Some of you might remember that I bought these dishes at WalMart
last fall...
last fall...
I was kicking myself wishing I had bought 2 sets and planned on going back and buying more.
THEN...
my favorite thrift haunt, ♫♪♪ GOODWILL ♪♪
came thru for me and I found another brand new set .....for $10.00
I. WAS. SO. HAPPY.
NOW, I could set a place for 8..
BIG-TIME GRIN
AND today, I found 2 more salad plates..
SET OF 2...$2.OO
still has the brand new sticker on them.
Guess someone just didn't need these two.
I often wonder...well...
heck, I pretty much ALWAYS wonder why someone gives away so many great things.
Many reasons, I suppose...

If people keep giving them to GOODWILL, I may can get another full set...sooo cool...

Actually... I really don't need any more dishes. I am having the devil of a time finding places to put them.
GOOD GRIEF....
...but, what's a girl to do when she LOVES dishes..and loves going thrifting..and has the
THRIFT ANGEL ♥ riding on her shoulders,
pointing the way to all kinds of dish treasures
?
Why....she just goes looking for places to store them...another hutch ?
I think not...NO ROOM..
....any more room UNDER THE BED ?
I think not...NO ROOM
Where do you keep most of YOUR dishes.when your hutch/s are full ?

I love these little tiny white pumpkins.
I want a BIG one to try to do the MERCURY GLASS look on..
anyone know how to do that ?
So as I am reading your post and thinking, oooh, nice dishes...the other part of my brain is saying...you cannot have more dishes...I totally do not have any room for more dishes, glasses, napkin rings...serving dishes...shall I continue? Now you know that won't stop me if I find something I just got to have...but really, somebody should slap me!!
ReplyDeleteHi BJ!
ReplyDeleteI love how you put little notes in your blog title ... can you share how you do it?
That living room in Something's Gotta Give is also my favorite ... I just watched the movie a few weeks ago - for the umteenth time.
Oh how exciting! I have a set of dishes that came from Brookshires grocery store about 20 years ago! I almost sold them at a yard sale because I didn't have enough for my expanding family...between thrift stores and Goodwill..my set is now complete with bowl, gravy boat and pitcher! Woo Hoo! I love finds like that! I'm excited for you!! :-) A girl can not have too many dishes!
ReplyDeleteI could do a blog post on this alone....where I store my dishes....all over the house! Literally. I have waaaaayyyyy too many myself!
ReplyDeleteWhat great deals!! Dont you just love it. I've turned a closet into a dish closet to fit more dishes.
ReplyDeleteWow - so happy you found more of those beautiful dishes. Goodwill is my personal favorite store...always so many great finds :O)
ReplyDeleteHope you can come over & say hi sometime. We're having a $50 Shopping Spree giveaway on our site this week.
Hugs,
Marie
Wow...you did some serious thrifting this week! So did I!
ReplyDeleteThose dishes are adorable! Cute as all get out!
YOU are an absolute delight, bj!!
Oh how very pretty! Nothing better than a bargain and finding what you want :) PS-love white pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe your good fortune to find a second set at Goodwill--that'a a riot! And the napkin rings too??!! They're really pretty.
ReplyDeleteYou have hit the dish jackpot!
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of boxes of dishes in the attic.....
Oh, I love your dishes! The colors, and the pattern are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI don't think there is any such thing as enough space when it comes to pretty dishes.
Love your new header BJ! The dishes are pretty, I'm glad you found another set! I understand about the lack of space, that's why I had to stop buying things:@)
ReplyDeleteAwesome find BJ!
ReplyDeleteI have a set of shelves inthe basement for my overflow, if I didn't have them I don't know where I would store my dishes! I just found a set of brown transferware plates at SA!
It's the wall of books next to the fireplace that totally does it for me in that room!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your newest addition. Don't you just love it when you find exactly what you already needed (wanted). Those dishes are wonderful, I love the pattern! Your thrift fairy is very good! LOL!
What a topic, I am currently looking for a buffet that would fit decor-wise into my livingroom! Just for the purpose of housing dishes. I missed those dishes at walmart, they are sure pretty. Hey, there are worse hobbies, right?
ReplyDeleteI have the hutches full and cabinets too! I saw on a blog one time to store them in hat boxes... so I have a few of those full too! Enjoy your day dear BJ, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteGreat find, BJ!
ReplyDeleteQuite the successful day!! Love your pretty dishes ... what luck!! *Becca*
ReplyDeleteSuper finds!
ReplyDeleteI like the whole house in Something's Gotta Give!!! So pretty!!!!
Are y'all getting any rain?
(((hugs))),

Great finds, Beeeej! I am staying tuned for the sign winner!!!

What a blessing! I have absolutely no luck at our thrift store. I have been in a big old pout about it recently.
ReplyDeleteDon't even get me started about wanting... and buying dishes and then needing a place to store them. I can resist new ones. It's the thrifted ones that suck me in. I cleaned out an extra closet in my bedroom, and that's where a lot of mine go.
Love your beautiful purchases and how you co-ordinated it all so perfectly. I really have to ask the question; where do you find room for all your lovely new dishes?
ReplyDeleteWish I could, but my space limits me; maybe the answer is to get rid of some. Somthing's gotta give for sure.
Rita
Those dishes are so pretty and perfect for Fall! Isn't it fun to find something that wonderful thrifting?? : )
ReplyDeleteLove,
Sue
Those dishes are perfect for Fall! You could try placing them in those rubbermaid totes and storing them in your basement or garage if you don't have any room elsewhere. I do that with some things of mine that I don't use very much. That would keep them dust free too.
ReplyDeleteBJ -- those dishes seriously tempted me at Walmart but my dish storage is over-flowing...nothing *new* can come in without something going out....that is NOT easy, lol!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Gail
I happen to have those same dishes and I love them! Wish I had more ~ lucky you!
ReplyDeleteI am also loving that living room in the photo. It took me a few minutes to look at it before moving on to the rest of your post!
First, I love the new look of your blog! And that is a cute Halloweenie button. I have no room for another saucer! Yet I am still collecting pieces of a vintage Noritake pattern! Closets are bursting at the seams here.......I don't know where to put anything. :( xo
ReplyDeleteLove the great dish set you found for a song. Love the vignette you created with them and the white pumpkins. These would be great for holiday use. I have a storage shortage. If something new comes in something has to go or else you'll see me on the tv hoarders program..........

Oh they really are wonderful dishes and such a lovely pattern. Isn't it fun when you find more to add to a set. I love the mix of dishes too. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteHi BJ... I got right on the computer to see if you were affected by that BIG RED DUST STORM! I know how you are suffering out there in that drought.
ReplyDeleteI bought a few pieces of those dishes two years ago because I loved the coloring, especially for fall. Ended up taking them back...because I also have TOO MANY DISHES and have them stuffed everywhere. If I can't see them I forget I have them :o)
I did keep the napkins because they go with so many of my fall dishes.

Pretty dishes!! I think you need GLASS to do the "mercury-look"...do share if you find another way! And HOW do you get those little "notes" around your words??
ReplyDeleteLoving all your blog cleverness BJ! I use cake stands in the china closets to make room to stack on top and nestle in below. It helps...a little (:
ReplyDeleteHoly Cow! GREAT dishes. I love your posts, BJ- You do such a great job with your photos and your words add so much to the images. And I LOVE that you change your header up all the time...it is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteNow..you need to perfect a place to store more dishes. Extra bathtub???? xo Diana
I know how to do the mercury glass thing on glass but haven't ever heard of doing it on a real pumpkin. Do post the pics if you ever figure it out! Lucky you with the dishes. I just try to look the other way LOLOLOL - no place to store any more.
ReplyDeleteLove those dishes!!
ReplyDeleteWe have tried to be creative in storing ours. You can see on my blog that we turned a simple billy bookcase into a makeshift china cabinet in the breakfast nook.

ReplyDeleteNice week,kisses from Croatia:)
I am so happy you found those dishes! I know you will enjoy using them.
ReplyDeleteI have no more room for anything. I have to keep donating to make room!
Hi BJ,
ReplyDeleteI have always loved those dishes! I don't blame you for buying them!
Thanks so much for linking to 2nd Time Around!

ReplyDeleteYou asked the absolute question. What is a girl to do when she loves dishes? I live with that problem daily.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finding these pieces.
