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. |

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.

Lovely, lovely, lovely!
