Am I Early, or Late? A Tuesday-Wednesday Post!

Here it is, nearly 8:00 . . . and that is P.M.
And I am just getting around to a post. Sometimes, life interferes.

On Monday I promised to reveal the dishes that Anne and I traveled down to Philadelphia to get; one of my Craigslist finds. I love these dishes. Anne loathes them.

You are free to voice your opinion: love 'em or leave 'em?

12 dinner plates, 12 saucers and 11 cups filled a big plastic bin:

One set.

And the whole clan, together, on my dining room table.

Now even Anne would have to admit that the colors (that red!) are great in our dining room.

No time today for a tablescape or a posed picture; maybe Thursday!

They are stylized Imari style china, from Mikasa.
The Shogun pattern, made between 1978 and 1987.

I paid $25.00 for all 35 pieces, plus the cost of gas to Philly!

Some more teases. See this?

There's a great Ebay story behind that knife, and 5 of its fellows.

And just when I thought there weren't any more good bargains
in old linens on Ebay, what did I find?

You'll have to come back on Thursday to find out!

I'm tagging along on two blog parties, grabbing the coattails just in time
for one from Tuesday, and hopping on early for a Wednesday one!

Tam at The Gypsy's Corner hosts Three Or More Tuesday. Visit!

And Sue at It's A Very Cherry World hosts ... what else? ... Wednesday is REDnesday! Visit!

S0 what do you think? The china? Keepers? Or do I list them on Ebay?
Or ... give them to Anne for her birthday! -- Cass
