First I was stopped at a thrift store downtown on my lunch break and walked right up to these beautiful blue and white plates with the name Irene on them .Sort of a flow blue plates where the deep blue runs over into the whites of the plates.
The best thing about the find they were $1.00 each
Here is her name Irene with her crown
I am thinking of bringing a small table up to my office so I can set a little table and leave it set at all times, sort of like playing house LOL
I have a couple other things to show next
Linky Parties I joined in
What a wonderful find!

DeleteDear Janice:
ReplyDeleteThose Irene plates are so lovely. They were just waiting for you to come love them. The hunt and find has happened and wasn't that fun except that it makes you want to go hunt and find again. Must be some disease named the "Hunt and Find" disease! So glad you shared.
Oh, what gorgeous plates! You really found a treasure in those. I love the blue and white with the sponged on gold trim. Happy for you, Janice, and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi

ReplyDeleteWOW these are gorgeous and for only one dollar each. You hit the jackpot on these beauties. I love them! xo
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful! They are similar to my grandmother's plates but no gold trim and just 3 garlands of blue flowers. The name on the back is 'Princess'. Yes, bring that table up and enjoy them!!! Life is too short!!!
ReplyDeleteNow that is what I call a bargain. They are a great find, beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh my these are just breathtaking! I would be beyond thrilled to come across a find like this! Good show!

ReplyDeleteThose plates are, without a doubt, the prettiest I've seen. I never see anything like them when I go to the shops, and if I did they certainly wouldn't be only $1!! I am amazed..Happy Wednesday..Judy
ReplyDelete$1.00 each? What an amazing deal. They're beautiful. Thanks for sharing them at Talk of the Town.

They're beautiful, such a delicate pattern and I like the gold edging. You got a bargain.
ReplyDeleteGood Afternoon Janice, It is lovely to meet Irene.... she is beautiful. I adore blue and white plates and Irene is certainly a beauty and at such a cheap price.... that is what makes it even more exciting.
ReplyDeleteWe call thrift stores, charity shops over here in England and like you, I like nothing more than finding a fabulous bargain.
I will keep my eyes open for my very own set of Irene plates.

Beautiful! I love my blue and white dishes, and don't think I could ever have enough! I strongly recommend that you DO bring a table to your office and set it up. I do this at work, and it is so soothing to look at beautiful china while working.
ReplyDeleteOMG! It's gorgeous and $1 each, so lucky you! I love blue and white dishes and I just decorated some vignettes with mostly blue and actually I didn't plan, so it means I have plenty of.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to do it at work, you must try it!
Hugs,
FABBY
These are absolutely gorgeous! And only $1 each, that's a steal. I love finding things that you just don't see everywhere. Great find!
ReplyDeleteTammy
DeleteI tried to find you in blogland and couldn't ?
Do you have a blog? etc
thanks for visiting me
Be still my heart. Those plates are spectacular. They are my kind of plates too but I would never find them for such a steal. I can't believe you only paid $1.00. How lucky. Enjoy them. Incredible find.
