Last week-end while estate shopping I came across these vintage Johnson Brothers dishes.
Today I took them out of the box to take a closer look.
There were about ten plates, a soup tureen, and a platter. They were asking $22.00 for all of it.
I was going back and forth, was it worth $22.00?
I walked away, debating whether I should or shouldn't, you know, we've all been there.
Pretty soon my #1 came upstairs from the basement carrying a white dish. He said, "Deb, you said you like white dishes, you've got to come down stairs and see what's in the pantry".
It was a bunch of the same Johnson Brothers Plates. "Wow, that sealed the deal, I'll take them!"
They didn't even change the price. They gave me everything for $22.00!
Yippee!
Besides being chauffeur for the day, I was able to finish up a few projects.
I was able to put together some Easter packages for the shop as well as finishing up a couple of pincushions.
Doesn't it feel good to get unfinished projects done?
I love Spring Break!
