During the last week or so, I've been going through my cupboards to keep things under control (I have too much stuff), and trying to decide what I should keep. Then I read Lindsay's post about blue and white ceramic. I was considering giving away my stray Mikasa Flora bread and butter plates (2) and happy yellow bowls (2)....then I thought...why not start a collection of yellow dishes? Why not commit to it?
Then today, there they were, five Mikasa Flora dinner plates! No chips...great condition...$1.99 each
I want to be more selective at thrift stores, since I have too many unnecessary things in the house. I feel comfortable sticking to such a narrow range of items. I just need to stay focused!
ps. Also looking for pyrex dinnerware and restaurant ware in hunter green, amber glass plates, and yellow pyrex mugs.
Love a collection of yellow! Wait until you see my post tomorrow on my love affair on yellow. :)
ReplyDeleteSo funny - I carried those exact dishes around the Salvation Army and put them back! You must have visited just after me. St.Clair? I already have 12 awesome mikasa plates and there just wasn't room for any more. Glad to see they found a good home!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you didn't buy them!!!
ReplyDeleteSo so glad!
I do that all the time though...walk around with stuff and put it back last minute...
