Wild Oats!

It is once again time to visit Between Naps On The Porch for Tablescape Thursday. Thank you, so much for hosting my favorite meme, Susan. I am sure you will want see other interesting tables, so click on the highlighted BNOTP and it will take you there.

To enlarge, just click on any picture.

I am so anxious for cooler weather, I decided to do a very, very, simple fall table this week.



The dishes were purchased at Goodwill. The dinner plates, salad plates and a matching platter were 99¢ each, the soup/cereal bowls, coffee mugs, cream/sugar were 49¢ each. There was only 1 salt shaker, so I left it on the shelf with the other 4 place settings, which was probably foolish of me. I am totally astonished at what I have found in thrift stores for mere pennies.



The dishes were made in England, by Midwinter, Ltd. 1977-1989. The pattern is Wild Oats-Stonehenge. I checked them out on Replacements, Ltd. and almost fell off my chair seeing what their asking price is for this pattern. According to their prices, I have well over $400 in the few pieces I have.

Here is a close up of the pattern.



The coffee cups, sugar and creamer will be used for the dessert course.





Thank you for taking the time to visit and comment on Tablescape Thursday posting, it is always appreciated. Hope to see you here next week, too.
