Pink Saturday/ Goodwill and Antique Store Finds

Sorry that I am so late getting this posted today! In order to download pics, I have to do it on my son's computer, and he wasn't home last night. I also fell asleep before I got any pics taken. Oops!

Anyhow, Pink Saturday is a weekly event hostessed by Beverly at How Sweet the Sound. She works hard sending out emails every week and getting the list posted.

Even though this is not a Tablescape Thursday post, I haven't done one in a few weeks, so this should satisfy those who are missing my tablescapes, as well as being a Pink Saturday post. Just look what I have this week! I sure do love Goodwill, and most of these finds are from there. Here are a couple views of the table set for one. I am using the antique white linens that I found at the antique shop in Elmore. I also found the pretty painted porcelain plate there as well. My pink tablecloth was a Goodwill find a couple years ago.




Here is a close up of the rose plate. I just love this. I think it only cost me $8 at the antique shop.


I couldn't resist this pink ashtray for only $2. Although I don't smoke, and would NEVER let someone put their ashes in this, it is perfect for holding my jewelry.


I have wanted a porcelain rose figurine, and finally found this treasure at Goodwill for only $3! I have it sitting on one of the cheeseboard stands that I made.


And here it is under glass. This lives on a shelf in my bedroom.


Here is a closer view of the table setting. I found it stacked together just like this on the shelf at Goodwill. That was a sign for sure! The pink plate was $.55, and the two flower plates were $.35 each. In this setting, I added the napkin from the white linenes, and have a napkin ring from the Claremont collection of dishes that I found at Big Lots. There is a LOT more to this set, but I will tell you more about it at another time.


Here is another view.


You can see the cute flowers on the smaller plate a little better from this view.


Here is an alternate setting using one of the Claremont salad plates layered under the smaller flowered plate.


I get so happy when I find bargains like these! It makes it possible to put together a lovely setting at such an affordable price. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I do!

Happy Pink Saturday, everyone!
