Royal Falcon Ware, five plates - smaller than mains, entree size maybe - for $10. Made in England, cira 1930-50s I think.
I understand I could have gone to Target and done more with my dollars. But I like the sense of recycling someone's treasures.

I like the wee step back in history too. And to be honest I just love the motif - the black outline flowers with two shades of green, yellow and the touch of orange red in the centre of the flowers.
The size is perfect for our dinner portions too.
These plates give me a mild sense of occasion which I enjoy. Reminds me of Sunday lunch at my nana's place.
So I think it is a win-win. I have lovely plates that work for us, at $2.00 a pop that has to be a frugal amount for the sense of joy they bring me. Money well spent yes.
Anyone else own any Falcon Ware, or hand me down china ... if so lucky you :) Le

I doubt very much if you could get 5 pretty plates for $10 at Target!
I found some neat little cups a couple years ago at a thrift store- tiny little things and old. They say "Poole, England" on the bottom. They're Poole pottery I've gathered! I couldn't pass up China that old from the UK
Hey, I just found out someone is making the red velvet cake at the Thanksgiving I'm attending. Hooray!
I am bringing some broiled avocado covered in onion and garlic and bacon thing I invented whilst drunk.
VINTAGE rules!
Excellent purchase(s)!

I have hand-me-down demi-tasse coffee cups and my grandmother has given me her medium-good dinner service. I get all the bits she's not using. She now just has one setting left that she uses everyday and she said if I can get her an alternative she'll pass on the last setting... I love the hand-me-downs.
excellent
