~ Not So Vintage Plates

I'm not in business anymore, but I miss my junking something terrible. When I'm shopping at the grocery store next to one of my favorite Goodwills - I can't stop myself from taking a peak.

This time I found this! 8 pcs taped together.

Heinrich

It's Floridian

I love to mix and match my dinnerware. On another impulse purchase at Home Goods I snatched up these blue and white plates that go with my decor. Unfortunately, when you buy there ~ you don't always get the entire set, but that's OK by me.

My Decor colors

On EBAY

the single plate goes for $29.99 each!

A $240 value I purchased for $7 plus tax.

I was looking at a plate on sale from Anthropologie but even on sale they were $7.50 each. That's about $65 with tax ~ this other saves me over $57.

Yes it's much cuter and I'm still thinking about it.
It has the whimsy I prefer when decorating.

Not a great match with the bowls ~ and I only have 6 of these bowls. I'm on the hunt for 8 in something navy.

The tiger would match my funky bowls from Anthropologie. It's the correct green combo.

But at $7.00 for 8 pcs ~ impulse won this time.

It all matches my Wine Glasses from the Dollar Store. If the glasses ever break ~ no worry!

Another set I sold at the store.

Midsommar

by IKEA

Trying to sell the set of 4 for $80.

In the '70s or '80s Ikea produced for its Accenten range a line of china called MIDSOMMAR. It was made by the Spal factory in Portugal. The designer was a watercolour artist called Marguerite Walfridson.
