Old Country Roses, Bubble Wrap and Thrifting Finds!!

Good Evening Bloggers.
I did get to do some yard saleing and thrifting this weekend. My hubby was not to pleased about it , after all we are moving and trying get rid of stuff. But he got over it and told me what I got was really nice.
I thought I would share my Old Country Rose utensils that go with my China set. I just love the Old Country Rose pattern. My daughter has already instructed me to will it to her when I die. LOL
I have been really busy with the move, but we finally with an exception of a few odds and ends we are packed!! I am really feeling it, with working and then coming home and packing in the evenings. These old bones can hardly take it!! LOL
I hope every one is had a good week and hope the week goes even better for you!!


This is my Old Country Roses Dinnerware set by Royal Albert. I also have a whole set of the china!! I have a few accessories but not many. I am going to start collecting those once we get moved!! I had bought the china when it was on sale. I came home from work one day and my hubby had a package for me. It was the utensils!! I did not even ask for them!







I love it because the utensils are gold!!




Who would of thunk it!! Pink bubble wrap!! I found it at Walmart!!







This scrapbook/photo album was a yard sale find for a 1.00. It was never used. I may have posted this before. I hope not. I found it several months ago. I ran across it when I was packing for the move.







Of course I could not pass up this little rose teacup and saucer. 1.91 at Good Will.






I found this Little BOY figurine at Goodwill for a 1.91. He matches a collection of blue and white figurines I already have. I have posted the pictures of those in earlier post.







I love the Roses on this address book. It was another Goodwill find!! I love the Romantic Shabby Chic looking address books, journals etc!! 1.91.







This pillow sham was a Good Will find!! I love the roses in it.






This is an FTLD vase. I like it , it matches my decor in my living room. It was only a dollar!!







I will proably give this to my daughter. It was 50 cents at yard sale. It is brand new,never out of the package!! It looks like something my daughter might like.

  12. I've always loved gold flatward just because it's so unusual. How nice it was for your husband to buy it for you! I'm sure it's extra special to you since it was a surprise from him. Hope you have a great weekend.
