.
Then I spotted this pretty little plate that is surrounded with roses. Again 65 cents. Guess where it ended up? Yes, in my cart. Again, another lovely for my office.
Well, since I was on a roll there was no way I could leave this little rose plate behind. Once more 65 cents. Sold!
I almost missed this little hand painted plate. It was sitting off by it's lonesome self. I think someone started to get it then for some reason put it down. Either that, or they were trying to hide so they could come back later and get it. To bad for them. It's now safely in my home all cleaned up and ready to be hung up.
I guess you just never know when you will find some great treasures at the thrift stores. I had been to this one several times and hardly ever found anything. But today I lucked out. Maybe they just got these all in or something. I don't know what the reason was. I was just happy with my finds.
BTW, my brother, Gene, is doing great. Today we all went out to eat at his favorite restaurant. It was the first time he went out to eat since his stroke. It's good to see him starting to get back to his normal life again.
Hugs,
Joanne

Hugs, Sherry
I'm going to get ready for the tea, shall I wear my white gloves and hat? or just my sun hat for the patio in your garden?
I just came across your blog -- love it! I was at a thrift store yesterday and came home with $26 worth of stuff, but nothing as nice as all that china. Am I jealous! I am looking for a few more rose plates to hang on a bedroom wall.
You found some great pieces. I am also a fan of dishes with roses on them , especially the one you found by itself with the painted roses on it . I have a few like that myself & I display them .
Happy treasure hunting ! Sue
I love every single piece but the next to the last one is a pattern my Mother collects and I will someday inherit. It is definitely my favorite. Great shopping!
Wow what a great find! Love the colors of the plates too.
Score on the thrift store finds! So glad your Brother is doing Better! Be well my friend! Diana Lyn
Wow, those are so gorgeous. There's a set of desert plates in your collection that looks a lot like my great-grandma's china, in safekeeping with my mom that I'll one day pass on to one of my daughters.
Pinks like you found, and blue willow are my favorite kinds of china. Really lovely.
Praise the Lord that Gene is doing so well. Oceanside?? I didn't realize Gene was at Oceanside. Hubby and I drove over to O from Temecula with nephew and family back in March. Lovely beach. I did miss the thrift store, though. You got some wonderful buys.
Absolutely gorgeous dishes! The tea set is beautiful. So glad your brother Gene is doing better!
