Rose Dishes

We're on vacation but I couldn't resist going back into my files and posting...I didn't want to miss out on the parties this week.

I apologize for not getting back to any of your helpful comments last week. With packing and trying to get ready to go, I just couldn't...I thought I would but it just didn't happen.

I found this large set of dishes at my favorite thrift store a few months ago. It could stand a few more cups but there are a dozen dinner plates and saucers. There are about 6 salad plates and 6 soup bowls.

I love the sugar bowl but the little creamer was missing. I just happened upon one for sale on Etsy so I grabbed it but I didn't take a picture to add to these.
I just love the pattern with the sweet pink roses and the blue and gold border. I wouldn't mind adding to this set.
The pattern is Mt. Vernon and it was made by Hall for Sears. I found them in an old Sears catalog...I need to ask Mr. Wild what year but they were featured as the top of the line dishes at that time in that catalog.

Thanks for visiting and I'll try to do better on returning comments.

We're out in wild and wonderful Wyoming working on our retirement place.

Be sure to check out these parties...

Old Barn Sale...

I found a new Barn Sale last weekend, in spite of the rain, wind and a very cold day, it was still fun to get out and discover a new junking place.

I finally found PINK rose dishes!!! I see all of your pretty blogs and your beautiful rose dishes so I have been on the search and I got lucky...I found almost all of them in one day!




The 2 plates here were from the Barn Sale except I did pick up the little pitcher on eBay...




Both of these from the Barn Sale...

I found this cake plate in Miss Gracie's Etsy Shop...

A couple more from the Barn Sale... the most I paid for one at the sale was $3.99...

This sweet little pitcher needed a home, it was only a couple of dollars, it has a chip and a repaired handle but it sits so nicely on my mantle...

A small wood box with old green paint for $2. I filled it full of old mop buttons...

An old white chippy chair for $3! I couldn't leave that behind and I even have the right place for it at home...it's a little rough around the edges but that's okay for the garden...

And lastly this home made hutch? Not sure what to call it. I need an old white bench to set it on and I plan to add a back to it. I have it on my front porch and I'll find some treasures to put inside...it still needs a little work but I thought it was kind of a fun addition.


Don't you think I should go back this coming Friday, it was so much fun and prices were reasonable and there won't be another sale until Halloween....(can you hear a little whining here???)

Thanks for stopping!
