I love the Devon Cottage dishes you got. They go beautifully with the blue transferware and bring an updated look to it. A few years ago I found a complete and unused set of brown Daily Mail, transferware at a yard sale. It was a service for 8 with every extra serving piece you could think of. I paid $25 for it. Sadly, it sat in a box in the garage for years because I just have too many dishes. I finally sold it to a sweet young gal from my church who had started collecting the same set piece by piece. She was thrilled to get it for a great price, and I was thrilled to donate the money she paid to one of my favorite charities (and that actually made it easier for me to part with it). <br />Warmly, GloriaThe Long Awaited Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16304176137874621901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-14489120812161403502017-03-06T18:37:29.120-05:002017-03-06T18:37:29.120-05:00O, what gorgeous dishes...I would have bought them...O, what gorgeous dishes...I would have bought them, too.I haven't been to our local HG's store in awhile...but have it on my list when I am able to get away from the house.<br />We received your sweet card today...thank you so much, Kathy. bj https://www.blogger.com/profile/09327534885194207074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-92018221921405356702017-03-02T19:40:23.022-05:002017-03-02T19:40:23.022-05:00They are beautiful and I saw them at my local stor...They are beautiful and I saw them at my local store and was very tempted to buy them too!

Add that, Hall China plus all the other china I pick up because I can't resist and I'd say we share a great passion in common. You will love having those wonderful new plates!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-29939680162717757992017-03-02T09:09:44.560-05:002017-03-02T09:09:44.560-05:00I have that same set of Johnson Bros Old British C...I have that same set of Johnson Bros Old British Castles.

Of course, now I have my dear, little mother's entire wonderful cottage home to disband and I'm having a hard time not packing it all up and transporting it all to my home. I love your new plates. What a joy to serve meals on those beauties! And that grill - oh, my!

That would start the animal activists jumping!!<br /><br />Those dishes are gorgeous---you have a very sweet daughter (well, both of them)! I would have swooped up the dishes you did, too. I am so loving blue lately...more in peices of my decor. I guess blues and grays are the only 'colors' in my life other than white, cream and beige! lol<br /><br />I'm doing pretty good with the purging. Funny how something that thrilled you 5 years ago means nothing now. That's a result of not thinking purchases through and why being frugal is so very savvy.<br /><br />Let's pray for spring to come soon...I have cabin fever! ;-D<br /><br />Jane xBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-1868549215807796272017-03-01T20:21:39.400-05:002017-03-01T20:21:39.400-05:00You absolutely positively needed those dishes and ...You absolutely positively needed those dishes and I'm glad you bought them!

I actually bought some last March but they immediately started chipping so I took them back.

Those dishes are wonderful and they are an excellent complement to the ones your daughter gave you. I also have some enablers among my shopping companions, though I am more likely to be the enabler. Fun post! May you find all the plates you need.
