Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! Yard sale season is here and oh, how I love a good yard sale! It was a rainy day and truth be told, if it wasn't for a prescheduled appointment, I probably would have stayed indoors but I'm so glad I was out and saw this sale! Today's features are French farmhouse style and all from the same yard sale...

It was the perfect yard sale for a professed dishaholic like me and everything was priced to sell! First, is this large round Federalist ironstone platter. I don't come across ironstone as often as other dishware, so I was happy to find it. It's over 12" in diameter and has the typical crazing which I don't mind a bit. It's such a versatile piece--I can see it used tray style for a charming vignette or on an easel displayed on its own.

Next, a mismatched pair of salt and pepper shakers that I'll repurpose soon.

This lovely piece is handmade with the artisan's name, Estil and the date, '57 hand marked on the bottom. I adore the ornate edging.

I love this delicate floral Limoges bowl and it's right at home in my collection.

MY HEARTFELT THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING FOR FEATURING THIS POST:
Oh pretty and cheap! Nice. Hm, I have a floral bowl similar to that one. I'll have to look at the mark on the bottom. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteFabulous finds and a very thrifty price!
ReplyDeleteI love the hand made piece that reminds me of my grandmother. Love love the pretty purple Limoges bowl!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you and I bought similar stuff this week. Being a self-described "dishaholic" can you tell me how the market for Buffalo China is? I acquired quite a bit of it this past weekend and I have no idea if it's worth trying to sell!
ReplyDeleteAww, now I wish I had gotten out today. I stayed in. Bummer. I like what YOU got! Score! All great finds. What will you do with the S&P's??
ReplyDeleteI am loving the beautiful plates that you found.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely finds, Cecelia...those prices are why I love to shop yard sales!
ReplyDeleteIt's still a bit nippy in the midwest for yard sales, but soon I hope! You know I love ironstone and I would have grabbed that plate! My mother's china was Haviland and I loved it (my older sister got it, oh well:)) Have a greatweekend! xo Kathleen Our Hopeful Home
ReplyDeleteOnly $4? Wow! Those are some good finds!! I'm not sure if I have the patience for going to yard sale or thrift stores in search of treasure.
ReplyDeleteI just took my doggy to the vet and saw a yard sale sign but didn't think she would be a good shopper. So I had to pass it up. So the yard sale season is on here in GA too. Yea!
ReplyDeleteWOW! What great finds at such a wonderful price. I always love finding a ironstone piece and love the crazing on them.
ReplyDeleteJudy
What great finds!! Love that platter!
ReplyDeleteLove the Limoges floral bowl. Glad you are getting out to garage sales. There were two sales sales on a street that I like to go to, but believe it or not, I just had to pass them by. Thanks for sharing your finds.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Audrey Z.
oops ... two garage sales !!!!!!!!!
DeleteI am so impressed with the prices in your area...so much for so little! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the dishes you found. So pretty! Yard sale season is still a couple of months away here, but I'm looking forward to it. We just got 6 inches of snow last night, and it's still snowing.
ReplyDeleteThose are great finds. I'm curious to see what you are going to do with the salt and pepper shakers. I've seen some cute things done with those.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pieces!! Thanks so much for stopping by!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Debbie
Now waiting to see what you do with the shakers!
