FALL TABLE & YARDSALE FINDS

 
Have you ever gone yardsaling (yardsailing?) and hit the jackpot?  I finally did!  (As usual, I took the photos at night).
 
 


This is my most recent fall tablescape.  Our regular dishes are fall colors, and I usually use those for my fall table.... but I got super blessed this week.  I found these beautiful dishes at a yard sale.  They were asking $25 for them, but I talked them down five buckaroos and practically stole them for $20!

Don't cha just love this coffee pot with matching cream & sugar bowl.  And the salt & pepper shakers are just swoon worthy.


 "Myott"
Royal Mail 
 Fine
Staffordshire Ware
Made in England
(that's what is says on the back)
 
I call it brown/black transferware.
 
 
I researched this pattern on ebay and etsy, and it is  going for A LOT more than 20 bucks baby!  (Baby?  I must be really excited).
 
 
 
There are eight place settings which include 6 pieces.  Not a scratch, chip, or missing piece anywhere.
 
 
 Teacup & Saucer
 
 
There are also 2 large serving platters and 2 large serving bowls
 

 
 
Two small oval platters and a gravy boat
 
 
 
 
 
 
Eight dessert plates
 
 
A covered bowl
 
 
To round out my fall table there are many more yard sale finds.  
 
Brown tablecloth - $0.25
Lace tablecloth - $2.00
Oval cutting board - $1.00 
Courting candlesticks - $2.00
Hydrangeas - free (from my generous neighbor)

  4. Beautiful!!!! Your table is beautiful! I lucked up on the same dishes a couple of years ago at a yard sale for the same amount of money!!! I just love them, they take center stage in my kitchen! I did find a few more pieces on ebay and at that time the price was right, but now they are much higher in price.
