When I saw Louana's post about her Fiesta saucer and how she'd thrifted it and then made like, 50 million percent by selling it online, I realised I had snaffled a Fiesta dinner plate...for free!
In fact, I haven't spent more than $5 on all of the Crown Lynn plates I've found. *
I love these dinner plates, they stack so beautifully and aren't bulky at all. And it's kind of become a "thing" that I haven't had one single double-up!
Do you look out for them to sell?
Or keep?
Or neither?!
*We paid $10 for the set of 6 cups and saucers shown in the last picture, which also came with 6 side plates.
I love mismatched too! And I'm far too lazy to sell thrifted finds, though I sometimes think about it (in the poorer moments). I'm a bit in love with those fiesta plates now, thanks guys! Will keep an eye out, though I rarely let myself opshop these days...
ReplyDeleteDee I LOVEEEEEEe Crown Lynn. Have posted about them before and am doing another big one tomorrow. I never sell mine. I hoard them. Love the Fiesta plate. xo
ReplyDeleteLove the mismatched CRown Lynn... they are so nice and chunky and EXACTLY the same size that it really makes it easy to have an eclectic thing going on.. You could sell the fiesta one if you want to make some money!!! DO IT!! Let us know how many buckeroos ya get!
ReplyDeleteThey all look so nice together - good hunting!
I've got a sunflower version of the one in the third photo, bottom right. I was going to hang it on the wall I love it so much. We'll have to get together with our almost matching plates for a piece of cake very soon. Lovely finds. The fiesta one is nice too. Cx
ReplyDeleteoh.my.... wow you have found some amazing treasures!!!! so cool!
ReplyDeleteawesome finds, mostly I keep my crown lynn finds :) there are so many to collect. I'm really trying to find some from the set we had as kids (of which there are none left) the pattern is Nova, but I'm yet to find any!
ReplyDeleteI have found a few lovely patterend Crown Lynn here in Oz. They are haphazardly displayed on my lounge room wall. LOVE!
ReplyDeleteWe're a mismatched dinnerware family, too! And Crown Lynn hoarders, too : )
ReplyDeleteI adore Crown Lynn and have quite a few pieces now - although none of them the same designs as the ones you have in this blog post! I love mismatched pieces and we eat off our Crown Lynn plates every day. The only ones we don't use daily are the colour glaze ones, after I lost one too many with my son taking them out of the dishwasher to put them away. I am always on the lookout for them from Op shops, but there aren't many to find these days in our well picked over Wellington stores.
ReplyDeleteWe've had mismatched plates forever - since I started flatting. Now I'm trying to slowly replace and improve our plates. About a year ago I started hand washing instead of using the dishwasher so am trying to get back to all nice plates rather than our collection of ones worn by the dishwasher.
ReplyDeleteI simply want to give a huge thumbs up for the great info you have got here on this post. I will be coming back to your blog for extra soon.
