I've long admired this pattern but let's face it - I am cheap - and I was never willing to spend whatever the asking price was. Until last week, that is. I scored the cups and small plates for a mere .45 cents each and the dinner plates for $1.20 each. I'm still kicking myself in the rear for not buying all of the available ones! How dumb was that?? Then again, what was I really going to do with china for 8 or 16? I mean these are adorable and all but not exactly gender-neutral! And as it stands, I don't really have large gatherings of females over for tea & biscuits so the set of 4 is probably sufficient!!
In addition to the 4 cups, salad plates and dinner plates, I also snatched up 2 serving bowls for a very good price! I'm definitely on the hunt for other pieces in this pattern. There's quite a few pieces on Etsy & I'm sure tons of it on Ebay but I'd rather hunt for them myself. That way I don't accumulate too much of it right away!
Anyway, I'm still plugging along here at home. My friend is having one of "those" parties this weekend so I've been spending a lot of time helping her plan our fun little girls night in. The food is hilarious, the decor is going to be great & I'm so looking forward to getting out of the house for a few hours prior to going dancing! Hope you all are having swell weeks - I'll be stopping in soon!!
I'm also sharing my new-to-me dinnerware over at My Romantic Home for Show & Tell Fridays. Please stop in & have a look at all of the fabulousness over there too!!

You are headed in the right direction of having your dream kitchen come true. I like the dishes you picked.
That is a beautiful set of dishes. Congrats on your find and the price you paid.
What pretty dishes. I like the cool, calm colors. Thanks for sharing today. Come see me soon. Anne
Great set of dishes. I like how the blue is in the inside of the coffee cups. I agree, it is much more fun to find them yourself rather than buying on ebay. It's like a treasure hunt.
Great find! It's so fun to come across something you've been hoping to find!
Very pretty!
Have fun at the hen party!
I love those dishes. I used to have several pieces, and in a week moment a few years ago, I donated them...and have been kicking myself ever since. Happy VTT
Oh I have the same dishes in my shop. I love aqua. As you can especially see from my last post. Thanks for sharing.
Love the dishes! And the idea of a pink and aqua kitchen sounds sublime.
I love those dishes. And really love the price, too. You got yourself quite a steal.
I love the dishes. I'm kicking myself for passing a set up very similar to those.
I was sorry to hear about you and Will.

I love that pattern! I gave my friend the sugar bowl and creamer for her birthday last year, she collects it as well. Good find!
