| H and I went to an estate sale in Muleshoe, Tx on Friday. Muleshoe is a little town 30 miles from where we live, about 5,000 people. It was one of the largest sales I have ever seen, huge house, and several out buildings, all full! I picked up this set of Melamine dishes, 7 for $5.00. Sadly, there was not a complete set of 8, one must have got lost because I know you can't destroy this kind of dish!!! H bought 2 wood file cabinets for his workshop that I will show later, $10 each. |
 |
| Says 'Melamine" on the back of the dishes. |
 |
| I am busy decorating for Christmas , so this simple tablescape was put together in about 30 minutes! For the centerpiece I used a lamp that my mother bought in 1950 while visiting San Diego, Ca. |
 |
| These are some 50's pink glasses with a cute gold birdcage theme. |
 |
| Of course, plastic dishes need plastic silverware. |
 |
| I collect vintage hot pads, so I added some of them to the tablescape. |
 |
| Vintage pitcher.... |
 |
| And I threw in a Santa! (On the buffet, you can see a peek of the Putz glitter village I have been working on for Christmas!) |

ReplyDeleteYour table looks pretty with your floral dishes and those very cool glasses. Love the lamp too!

Love love those pretty dishes. Your crochet doilies look perfect with them. Love the lamp, I've got one similar in greens. Nice visit.. xo marlis
ReplyDeleteStopping over from Vintage Thingie Thursday. I love love love the vintage pink glasses with the golden bird cages! The vintage hot pads are so cute, too. I love your entire pink tablescape. You must be a grand decorator. An ounce of your skills would help me out a long way. :) Have a great week!

You really did well on your trip to Muleshoe.
ReplyDeleteI have lots of old Melamine/Melmac dishes that I have collected throughout the year. They are perfect for Summer barbecues! I am in love with that pink pitcher. It is definitely on my want list.
ReplyDeleteErica
Great find! When I was little we had "melmac" dishes which were the same - haven't seen them in years!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun find...you did a pretty table with them! I grew up eating off Melmac!
ReplyDeleteLove the pink glasses!!
ReplyDeleteI love the pink melamine plates and the pink vintage glasses are pretty with them. I like going to sales and antiquing and you certainly found a treasure at this one. When you mentioned Mule Shoe, Texas, I knew it was near Lubbock. My son is now living in Lubbock and we are driving there with my mother for Thanksgiving. He works for KCBD 11 as the weekend Sports Anchor and just loves Lubbock and being back closer to home for he is from Texas. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
