I have a few thriftstore treasures to share this week.

I saw these six plates at Goodwill and I thought they might match a pattern I have in a couple of tea cups.
What do you think? I think they go together quite well! They’re not even made by the same company.
The coloration is almost identical and the patterns go together so nicely. That was a very happy find! I’m always happy when I find dishes! You can click to enlarge the picture to see the pattern better.
I was also happy to find this Victoria Ware pitcher! I collect blue transferware so this will fit in nicely with that collection.
The markings on dishes can be very deceiving! You would think this was English transferware, but it’s really a Chinese knockoff, but still a pretty piece and a good price!
I’ve mentioned before that I’m covering one of the walls in my foyer with thriftstore mirrors and I found another one for $4. This one had a cheap silver frame but I like the cheaper mirrors because they’re usually lighter and I don’t have to worry too much about how I hang them.
So I spray painted this one a glossy black and hung it with the others.
The hard part about doing it this way instead of just going out and buying a bunch of mirrors all at once, is the obvious gaps that happen! But it’s much more fun to find each one separately!
I forgot to show these ceramic flower thingies the last time. I guess they’re tiebacks? Anyway, I don’t need any tiebacks like this at the moment but I thought they would be pretty displayed in something.
So I put them in a creamer in my black cabinet.
I think they look pretty there!
That’s it for me. I didn’t find alot, but I really love all the things I did find! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great week everyone!
Hi Manuela
I think you did pretty well. Those dishes really look good with the others and even though it's Chinese I love the blue and white vase. I'm having a welcome fall party and would love it if you'd join in. It's on Tuesday the first day of fall. You can read about it on my blog
((hugs)) Rhondi
I think those dishes were made for each other–even i they didn't know it!
I think the plates are perfect with your cups and saucers. And the blue and white pitcher is beautiful…especially with dried hydrangea in it!
Rhonda
Wow, those dishes look like a set! They're so pretty too!
Brenda
WOW

Did I say WOW ????
You did FABULOUS girlfriend !
Love all your finds – you do gots good taste !
Kammy
Yes, you did good, as always. Those dishes look like they were made to go together. I love collecting things over time too. Thrill of the hunt! thanks for filling in for me last week. 🙂
Those dishes are amazing. I would have never guessed they didn't match.
Love the roses. I really don't know what they are!!
Oooh, great stuff! I love the mirror wall. I was thinking of doing this in our basement where we have a long empty wall so that we could get more reflective light.
You got some great stuff there, Manuela! I love the dishes! I think they go with what you have without being matchy-matchy; that worked out great.
I know it's not your new mirror, but I love the way the oval one picks up your pumpkin topiary.
Those plates match perfectly; the set is lovely.
Ohhhh, I always love your finds and redos! Those dishes are Gorgeous and they look like they were made to go together! I love the little pull backs in the creamer on display, so cute!
Manuela, those dishes were made to go with your teacup. They look great. You must have hundreds of dishes by now, not counting the ones in your garden. I'll call you DishGalManuela from now on. 😀 Just teasing. Have a great week.
Oh Manuela! Great deals! I love how the tea cups match the plates, perfect! The pitcher is wonderful and I love the tiebacks 🙂 Thanks for sharing your treasures.
Thank you for your last post too! Great tips 🙂
Have a blessed day!
Sharon
Oh please don't tell me you got that Victoria Ware pitcher at the GW close to me. You always find great stuff.
Don't know if you knew but a new GW is opening up in Hiram. One day I need to go out there and find it.
Have a great day even in the wonderful rain, will it ever stop?
Ally
Those match perfectly! You would think they were meant to go together!
The frame is great, too. I wish I had room for an arrangement like that. I really dont know where I'd put it!
Those flowers are really neat.
Good finds. I like the flower thing-ys…
hello
always amazed at the wonderful things you find out there. those plates were lovely…and i adore anything with red in it.
have a wonderful evening.
Wow, the plates look like they match the tea cup & saucer perfect. Fabulous find.
I never would guess the dishes weren't made by the same company. I like the little flower tiebacks in the cremer! Cute!
Wow, those dishes match great! I'm in love with the pumpkins in the urn in your hall and I am SO in love with your mirror wall. I have an odd wall in the living room that needs lots of help. I'll have to keep this in mind!
ohh! I LOVE those rose tie backs! great find!
Those dishes are perfect. You must have been thrilled xoxo Clarice
The dishes are beautiful! 🙂

I really like your black framed mirror and the group of them together, I will have to look out for some cheap mirrors 🙂
I think those dishes look great together! Love the idea of hanging a collection of mirrors together.
Hi Manuela,
Those dishes are fabulous and they do match really well. You did good girl!
Please stop by and say hi. Be Well!
Hi Manuela,
You found some wonderful things! I heart those plates~ they are so beautiful! 🙂 And I think they look nice with your teacups, too. I love how the mirrors look in your foyer~ so pretty~ and the flower tiebacks look great in your cabinet! 🙂
I hope you had a wonderful weekend! 🙂
Love how your china patterns work together! Great eye! And those little ceramic flowers will look pretty in so many different displays… I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for something like them that I might have ordinarily overlooked.
WOW you would think they were a set if you didn't look really close! Way to go! The frames look wonderful, great idea. And the flower thingies are very pretty! Look nice in the creamer
*hugs*deb
The plates are absolutely beautiful and I think they match pretty well with the cups and saucers. Good find indeed!
Those plates are a fantastic find … they go so well the tea cups. I love red and these are beautiful!
Manuela, those red rimmed plates are so pretty and look wonderful with the cups and saucers. That was a GREAT find! Love what you did with the little flower thingeys – so sweet! Linda
Your china is a real find. It matches almost perfectly!
They all look fabulous. It's getting to the end of yard sale season here so the pickings were quite slim, but still So fun to find those treasures. :)Love the tea cups.
You must have one of the best Goodwills ever!
Jane
What a great find those dishes were! After I admired the cup and saucer I did an online search for the pattern and couldn't even come up with anything! The dishes look great with the cup & saucer. The blue and white picher is beautiful, how can you tell it's a knockoff? Enlighten us!
Hi Manuela!
What lovely finds. The dishes are simply gorgeous!
Kimberly 🙂
I love the plates that you found. I get excited whenever I find dishes too. (Like I really need more dishes)LOL
I love the blue and white vase too. I really like the little roses. They look pretty in your creamer. Little details do a lot.

Your china pieces go so well together, Manuela! I never see stuff like this in our thrift stores! sheesh…
I like your blue/white pitcher, as well. You always find the neatest things!!
