Fabulous First Find For Friday!

I think I've struck lucky with my first charity shop find of 2012. 



Its this beautiful, square pink, English bone china plate made by Tuscan.



Love the beautiful gold design around the outside.


Wonderful floral pattern in the centre.


Perfect as a cake plate when I'm serving tea from my beautiful crinoline lady pink tea pot.


Looking forward to seeing all the other thrifty goodness over at Diann's - Thrifty Things Friday.  Many thanks to Diann for featuring last week's Bluebird of Happiness milk jug on her blog - The Thrifty Groove - please go over and have a look.


Love, Liz

Right that's it I'm coming up your way charity shopping tomorrow. I desperately need to find some nice teacups for my pincushions and the charity shops round here have absolutely NOTHING!!

What a lovely find, great to find something so pretty in a charity shop. It seems it's getting harder to find anything good in them at the moment.

Wow,what a find! My CS is sadly lacking in the vintage department right now,although maybe that's a good thing as I don't have room for any more treasures! :0)

Lovely lovely plate.

There should be a bloggy Hall of Fame for our fabby finds. Somewhere all the brilliant and lucky finds can be shown off.
