The thrift store was calling to me yesterday.
Sometimes I find nothing & then sometimes I find so many things
I think I shouldn’t have stopped
But I stopped.
Mainly because I am looking for more white pieces for the second bookshelf.
Yes,
more white dishes… I am insane.
The good?
It was half price day.
The bad?
It was half price day
so I found a lot of treasures & justified that at 50% off they needed to come home with me.
The ugly?
The check out line that seemed to wind all the way through to the back of the store
Actually, there really was nothing but pretties with this shopping trip
I found some fantastic pieces and even a couple of white dishes
(YES!!)
I think the best treasures of the day were these absolutely gorgeous
I- just- about- knocked- over- 3- ladies- and- climbed-up-and-over-the-counter-to-grab-them
sweet, dainty, delicate teacups & saucers.
I love them so much,
I just might have to start a new collection.

Their raised pattern…
love love love.
oh… and their dainty saucers.
There were 6 teacups and 6 saucers all together
*sigh*
hmm…
I wonder just where these pretty white dishes will go.

Sigh…. I just drooled all over my laptop. They are beautiful! You made quite the scoop there. Stayed home today , now I am thinking I should have ventured out.
Enjoy your new find 🙂
Cheers, Gee
You always find a place for things you love.
Just gorgeous. It would have almost been okay to have even knocked the ladies over (by accident) for these. They are wonderful. I love everything about them.

Spode? did i really read that correctly? oh be still my beating heart they are simply stunning!
Sometimes when I see something as lovely as your tea cups I have to contain myself and act very cool while barely able to breathe until I reach the treasures! So, I truly understand knocking a few ladies down! LOL!
they are so very pretty and dainty.

I love the little white cups and saucers. Such a dainty design! I have always been attracted by white. This might just make me check out my nearest thrift store soon!
Betty
Courtney, these are gorgeous! Love the raised pattern! Spode? You really scored!
Courtney, I love those and your photos are fabulous. Do you have a new camera??
Thanks Kim- Not a new camera- it's my Canon Rebel, I am just learning more how to play with the settings and shooting in manual mode- it makes a huge difference in how the photos come out.
I've been in manual the whole time, but still learning more all the time. I love the shot where the acorns are blurred.
the teacups are truly lovely and to find six of them is so unusual in a thrift store! Great score! ~ Maureen
Hi Courtney, I would have grabbed these too. They are so pretty!
The teacups/saucers are absolutely gorgeous…what a lovely find, lucky you…i will have to check my thrift stores more often 🙂 suek
Hi Courtney! Your white teacups are absolutely beautiful and I completely understand how they captivated you!! I love white dishes too!
Sooooo pretty Courtney! Your pictures are stunning!!
They are indeed beautiful! I just love the thrill of a good thrift store hunt 🙂
Well….if you can't find a place for those pretty cups and saucers, let me know. I know they'd look quite nice at a place called Heaven's Walk. lol!
xoxo laurie
I love these pretty little cups Courtney…and your beautiful pics of them!
Beautiful find! They almost look like a lace pattern. Very pretty! Your photography is so beautiful. Have a blessed week!
I love those teacups–and this is some of your best photography yet! Very pretty post!
Courtney, I love, love, love that delicate raised design too! Such beautiful cups and saucers and 50% off? Can't beat that! I love white dishes more and more every time I see them and have been picking up a few pieces here and there as well. I also like black and white. Lucky you! Sounds like a great thrift shop visit! Hugs, Leena
Hi Courtney,
Your new dishes are gorgeous! Love the pattern.

So very pretty courtney
LOVE this!!! Those acorns are HUGE! I love the texture of the cups and with the acorns and pumpkins, yum! And what pretty flowers!
Your cups and saucers are so pretty!! I bet they feel nice too, with that raised pattern. There are great finds at thrift stores!! Thanks for sharing! ms
Beautiful find, Courtney! I absolutely love these! The raised pattern and the little scallop on the edge is just beautiful.
Okie dokie that's it…I'm coming over to shop with you, LOL!! Great finds….

Janet
Ok I want to go to your thrift store! God is good to you. I always thank Him for my great finds!
I loved your post so much I read it to my hubs, haha!
I spent all day yesterday with my best gal pals hitting all their GW for half price day and filled my Mini Cooper to the brim with wonderful finds too – and I would have SO squealed out loud had I found those teacups!!!
Congrats, they are awesome. I totally ♥ them!!!
Covet them, even! Lucky lady!!!!!!
Oh those are just lovely! What a wonderful find! lin
Lucky you to score a great find! When you see something you like you must get it otherwise you will regret it!
Oh, I love those. So lacy and feminine! And for some reason, I love dishes that are a solid color, which is funny because both my sets are so colorful. Sometimes I confuse myself! :-/ LOL
Really beautiful Courtney!
How I love Spode!
Catherine
When I first looked at your photos, I just couldn't believe it…..Spode's "Jewel" is my china pattern! I was given 12 place settings as a wedding gift a million years ago and have never been able to find any additional pieces as it's been discontinued for so long. I adore my china….every piece is like a doily frozen in time. So glad for your incredible find!
Marty, after seeing Courtney's incredibly beautiful cups and saucers, I immediately checked ebay. They have quite a few pieces, although not as reasonable as you might find in a thrift store, with the key word being "might."
What a fantastic discovery!! Those are some of the most beautiful Spode I have ever seen. So glad the thrift store pulled you in on that day. Great find.
Judy
Courtney I am especially loving those tea cups with all the roses and little acorns in them! Beautiful find!
So pretty. Love your photography.
those are really beautiful! I'd have knocked people out of the way to get to them too!
Simply beautiful…
Blessings Lori ~
Courtney,
These are soooo very pretty, and 50% off…how could you leave them there?
Blessings,
Linda
I think it was worth knocking the old ladies down and trampling any opposition that got in the way of these beauties. Great buy, Maureen
If I live to be 100 I will not find anything that pretty here in a thrift store…love them!!!! x0
Oh my goodness I just adore the pretty raised pattern on your new cups and saucers!!
Ah, they are perfect! There's no better way to start a Monday morning (we're a bit ahead of time in France!) than a cup of tea and eyeing pretty teacups!
Oh gosh, I'm ever so envious (in a good way!) of those beautiful dainty white cups and saucers! Have a great week! Sharon
Just beautiful!
I am glad you listened to the Thrift Store calling you. These are the prettiest teacups I have ever seen, six seems like the perfect number.
*Smiles*
A lovely cup and saucer.
I have one piece of Spode which was my grandmothers I have looked at this bowl all my life and only this year turned it over and saw it was made by Spode.
You have a great find.
Denise
They are beautiful!!!
Carolyn
So pretty! I think all of us like white dishes…
What a fantastic find Courtney! I love them too. So delicate. You can't go wrong with white dishes. They mix so well together 🙂
These are just beautiful…love all the detail.
I inherited these from my grandmother 🙂 I have 4 place settings. Also! I found there is a similar set with a rose in the center that I got off Ebay to mix in, also Spode.
I LOVE the way you have photographed these with acorns and roses…genius!
What a fantastic find, I would have been fighting you for those! Can't believe you found 6 sets either…way to go.
Lynnie
Love the blog and the tea cups are lovely… lucky find, 6 cups with saucers!

Hi Courtney,
I found some of these, too, last summer and I must say they are among my most treasured dishware!
LOVE your photos.
