Goodwill Tableware

All three pieces of today's table setting were found on separateoccassions at local Goodwill stores in town.

I picked up the blue salad plates first just because theywere so versatile. Next, I found the cute chicken soup bowls. I think the little side handles make them unique and what I like most about them.

Last week I found the gold dinner plates which were a perfect matchand completed the set. The blue goblets were found last summerat a yard sale.

It's amazing what a cute table you can set on a budget with Goodwill finds. Maybe not exactly a spring tablescape, but cheerful just the same.Perfect setting for some home-made chicken soup.Sorry for the poor quality pictures, it was getting ready to stormhere and the lighting was not so good.
