This was waiting for me last night.
My husband really wanted to know
what was in the box.
dishes
Yes, 42 pounds of dishes.
not just any dishes...
(have I told you how much I love dishes)
I called in the help to unwrap
just like christmas
Here they are...I'm so excited.
I've been collecting these for a few years
It started a few years back when
Gayle and I split a set we won on ebay.
My family has grown
and it's time to add to the set.
This set was on ebay.
45 pieces...less than $3.00/pc.
I think the serving pieces alone are worth what I paid.
I took a chance
and bid
and won!

Now buying dishes on ebay does have its risks.
Once I had a box of 8 plates arrive
and every single plate was broken.
Some even have that beautiful crazed and stained look.
These arrived
and
were perfect.
They are stored
here, there and everywhere.
I think for Mother's Day
I'm going to ask for a built-in china cabinet.
I have just the spot in mind...

I love your beautiful dishes and how you have them displayed! Loved seeing the photo of your beautifully set dining table too! I am so happy you won and the dishes arrived in perfect condition! Enjoy! :)

Those are beautiful. Sounds like you got a really good deal. Ebay can be so addictive.
Oh, your "new" dishes are lovely! Breathtaking! How fun it must have been to dig into that box! Your table setting is gorgeous!
Enjoy your new treasures!
Happy White Wednesday!
Warmly,
Lori
LOVE all those beautiful dishes, and what a score from ebay as well! Your photography is gorgous. I always love it.
Take care, Sue
WOW...what fun that must have been to open! They are just gorgeous. I love all white table ware. HWW
Awesome set! Absolutely lovely! What's the name of the pattern? The detail on them is so sweet. I'm so happy for you to get them! How fun!
Doni
I LOVE them!!!
Hi
Well, I guess we were on the same wavelegnth but I haven't gotten a 42 lb box lately. What a great find you got. I have some Rose Point in the mix. Some have the roses on but I like the white better. I mostly have Wedgewood.
Your cupboard looks fabulous!
Blessings
Rebecca
Bee-You-tee-Full! I, too, love white dishes,,, so I'm drooling over here! I have become a follower and I invite you to drop in over at my place one day this week. until later...
You did good, Renee!!!!! Love them, and have never heard of that name...

I love these dishes. What a sweet pattern. So glad they arrived safely. I think a new cupboard is just what you need for these pretties. Don't tell your husband I said that(hahaha).
Enjoy your week!

Rene,
Amazing what treasures can be hiding inside a plain cardboard box.
And what fun to have that flutter inside, as we unwrap piece after piece, so excited, so thrilled, like a wee one on Christmas morn.
I'm so happy for you that you had so much fun.
Suzan
I LOVE LOVE LOVE those white dishes. Lucky you. Such a large shipment and all perfect! You sure hit the jackpot. I have actually won "pink depression glass" on ebay that arrived perfectly. All depends on the seller and how they ship. I would have been crushed if your dishes had arrived in poor shape. So happy for you and yes you need a display cabinet now. Happy day!
Lynn
Oh Rene,
They are WonDerFul!! And so YOU! They will look perfect scattered throughout your amazing home. I can see you now making perfect little vignettes here & there, like the one with the little white shoes! When I come to lunch you can serve me on those! LOL :) Lisa
they are just gorgeous..I love them on your table, I also love the white mirror for a centerpiece, so pretty, ebay is fun!!!!! the weight thing is going ok, it is sssoooo hard, it wasn't that hard putting it on..lol
They are beautiful!!!!I love dishes too:) A cupboard would be great for these beauties.

WOW!!
Your dishes are simply amazing, can't wait to see them displayed in the new cupboard!
Thanks for visiting, and enjoy the weekend,
Monica.
Hi Rene, your dishes are just wonderful, and yes it is a little scary to order on-line, but someone took a lot of time to make sure you wouldn't be disappointed! I think that cupboard is definitely needed!
hugs,
Debra
