Look what I found today! Beautiful china cups, saucers and dessert plates.
The best thing about these are they were free! Yes you heard me right. Free. How, you ask? Well, I decided to save money and go shopping out in my garage. I have bought so much stuff over the years and never even brought everything inside after I bought it. OK, I know, I'm a shopaholic.
I decided rather then go buy more things I would start going through what I have in my garage that I've forgotten all about. So I will take the boxes out one by one and go through them.
I know it's not really free because at one point I did pay for it. But it sure seems free when stumble across things you didn't even remember you had.I've washed these up and put them in my china hutch so I can remember to use them.
I have 6 dessert plates, four saucers and 5 cups. So I figure it's really a set of 4 with a few extras in case something should break.
I just love them and can't believe I never brought these in before. I can't wait to do more shopping later. I'll be sure to share with you what I find.
Oooooooooooooooooo...so pretty!!! What a "find"!!

Hi Joanne!
ReplyDeleteHow fabulous! I LOVE it when you find something like that! The cups and plates are just gorgeous too. I'll stop at the French Bakery and bring a treat or three, you put the teakettle on for a pot of tea! Some day I'm gonna surprise you and really show up LOL!
Have the happiest of New Years!!
Big hugs, sherry
Joanne,
ReplyDeleteThose dishes are so beautiful! You had a treasure right there in your garage. I gasped when I saw how pretty they are.
Have a wonderful day! (and hugs)

That is a fantastic idea, Joanne! The china is just beautiful and how wonderful to find something you've forgotten about!! I need to go check my boxes to see what treasures may be waiting for me - surely none as beautiful as yours!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!!
I should do the same thing Joanne. I love your plates. Enjoy using them. I can hardly wait to see what other goodies you find.
ReplyDeleteThat's my kind of shopping! All are lovely! How do I copy the diet group button to add to my blog (and make it link to yours?) since I've joined, also do I need to email you any info or anything?
ReplyDeleteYou are not going to believe this, but I did the same thing today. I went through boxes in the outbuildings and each was a wonderful surprise. Some stuff packed away four years. It was great!
ReplyDeleteYour set is lovely.
Cathy
Those are so pretty! Can I go shopping in your garage?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the Better Me exercise and diet group to start.
Have a Happy New Year!
Oh, they are lovely! So pretty and feminine.
ReplyDeleteI do know what you mean about feeling like they're "free". That's exactly how I felt when dh brought down the brand new white tree I'd bought after Christmas last year. I'd forgotten all about it. When he handed it to me, it felt like I was receiving a gift...from myself. LOL
Happy New Year and New Finds!
K-
Now those dishes are beautiful, can't believe you've had them in a box and not displayed. Can't wait to see what else you find.

ReplyDeleteLorrim! Have a Happy 2009!

Those are beautiful! It's kind of like a big birthday party and you get to open lots of presents when you go through your garage, right? Right! LOL! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou sound like me. I get things and forget I have them. Then when I discover them, it's like a present.
ReplyDeleteAnd then I go out and get more and wonder where am I going to put it.

Those are so beautiful! I wish I had a garage to "shop" in!!! It's probably good that I don't or I would buy even more than I already do. Not having enough storage space has made me think twice about buying things!
ReplyDeleteLoves the plates...I have only one...found it at Home Goods months ago...I know what you mean for free.....I wonder what other tresures you will find out there.....
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays,
Mo :-)
