50 glass plates for $9.00
18 individual iron serving pots, 6 with lids $5.00
A banana box full of silverand pewter platters $10.00
I also picked up two dozen Maxfli golf balls and a gun rack, for Jordan, for $15.00 total. Two floor lamps were mine for $5.00 total. Sixteen dollars bought me two banana boxes of table linens! There are a few other odds and ends that I will share with you later.
For dinner this evening, I made French Onion Soup and served it in the iron pots with homemade croutons and melted cheese. Salads accompanied the soup and were served on the new glass plates, chilled.
I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.
I will be linking to parties hosted by Rhoda, and Debbie.
La, You sure get around and find all sorts of goodies! Love all those serving pots- how fun to serve your onion soup in them. And that box of silverplate and pewter looks really interesting. Lots of pretties to decorate with! Hope you're staying cool. The temps have been somewhat lower but the humidity is still up there. I want fall!

I don't know how you find the time to do all that you do. The dinner sounded yummy :) Love the things you bought..
ReplyDeleteOh WOW!!! Looks like you brought home some awesome stuff! Ahhh I can’t even imagine what it would be like to have that kind of money. That was sweet that they left a portion to your community.
