So my husband looking in the cupboard asked 'are we acquiring a random selection of dinner plates now....'.
Yes was the only answer. Who could say no to these two beauties and under a pound each. Not me that's for sure!
Isn't the first one quite 'Biba' esque?
Top one is 'Westbury Denbyware' and the bottom one is 'Kilncraft'.
Great finds and a bargain too. I like a little randomness! x
ReplyDeleteThanks Caroline- I think a few mix and match is cool too! Hope your week is going well, Jxx
DeleteLove them! Why have one pattern when you can have loads? Matching is very over-rated! x
ReplyDeleteMe too Rachel- I will continue the hunt! My old set of 'sort of' matching Kiln Craft have not survived the dishwasher very well and I could do with a few extras! Hope all well with you, Jxx
DeleteThat bottom one! Love! x
ReplyDeleteOh yes the colours are lovely aren't they. That one came from a charity shop in Kircudbright from my recent hols!Thanks you for commenting, Jxx
DeleteOh, that first plate!!! Be still my beating heart. My parents had that entire dinner service, it was their wedding present when they married in 1975. They no longer have it, and gave it away years ago before I could get my sticky mitts on it! That plate takes me right back to my suburban childhood.
ReplyDeleteAnd there is nothing wrong with a random selection of plates. :-)
Oh Gillian I am glad it reminded you of your folks plates- Mine had the nice but much less groovy Hornsea Saffron. This would have been amazing as a dinner set, I am off to google it and see what the rest looked like. Thanks for letting me know that. I love it the best- what are my chances on finding more!! Hope you are good this week, Jxx
DeleteThey are lovely! Also, plates are useful!
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa-Marie- hope all well with your move- off to read your post in a minute. Yes plates- you can't go wrong! Jo xx
DeleteLove the bottom one, I've never seen one with that pink in it before!
ReplyDeleteHi there- yes the colours are really unusual and pretty. You could hang them they are such fab designs! I am on the hunt so will see what else I can find. Lone plates are so often in the charity shops- off isn't it! Hope all good with you, Jxx
Deleteooh, really like that 1st one! Btw, I'm nominated you for a wee award. I know it's not for everyone so no worries if you don't want to play along.

Oh thank you Col- that's really lovely of you. I appreciate it very much- I will do it of course- I just need to find a wee window to get it done! Hope all well with you, Jo xx
