More Dishes!

 

 

Okay, I know I said I wasn’t going to buy anymore dishes but I just couldn’t help myself!  We were at the auction and they were selling the box deals and I saw these dishes but I restrained myself.  Then, after no one bided on them, they were just sitting there looking so pretty!  After the outside bidding was over, I approached the lady taking care of the tickets and told her that I wanted them for $3!

 

 

They aren’t expensive dishes but they are pretty dishes!  The bee caught my eye first then I noticed the dragonflies and butterflies.

 

 

There’s even a lady bug on the stem of the flower.

 

 

Even the cup and saucers are nicely detailed.  Then the next day, I went to a yard sale benefitting the animal shelter.

 

 

And that’s were I found these!  Seven dessert plates for $2!

 

 

I love the pink and brown!  Who could resist chocolate?

 

 

I know these are just your basic dishes. But for $4, still in the box, I just couldn’t pass them by!  They are a deep red in color and I have already used them in a couple of tablescapes such as this one and the Harvest table.  I’ve also found that I use basic dishes in tablescapes more than the prettier decorative ones.

 

 

They matched my vintage tablecloth perfectly!  I am having visions of tablescapes in my head!

 

Total amount spend (on dishes!!) $9!  Not bad, huh?

 

Thanks for stopping by!
