I spent this past weekend unpacking the Christmas dishes and getting a jumpstart on the Christmas decorating. After I got them all out I was a little shocked at how many there were! In the above picture is the vintage Tom & Jerry egg nog set that my mom gave me. The stemware is from the Dollar Tree this year.
The Twelve Days of Christmas set is from Goodwill over the summer.
Both the Mikasa salad plates and the hand painted poinsettia stemware are from yard sales. I’ve had the salad plates for quite a few years. I only paid $5 for the box of four and would love to have more but when I checked them out on ebay, they go for about $75 for the set. That’s a little bit too much out of my price range!
Lenox napkin rings from Goodwill and the snowflake plates are from the Dollar Tree a couple of years ago.
I just love this little set of 8 vintage glasses. Yes, they came from a yard sale. They say Happy New Year and Merry Christmas! I also have a set of snowmen dishes that I purchased from the Dollar General a few years ago. These go in the cabinet and are used everyday during the Christmas season. Now...where do I put them?
Thanks for stopping by!
