My Latest Thrifty Treasure Find
*
"Brookshire" by Johnson Bros. England 1883.
*
Ohhh yea...more new dishes!
*
Some of you may remember about a sleepless night that I was having a few weeks ago. Since I couldn't sleep I started checking out the online "after Christmas" sales. Dillards was having a fabulous sale...a real dish lovers dream!!! I purchased two sets of these "Brookshire" dishes manufactured by Johnson Bros. for....are you ready???
*
...for just $12 a set!!!
They were originally $99.99. Yes...you heard me right...just $12!!! And...there was free shipping! Ohhh boy...was I doin' my "happy dance"! Hehe!
*
*
Each set has a 7 piece place setting for four!
For just $12 (or a total 0f $24 for 2 sets) this is what I got:
*
8 - dinner plates
8 - salad/dessert plates
8 - appetizer plates
8 - fruit/cereal bowls
8 - lg. rimmed soup bowls
8 - cups
8 - saucers
*
Ohhh my gosh, that's a seven piece place setting for eight people! I just couldn't believe my good fortune!!!
*
*
Just playing around...I thought they would like nice with my rattan mats.
*
These dishes are really pretty and are of a very good quality...of course, they are made my Johnson Bros.! They are dishwasher safe, microwavable, and freezer proof...can't beat that!
*
*
A place setting using the dinner plate, salad/dessert plate, appetizer plate, and the rimmed soup bowl.
*
This set of dishes have a beautiful cream colored background with a dark hunter green band around the scalloped edges.
*
and...just look at all of those beautiful birds!!!
*
*
There are several different types of birds! There are pheasants, ducks, geese, grouse, chickens, and feathers! Ohhh...I just love them!!!
*
*
A few of the beautiful birds. My favorite is the pheasant!
*
*
I think that the "Brookshire" dishes will make a fabulous Autumn table or maybe even a "hunt" table! I'm anxious to play with them...that's for sure! Hehe!
*
SALE ALERT!!!
*
I just went to Dillards online earlier today and found that these dishes are still on sale. When I found them, Dillards was doing a 50% off of the sale price so I got them for $12/set. However, they are still marked down to just $20.99 a set...great deal!

Super deal on those great dishes...couldn't even get them that inexpensively at a thrift store!
ReplyDeleteYour dishes are just perfect, Chari....and what a bargain price!!! I guess there is something to be said about not being able to sleep one night...LOL!
ReplyDeleteFantastic finds...and what a bargain!!
ReplyDeleteMy show n tell is all about Valentine stuff this week.

Those are so pretty and what a deal!!
ReplyDeleteOh Chari, you sure get the best deals. I bought 2 sets of this too (Still sitting in boxes in the garage) but I sure paid a lot more than that. And I love them. I just opened the box to take a peak at how the plate looks like and then I stored them in the garage walk in closet, which is my new dish storage area now. I think I will use them for next Thanksgiving. Aren't they pretty?...Christine
