Thrift Share - Getting Dished

If this weeks thrifting finds had a theme, it would definitely be Dishes.  I try not to bring home too many glass items since they are heavy to ship & harder to store...but I broke my norm and here's a bit of what I found!
I just loved the retro pattern on these Mikasa Super Star plates.  They are already up in the shop.
These Russel Wright pieces are from the Oneida line, so newer and not as collectible...but I just adore the stacking cream & sugar bowl along with the mugs.  I think I'll keep these for my own delight.
Speaking of adding to my own collection, I picked up this beautiful set of Flintridge of CA china plates.  I blogged about them over at The Thrift Collective this week since I was so excited about how beautiful they look with my existing china.
How fun is this Mikasa Provencal Coffee Pot?  The Cobalt Blue and white really pop & the modern shape and design makes it a timeless classic.  It's already listed in the shop.
This set of 4 glasses from Luminarc are so on Cue! Lol.  I wish we had a game room to use them in.  They were made in France and are heavy glass tumblers just longing for a cocktail! They'll be up in the shop soon.
 A week or so ago, I was reading the wonderful blog of Mid2Mod and was reminded of the wonderful Krenit bowls by Herbert Krenchel .  I'd longed to find one of these bowls in the wild for a long time now, so imagine my surprise when I found not 1, BUT 2 bowls this week!  The Yellow one came first then the blue at a different store.  They make a lovely statement don't you think?  Best part, I spent a total of $5 for  both of them!  WooHoo!  These beauties are staying in my collection for a while!

So, thats the Dish on my finds this week.  I also picked up quite a few lovely dresses and fabrics for the shop that I look forward to sharing with you soon.  Until then, I'll be linking up to the thrift share parties so be sure to check out all of the other treasures over at ATG's Thrift Share Monday & HLA's Flea Market Finds!

Thrift Share - Dinnerware Delight

I've been on somewhat of a shopping drought lately. But I did come across some vintage plates that were quite a delight.
I found a total of 8 plates from the mid century Mikasa Terra Stone line.  
3 Dinner Plates in color Curry Yellow
5 dinner plates in color Bronze Green
 I love the simplicity and weight of the Mikasa plates, but the real find were the pair of these beautiful porcelain dinner plates...
The line is Acapulco by Villeroy & Boch.  I just adore the color & whimsy of the birds and flowers on this pattern.  Not only are they fun, but they are worth a bit of money too.  The dinner plates can go upwards of $100 each.  


Im debating if I will hold onto the Mikasa plates.  They would mix nicely with my current dinnerwear...but the Villeroy & Boch plates have already made their way into my Etsy Shop.

Linking up & looking forward to seeing all of the other lovely finds this week over at Sophie's & Selena's.

Cheers ~ Lara
