A Trip to My Local Thrift Store and What Do I Find?!

Remember a couple of weeks ago I said, I found something

at the thrift store I'd share with you later...well this is it!

I wasn't even looking for new dishes, well okay I was, but

I was shopping for plain white, (they don't even have to

match), but what should I spot??? But the most beautiful vintage

China dishes with the sweetest little flower boarders with white

centers and a large rim of the prettiest pale yellow I've ever

seen...but again, (reminding myself), even though

they were truly gorgeous, I was ONLY looking for

plain white dishes for everday. 

and then...

just around the corner,

I saw a beautiful platter, 

and a bowl,

another platter ...

YOU Guessed it,

they matched the dinner plates I'd just seen...

OMG!

telling myself, I don't really need these...

Really I don't,

truly

I

don't,

but

they're

to

die

for

gorgeous

~*~

I went back and loaded up the dinner plates and started

looking through the smaller plates and bowls and sure

enough, there was the whole set, everything but cups

and saucers...before I knew it I had a shopping cart

full of a beautiful  'Sampy' China set (stamped made in Japan).

~such a sweet pattern~

large bowls and small fruit bowls (or cups)

dessert plates and a gorgeous platter

small platter, sugar bowl and creamer

~Swoon~

...and the next day,

my friend Pattie found four

cups & saucers and the bread plates

whilst browsing through 'OUR FAVORITE'

thrift store! Needless to say, she sped

drove over to my school to let me

know I should go back to the thrift

store after work to check out the dishes

that they'd just put out, that went with my set!

And the best part of this thrifting story is...

 I took all the dishes up to the teller and had

them hold them while I drove home to

pick up the two boxes of items I had

ready for the thrift store (and had forgotten to

load up), I traded them for a 20% discount

that I was able to use on my NEW dishes!!! YAY!

I just love them, but now I'm thinking I need would love a new

china hutch with a glass door and maybe a light

to show off my new set of dishes!

 It doesn't hurt to DREAM!
