Auction Dishes

This weeks auction was more of a "man thing"....lots of tools and guy stuff.    H bought a John Deere wagon to pull behind his lawn mower....I'll show you that later.   Anyway...so  it was just the kind of auction that I love....girly things going really cheap since it was mostly men attending the auction!
I bought these gorgeous dishes.....
There were 3 serving dishes.....a covered vegetable server,  a serving bowl,  and a platter.....
12 plates,  11 dessert plates,  11 saucers, and 6 cups..

The little metal basket of dishes on the left was $6....just for the dishes....I already had the basket.
I thought the milk glass pieces would go well with the new dishes....
The pattern is a soft blue and pink....  the dishes are marked Haviland France on the back.
For the tablecloth,  I used a large crocheted piece with a wide lace table runner.  

What did I pay for 43 pieces of china.....$5!    
I bought this little round table to sell in the booth......
H gave it a good coat of pink paint.
  I bought a gallon of Antique Aqua yesterday and can't wait to see some pieces painted that color.   

Thank you so much for stopping by today!   See you soon!

  19. Gorgeous! :) Wish there were auctions here..but so far have heard of none. The delicate blue flowers and the scalloped edges..the touches of gold...lovely! Both platters in the set of dishes I recieved via UPS were smashed to pieces. I was so disappointed. Ah well...it's always a gamble. Do you get to check out things you wish to buy before the auction? I've never participated in one so have no idea how it works.
