Thrifty Finds

Hello everyone~ Hope you are all enjoying your first week of Autumn! I have been out thrifting again and brought these goodies home for under five dollars.

I love pretty plates, especially when they're a bargain! This pretty ten and a quarter inch cake plate which is adorned with 22kt gold filigree was 75 cents at the Salvation Army.



And these two nine inch plates I thought would look pretty hung on the wall. 


All three of these plates have the Briar Rose on them and made by Dominion China.



I also found this pink candle holder for fifty cents. There were two of them but I only got one. Perhaps I should have gotten both.







Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend.

I am sharing this post with the following parties~

  6. Ohmygosh Sandi, what a shock to read your post and see the china from my childhood. Your thrift finds were our good dishes when I was young:) I have one piece left and the gold pattern around the edges is almost worn off from wear and washing. Jen

  11. Lovely lovely roses! I found a pink Rose platter from the Goodwill Store that matched the pattern of a Teapot and cups and saucers that I had purchased some time ago from either a yard sale or another Goodwill store. I was so delighted to see that they matched.
    Hope you don;t regret not getting that other candle holder :-).
    Love your blog!

  19. Hi Sandi,
    the plates look very elegant. The filigree is so detailed made and the rose is so naturally designed. They make a pretty adornment on the wall and will look great at the table, too. Thank you for sharing this treasure.
    Best greetings, Johanna

    I love the sparkle on those white pumpkins too.
