First of all, thanks so much to everyone who participated in Mosaic Monday. I had such a great time visiting you all and seeing your wonderful mosaics!
Today I wanted to show you a few pretties I got at an estate sale last week. This was a three-day-sale, with loads of beautiful dishes and silver. Of course, I couldn't pass up the milk glass dish (above).
And then I saw this Limoges serving dish, with a beautiful reticulated edge. Yes, it was really calling my name. I heard it.
I know dishes are supposed to be functional, but I bought this one just because it's so beautiful. Do you ever do that? This is one of those things that I could just stare at.
Yes, I need to tweak my meds.
Finally, this little milk glass vase. It's about three inches high, and just too cute. I have to admit that I actually went back the second day and got a few more things. I'll show them to you later in the week. I'm also getting together a giveaway for my 500th post. More on that, too.
Have a great week, dear bloggers!

When they call your name, you must comply. It would be cruel not to take them home with you.
ReplyDeleteEach piece is so pretty.
I made my first mosaic yesterday. I'll be posting it next Monday. It looks adequate to me, but hopefully I will improve. ;-)
Oh, what fun! I want to come with you some time.
ReplyDeleteWow what a find. They are all things I would love.
ReplyDeleteMy china cabinet is full. Of course there is always a little room left. Haven't been able to do the mosaic yet, but I will keep trying.

Beautiful. As always.
ReplyDeleteThey are all just gorgeous. I love the little limoges dish. Stunning. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful finds! I love them all, and I think the little petite milk glass fan-shaped vase is my favorite! Have a wonderful week!

Pleasing finds :o)
ReplyDeleteOh, I agree that when we hear our name the minute we get to the sale, it is rude and cruel to even TRY to ignore them!! :O)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pieces, dear Mary....
When those precious finds whistle at you and shout, "Yo, Mary! Over here!" --- Well, you just must obey.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think that Limoges piece IS useful; it will keep you occupied and out of mischief whilst you gaze upon it!
Happy chilly Tuesday!

Pretty pretty pretty - I had a lot of milkglass one time - and then got rid of it - now I wish I hadn't. I also got rid of a couple sets of dishes -and you guessed - now I want them back. Can't wait to see what else you bought - you have such marvelous taste.
ReplyDeletegorgeous finds....maybe I need to go thrifting today as it is raining...yet again
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL...I LOVE WHITE MILK GLASS AND IF I HAD BEEN AT THAT ESTATE SALE I ONLY HOPE I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN TO THAT PRECIOUS LITTLE FAN VASE FIRST...IT IS JUST A LITTLE BEAUTY...I WOULD SO LOVE TO HAVE ONE JUST LIKE IT.
ReplyDeleteTHANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING.
HUGS AND GIGGLES

Five hundred is sure a lot of posts! One my gardening blog I have close to 400. But it's all so much fun, isn't it? I am on a dish craze. Looking for dishes and teapots and anything glass. My current obsession.

Beautiful finds and congratulations on 500! ☺ Diane
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I would have bought all of those, and I could sit and look at the first two pieces with a smile on my face even if I never used them! laurie
ReplyDeleteLove the Beaded Grape open candy dish. Westmoreland made the best milk glass.
