On the way back from Cleveland on Friday, I stopped off at a Goodwill store about 1 ½ hours north of here. I've probably only been there a good handful of times, since it's only a trip that would make sense if I am passing by that exit already, but for some reason I have the best luck at this store. I have run across vintage picnic baskets there, a McCoy vase and all sorts of neat vintage furniture. I have never walked out of that particular Goodwill store empty handed.
And Friday was no exception.
When I walked down the aisle and spotted this china, I stopped dead in my tracks. The blue on the plates was mesmerizing. Really, I stood there for a few minutes just thinking how much I loved the color.
You don't need any plates, Pam.
But, they really are beautiful.
You won't use them that often.
But, they really are beautiful.
You didn't come here with any thought whatsoever in your pretty little head that you were going to buy plates.
But, they really are beautiful. And thanks for calling our head pretty, but we really do need to touch up our roots.
So before I talked myself out of it, I plopped the plates into my cart and ran to the checkout line.
$10 for 4 dinner plates, 4 coffee cups, 4 saucers and 4 salad plates. If you're counting, that's $2.50 a place setting.
And they really are beautiful!

They are really beautiful Pam. I would have had a hard time walking away from those too.

Good for you--that was a good deal! Nothing is worse than having having regret about not buying something you saw at Goodwill!

Pam,
Wonderful deal on the dishes and thank you for sharing them at my party. About the paint color...I will go out to the storage room tomorrow when it's warmer, to check on the name for you.
Blessings,
