Show & Tell Friday...New Dishes!

It's "Show & Tell" Friday!

Hello my friends...TGIF!!!

Yeeehawwww...it's Friday and that means it's time for "Show & Tell"!

I always loved "Show & Tell" time at school...didn't you? Do you remember hunting around your house all week for just the perfect item to take to school...so you could show all of your classmates? Ohhhh...I loved those days! But wait...this fun doesn't have to end there...we have a "Show & Tell" time just for us adults!!! Do you have something around your house that you would just love to show to your fellow bloggers? Then this is the perfect event for you!!!

"Show & Tell" Friday is hosted by Kelli over at There Is No Place Like Home! Why don't you go and see what Kelli has for "Show & Tell" today...and while you're there you can see what all the other participants have as well!!! Thank you Kelli for hosting this fun filled Friday event!!!

"Show & Tell"
My New Dishes
*
I have new dishes...Oh yea, Oh yea!!! Oh my goodness, I must admit that I'm a dishaholic and I just get so excited when I see a set of pretty dishes! Okay...come on and admit it...chances are...you are a dishaholic too!!! So I'm preachin' to the choir here...I just know it!!! Hehe!!!
JC Penneys recently came out with a brand new set of dishes called...."WATER". I fell in love with them the moment I laid eyes on them....and I really wanted them! Now in my defence...I must say that I didn't just jump in and buy them right then and there. I did wait...considered the price...and the fact that I really didn't need another set of dishes...
*
but then....they went on sale!!!
*
Oh yea...it's a sale!!! Not only did they go on sale but because I'm a frequent Penney's shopper, I had a coupon for 20% off of all my purchases!!!
*
So now I'm looking at this set of dishes that were "love at first sight"...they were on sale...and I had a 20% off discount coupon!!! How could I NOT buy them??? Seriously!!!
*
Sooooo...I DID!!! Hehe!!!
*
Here they are....they are called "WATER"!


As you can see...they are stacked up. Why you ask? Because I'm such a tease and I don't want to fully reveal the beauty of these pretty dishes quite yet! I have plans to do a coastal tablescape for "Tablescape Thursday"....so you'll just have to stay tuned...wink!!!



Oooh...just look at these pretty dishes! The dinner plates have a heavily embossed border of different kinds of seashells. Oooh...I just love them!!!




The salad plates are also embossed...seashells, starfish, and crabs...OH MY!!!



I just love the shell shaped bowls!!!
*
And...if you look real close in the first photo (on the right)...you will see little shell shaped canape plates.
*
This set of dishes includes a four piece placesetting for four:
4 dinner plates
4 salad/dessert plates
4 canape plates
4 bowls
*
Now for the "good" part....
They originally sell for $162.00...I paid only $59.60!!!
Oh yea...Oh yea...I'm doin' the Happy Dance!!! Hehe!!!
*
Well my friends...thank you so much for letting me "Show & Tell" my new set of dishes! Stay tuned for...a sometime in the future...tablescape! I hope you have enjoyed my new dishes as much as I have! Please leave me a comment and let me know that you were here...I love visiting with you!!!
*
Happy "Show & Tell" Friday!!!
Love ya'll,
Chari

  13. Hmmmmmm your lovely shell dishes mnake me think of some "bone" dishes and platter that I've not shown on my blog yet - - - maybe I will one 'o these days.

    YES - - - I'm already trying to decide which post to RERUN on Sunday. I'm having sooooooo much fun with your rerun idea!!!!

  14. You won't believe this. But just about an hour ago I was on the JC Penney website looking at DISHES! Yes, I've fallen in love with them as well. Wonder if it has to do with Thursday Tablescapes, which I've just started contributing to? And tablecloths. I've been looking on eBay at them too! I'm looking for those dishes of yours. I just received an email from Penneys for some percentage off a certain amount. And I want to use it!

  15. Can't wait to see the latest tablescape with the new dishes! Have a great Sunday - sorry you can't be with your Mother and daughters. My Mother-in-law is 95 next week, so we will be spending the day with her and Bob's sisters (a 200 mile round trip). So, I won't get to see my own kids on Sunday. Mike is busy finishing up the school year, so probably wouldn't be coming down anyway. Our daughter and the grandkids will probably pop in tomorrow for a minute. I see them practically every day!! Take care, Sally

  16. Chari, I cannot wait to see the wonderful sea shell tablescape you are going to create with these beauties! What a deal you got on them. You're so right. There's just no way you could pass up a deal like that! Have a wonderful weekend. laurie

  17. What a fantastic deal. I love all the embossed seashells.
    I also liked your chargers. I've been hunting for lace-cut chargers like Susan's. I've seen them at Horchow...for $150, yikes!
    I'm going to be checking JC Pennys out. I know how addicting dishes can be. My credit card has been left with smoldering skid marks from my dishware purchases,LOL!

    I hope you can come see my Mothers Day gift ideas.
    Sweet wishes,
    Sara

  22. Simply lovely, Chandi. I am a dishaholic myself! ;) But I think it's a good kind of addiction... ;)

  23. oh my Chari, im not a dishaholic yet but after seeing your beautiful new dishes you could easily turn me into one, and girl i must have those pears too, might i be nosey and ask where you got them. I know i will be disappointed because im in Canada and i know you are going to say a store we dont have here. As for jcpenny, we dont have one but i love that store and have ordered a few things from there. I can hardly wait to see your table all dressed up with your new dishes.

  30. Bargains are always lots of fun but when it's for something you love to collect makes it extra special.
    Enjoy using your new dishes.
