These were really just a surprise to me. I almost overlooked them as the store was about to close in a few minutes and I was rushing through. Our Goodwill has started taping all of the plates of a same style together, so you can't always tell if they are chipped or in good shape. Loving the shape, I decided to buy the stack and at least use them for hanging, chipped or not. When unwrapped, I was pleasantly surprised that they are all free of chips and in good shape. I would have untaped them if they were something that was too expensive to gamble on or if I was specifically buying them to for eating instead of hanging. It annoys me that they tape them, though I'm sure it helps things stay together.
Also found the darling little creamer. There is no mark on the bottom, but it really looks like it could be a match to the plates.
As we were heading to the register, we saw this bench.
The fabric is hideous and honestly it grossed me out, though I don't know why it particularly bothered me any more than other things I've bought in the past.
Fun things for a quick trip just before closing. The bench was 15% off as they announced a "furniture sale" in the last 15 min. before closing.
Chloe found some adorable Polka-dotted rain boots originally from Target. She has wanted some and there is no way that I'm paying $30.00 for rain boots. This made both of us happy and adds another pair of plastic boots for trips to the swamp at my parents house.
Enjoy looking! I am heading over to participate in Leigh's Thrifty Thursdays at Tales from Bloggeritaville
and Holly's Thrift Store Thursdays at Homebody.
Don't miss out visiting all of the great links at both of these blogs and you might even want to join the party.

Now I've just blotted out of my mind what your thrifty finds were - - - but I'm SURE I LOVED them. Hehehehehehehe
That fabric would make me cringe too, but the bench has cool bones:)
Love the dishes!!!! The creamer is a perfect match. I haven't GW'd in awhile. :)
That is so cool that she found the rain boots. I want a pair too!
Can't wait to see what you do with the bench.
Pretty dishes! I used to have a creamer just like that. I bet you can turn that bench into something lovely!
Thanks for joining...I just realized that it looks like Mr Linky isn't working. Maybe that's why nobody linked up today!
I'll put your link in the post.
Oh, I heart those dishes ! I would have snapped them up too !

I too am a fan of the GW. You got a great buy on those white plates and you're right....the creamer looks to be a perfect match. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my post today. I appreciate the thoughtful comments.

Keetha is right-- your blog header is spectacular. I laughed at the fabric on the bench -- wow, that's some fugly stuff you got there but the good thing is -- off it will go, and something lovely will take its place.
Great white plates -- love the swirl!

Love the dishes. I love English stoneware and the white goes with anything!
I'm on a bench kick right now. At an auction last week I bought three. You can always redo a bench and it has so many uses indoors and out. Be sure to share when it gets a redo!
I love a good furniture sale! I think that's my downfall. Not sure I could have stopped at just the bench lol
I love love those plates and the creamer is perfect with them...and for the price you can't really go wrong! Yeah on the rain boots, ake a picture of those when they are in good use...they always come out sooo cute! Happy Friday~
You have got the love Goodwill.
Love the plates.

LOVE those white plates and that adorable creamer! I'm with you on that bench...fabric is icky, but the bones are good! Hooray for fun boots from Target too! No doubt you both left Goodwill with big smiles!
I can't wait to see the bench when you get done!
Love your white dishes, and I am with you, some things just gross me out more than others. What an unusual price for GW. Have a great weekend. Jackie
Gorgeous score on the white dishes! I know, what is up with those strange Goodwill prices. I never can figure them out! Neat benc too! It looks well made.

Looking forward to you working your magic with the bench. And I LOVE the fleur de lis umbrella stand below. Take a pic when you've got it up. : )
