Spring Dishes...for cheap!

If you have a Dollar Tree (sorry, I first posted Dollar General) store....perhaps like me you were fortunate enough to pop in and discover.... these amazing Royal Norfolk dishes there....yep $1.00 each!!



 To say the least I was so excited, I don't have many colorful dishes...and I have really wanted some solid colors to mix and match. These are just perfect! I bought 12 plates and 10 bowels and 6 place mats- used here as napkins instead.





cute salt and pepper shakers also found at a dollar store, total for twelve sets....$2.00
so yep, $28.00 for all.


I pulled out some metal colorful buckets and reusable green heavy plastic silverware, one of last years finds that cost only a couple dollars.



beautiful flowers from my daughter for Easter in a $1.00 vase




I love the Spring feel!

Shannon:

Your table is so bright and cheerful. I got a few of those plates but at a Dollar Tree, not Dollar General. We don't have Dollar Generals near us. If they have the sames stuff, maybe they're realated.

Hope to see you at Seasonal Sundays.

Your table is so nice and spring-like! I love those little s&p shakers, adorable!
