Hello everyone...Well it's that time once again to play with our dishes...with our hostess Susan at "BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH" I also thought I would join in with thrifty Thursday with Leigh at "TALES FROM Bloggeritaville" for another fun day ha ha!! Hey I'm a thrifty chick so that's counts right!!
These are my newest addition to my family of dishes...I got these at Second Sunday Swap meet...
Now here they are in my sun room just waiting for me to unpack them...
Now here we are waiting in the kitchen for me to wash them all...
Now I looked these up at replacement Ltd. to fine out what I could on these...They were made in ca.1940 and I got a service for eight...with 2 oval serving bowls, 2 platter, and the Creamer and sugar and, fruit bowls, bread plates. luncheon plates, and soup bowls with the saucers...
I also got 6 crystal Fostoria wine glasses...these I paid $10.00 for all
Now here we are all washed sitting on my cutting board...just waiting for a new home...
Now look at these sweet soup bowls with saucers....love the handles on them...
Ok we finally made it into my dining room...See the meat platters there...
Oh I just loved this Cream and gold .....
Of course they joined a new Toile Tea pot and sugar and creamer I also got....Plus some clear glass plates...
Also they are joined by Place mats and napkins for further Tablescapes...
Now guys at Replacement Ltd. to buy this China would have cost me $ 737.54 for all the pieces I got Sunday...But are you ready for this...I kid you not my friends I got all of this for $40.00 plus the wine glasses for a Grand total of a fifty dollar bill...Now tell me I wasn't doing my Happy Dance plus my Irish jig...WOW!! now I only hope I can find the time to do a Tablescape with them by next week...Did I do good guys or what...Hey its on my table so does that count as a Tablescape ha ha!!

Dawn
What a great deal on the pretty china and Fostoria champagne flutes.
Jane
wow!!! what a deal! everything is beautiful.
What a steal!! I've been to replacements limited and ebay looking for a dinner plate for my Victorian Christmas by Johnson Brothers but the plates always run about $20.00-40.00 a piece and I just won't pay that! You go girl, you must go to the right places! They're beautiful. I love neutral dishes! Okay, except for my Christmas dishes that I love and could kick myself for breaking the dinner plate several years ago.
Beautiful find!!! :0) I love your dining room chairs!!! Very pretty! I so wish I could have a tour of your beautiful home...I just know I'd be completely in love with it! Is it an older house to match all the wonderful antiques? Smiles :0)!
Hi Gloria, girl, you are the queen of bargains. This is wonderful and they are so pretty!!!!!
Hugs, Barb
BEAUTIFUL dishes! ooooh how I hate to pack and unpack things... your first photo reminded moi of moving... ugh!
ENJOY your day!

I was waiting to know the price!! $40.00! I'm going to put ivory dishes in my upper, lit cabinets when our kitchen is finished. Oh how I wish I could find a deal like this! They truly are GORGEOUS. I bought a cheap set from a local import store, just to make do until some crazy, good deal like your's comes along.

Gloria, Try sprinkling cinnamon all around your kitchen counter tops. It burns the ants & should keep them away. It's messy, but better than ants! ☺ Diane
Girl, you always find the neatest stuff!!! I am sooo excited to be going to an estate sale in the morning that has advertised stuff from 1900-. Bet I'll hardly get any sleep tonight (no more than 8 or 9 hours anyway, HA). "Talk" soon, thanks for visiting!
Gloria, what a steal, I mean deal!! i think you win the most frugal award!! They are beautiful! Great job! Sue
Beautiful, I love the pretty gold rim.
hi Gloria,
Thanks for stopping by and leaving such nice comments.
have a wonderful weekend!
fondly, Rhonda in CA
Oh Gloria, your new dishes are absolutely stunning. I really love them, and then all the pretty wine glasses too. It is so unusual to find a whole set, and this one has so many pieces. You really hit the jackpot and they are just fabulous. I love all your other goodies too, but the dishes really steal the show. Also to let you know the next "Cloche Party" is scheduled for Sept. 11th for the Fall season. Be sure to grab the button on my sidebar to remind you and to let all your friends know. See you there. Hugs, Marty
OMG! Gloria, these are gorgeous! What a deal! I REALLY need to go to that swap meet! The china and the stemware are all so elegant! You are THE bargain finder! laurie
