Collection of Vintage Rose Dishes


Hello,
Well instead of Spring cleaning I have been doing some Fall cleaning
mainly because I didn't get to it in the Spring... or Summer for that matter!
I love collecting vintage dishes especially ones with roses
but I really don't enjoy the job of washing them all!
But needless to say they needed to be done!
I finally got them all back in my china closet...
but still haven't got the vintage doilies washed and back in ... sigh!
The set on the top shelf are one of my favorites.
I found them at a yard sale in perfect condition for $3.50 for the set!
They have wild roses on them and I think they are beautiful.
The second shelf is a mismatch of rose dishes and my
very small collection of pink depression glass.
This set of dishes I bought when I was 17 years old
from an elderly lady that I cleaned for.  
Wow that was 30 years ago! Shhh... lol
The funny thing is I have about 20 dinner plates
and only 1 cup! 
Someday........ I plan on using some of the extra plates for a 
broken china table mosaic and looking for some more matching cups.
So there you have it my nice clean collection of 
vintage rose dishes in my china closet :)
 I made this rose pomander ball to hang on the key.
I hope you enjoyed looking at
part of my collection of vintage dishes!


Thanks for stopping by,

Gold Tone Thrifty Finds Repainted Cottage White


Hello,
I wanted to share a few tag sale finds 
that I repainted white.  
First is a set of vintage metal Homco wall fans.
These were previously gold tone.
I had originally planned to add vintage rhinestones to the fans
so after I painted them I put them in this metal picture easel (also originally gold tone)
so they wouldn't get scratched.

But for now I think they look so pretty just the way the are!
I paired them up with a metal teapot that I had previously 
painted white (originally gold tone too!) that I had decorated 
with ribbons, pearls and roses and I think they look great together!
I have them sitting on a glass cake plate on top of my hutch♥
These were all tag sale finds
and with only a few coats of white paint...
turned them into beautiful thrifty cottage style decor!.
Thank's for stopping by,
Beverly
