Thrifting Thursday!

My air conditioning is working again!! The kids had a sleep over with Grandma (love that woman.) I had a good nights sleep and I am ready clean, organize, and post! I did a lot of shopping this week with no air conditioning at home I had to get out, right? I have been so bummed that I never seem to get lucky finding full transferware sets. That's what I want! So look what I found two days in a row!!


Getting a little crowded. Hee hee. Again, it's not that I have too much stuff. It's  the house.

It's not English, but it counts as a transferware, right? Double Phoenix, Nikko. Could never find the pattern name, but I really like this Dutch scene. 



I was so tickled to find this. I could only see the teacup as they were stacked on the top shelf. I had that set down in my cart quicker than you can say hoarder.

It was easy to find the name of this. It's Churchill, Antique Rose. I know what you are thinking. Didn't I just do a post on having too many dishes? Yes. Shhhh. I also made room in pantry, if you don't remember. :)


I am very happy with these dishes. I am going to keep them. I plan on doing a tablescape with them. I will enjoy them and use them when we have people over for dinner.
So....the best part of my Thursday finds? Each set was $10.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
