On Friday I went to my favorite Goodwill store.This is what I found~
I use china for my everyday dishes.If I don't I never seem to have the right occasion to whip it out.
We have a big family and we don't have enough for everyone.
So it never gets used.
Sad but true.
So I thought to myself...shucks I really want to use that stuff. So I said "hey kids....put your best manners on...we're usin' china."
That's it...I'm bringing the dinner party back in style.
Would you like to come??
It is a Johann HavilandBavaria Germany
set of dishes.
As you can see...this set even came with a creamer & sugar bowl.
It is just the most beautiful shade of blue.The most beautiful thing about this set is that there is PLATINUM all around the edges.
This set is just dreamy.
*sigh*
Now...
You are cordially invited...
to attend...
a dinner party at Maisy's house.Ps. The kicker in all this is that the entire set of dishes, which is made up of:
12 dinner plates
12 salad plates
12 soup bowls
12 bread & butter plates
12 sauce dishes(whatever that means)
12 cups & saucers
a creamer & sugar bowl
1 large vegetable bow
are you ready......
seriously, are you ready???
IT WAS UNDER $100.00
I have had to pinch myself a few times over the weekend.
I just can't seem to bring myself to disassembling the table.
Looks like my family will be eating off this set for Passover.
Happy Monday to all!!!
(don't tell anyone but...that's a Martha Stewart table cloth...shhhhhhhh)

Wow!!! Beautiful china, beautiful table!!! I love to set a pretty table and love using my china. I broke a cup last week when I had the ladies over for my mom's birthday and my china is no longer being made. Oh well. Love the wonderful bargain you were able to get!!!
Your table looks awesome! Just wanted to let you know, I'll be there by dinner!
AWESOME!
You changed your look!! and I can't believe that I hadn't noticed you ARE IN ILLINOIS TOO!!
I know Winfield...used to go to church there even!!
SUPER COOL! because now you can come out some time!! :) yeah!
Your dining room is great!
did you come over and see my surprise?
NO? you say??
then come on by!!
LOVE IT!!!! What a great find!!
SIGH......I think using china for everyday would be awesome! I also love to mix and match my older pieces of china. So pretty and I wouldn't want to take that table apart either.
Admittedly, your goodwill finds make me run to mine and then face utter disappointment as there is never anything exciting there. I will live vicariously!!
Gorgeous! I love the color and everything looks divine on your table! Good steal!
Write me up a place card, I could use a dinner that doesn't involve finger foods for a change!
PS I moved my blog, stop by sometime!
Oh what a great find. I love that you whip your china out for everyday use!!

Those are just beautiful. I also love the platinum trim. It pairs so well with the soft blue. How exciting to find a large amount of a pretty pattern.
Your chairs turned out so lovely. I would love to come to the party!
That is an awesome find!! WTG!! I would be jealous if I wasn't so happy for you! :) Thanks for sharing the great pics! I also keep looking out for a pretty china set. One of my dreams to own one day!~ :)

LOVE your dining room - and the find at Goodwill is perfect! Always so happy to find great stuff at thrift stores, and you certianly did! :)
I think you should totally paint over the bottom and leave the stripes on the top.
What a wonderful set of china and your table looks wonderful. Happy Passover!
