Junkin Finds...

I am late to the party, the Junkin Finds Friday that Linda at A La Carte hosts each week. One of these weeks I may be on time! Thanks for hosting, Linda.

I stopped into TJMaxx yesterday and found 4 really pretty dinner plates on sale. I had looked at them awhile back but couldn't justify paying $5 each when the thrift store was full of plates begging to be bought for a tenth of the price, so I passed them up. There were just 4 of them at $1 each, so I snatched them up. They are a dark brown, almost black with reds, oranges, yellows and greens. I am sure you will see them in a future tablescape.


I also stopped at Goodwill and found a few things, but they will have to wait until next week...

Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog, it is appreciated.

I like you blues at your tablescape post, very pretty.
I lived in Overland Park, KS back in the early 50's. Used to be a nice root beer stand there. Then we moved away to the NE. I remember a tornado came down our street, didn't hit our house, we were lucky. Mel's Cabin visited you.
