BL(who writes the most mouth watering blog) in a previous post informed me about Villeroy and Boch dinnerware. I have never heard of it when she wrote that comment so I googled it and hmm it was expensive, $30-40 per dinner plate and a 12 piece setting costs $400-$500. So imagine my surprise when I walked into Goodwill and saw this
11 salad/bread/butter plates. And it was priced
Questions running through my mind,
1.Do I need it? Nope
2. Are my guests going to turn over their plates and ohh and aah over the mark/brand name? No
3. Do I have matching dinner plates for this salad plate? Nope, but the plain white(or I can find green ones) will do.
4. Will I ever be able to afford Villeroy and Boch(even though I didnt know wtf it was until Dec)? Nope
5. Should I buy all 11? Heck Yeah!
And it added color in the hutch. I was too lazy to take a picture with the Nikon. Hence the bad quality.I really want a bar cart now.
I am going to throw a dinner party every 5-6 weeks. I owe quite a few people. June, the friends who helped us move, the other neighbour who babysat for us, and she came over every evening to help bring a load or two with me, another friend who invited us when NK was away. My goal is to have my first dinner party mid Feb.
Below is the hutch in the corner of the dining room. Pretty things…make me happy. Can I just say how happy I am in this house.
Sigh
are you always this lucky? i want to stay next to you so that I also get some deals!!!
Wow!! I need to research thrift stores in my area..
I want thrift stores I want thrift stores!!!
I also like your oval serving plate and soup tureen. Now you have more VB than I do – for the price of my one.
Well, have fun throwing your dinner parties. And you still have space in your hutch for more good finds
Thanks for the link love and Hooray for thrift store shopping! I love all your great finds….especially that punch bowl set!

Ooooh, and that armoire? To die for!
I think u have thrifting mind power:)..You dream of something and it magically appears in the thrift stores:)..Maybe you could tell people your a thrifting Psychic!:)
You make me want to go to thrift stores……..I just hate the smell as you enter. It’s worse than going into an asian store that fry’s fish!
Me: This cracked me up. rofl
Very cool finds!! I love a good thrift store run!
PS – I’ve been a Katie Bower fan for quite some time!
i am like u know when it comes to crockery and specially a bargain just cant leave it
You super duper show off. You better put a nazar tika on your plates, else they may just break I am telling you!
Me: As the chinese say, choi choi choi
Life is so not fair! I want such super deals too!
Me: Waves hello
I got to go to a thrift store NOW…..Just loveed your finds…..Hope the thrift fairy blesses you the same way all around the year.
Liked the white big bowl(is that wat u call) in the middle rack the most!
Me: The soup tureen? or the oval platter?
Yes Yes Yes !!! The soup tureen…the gorgeous white bowl….I am learning the names for different bowls and plates from here…hi hi .
And the wine decanter is good, i never knew something like that existed. I always pour wine directly from bottle for guests and Yes! am heading to the nearby goodwill when time permits.
Total Chakram you are!!
Me: Had to asked NK whats chakram and his answer was smartypants?
No, it’s crackpot! screw dhilla!
