The weekend before I went to New York City to visit Andrea, I was by myself for a whole weekend and was wondering, what is a girl to do? There is no mall, Target, or Home Goods for more than 60 miles, so I hit my favorite consignment stores and resale shops! Sometimes you come up empty and sometimes you hit the jackpot.
Jackpot!!!
Just take a look at the beautiful rose dishes I got for only $15.00. There were 6 plates, 4 bowls, 5 teacups and saucers, a gravy boat and a covered casserole.
The pattern is Eggshell Nautilus Calarose made in the USA by Homer Laughlin China
The bread and butter plates I already had, they are Meito China, hand painted and made in Japan, unfortunately I do not know the name of the pattern.
The last of the hydrangeas and roses, aren't the colors amazing.
The one of the bowls has a "mistake", it is printed in the opposite direction from the other bowls. I love this, I think it adds to the charm of the dishes.
Company is coming, we are ready for dinner.
I just love beautiful dishes, do you have a favorite dish pattern?

Beautiful, Laura! The setting, dishes and colors bring back many happy memories. The two "birds" on the table really make it seem like home.
Those dishes are beautiful! You got a great deal! I recently bought a set for 8 of Rena-Ware Rose and Leaf china for a friend on craigslist for $35.00. My friend is thrilled with the set. It is very similar to your china. I love pink roses and your pink vase is stunning.
The dishes are very pretty! Your table setting is just lovely. All the "ingredients" work to make it a charming setting for a calm and serene meal.
I love roses and I would have bought them too! Beautiful!

These dishes remind me so much of my Grandmother's dishes. I gave them to my son several years ago. They ahd roses on them just like these and were made by Homer Laughlin. You got a GREAT deal! XO, Pinky
What a fantastic find! They are gorgeous! Although Fiesta is my favorite, I am getting hooked on Franciscan Desert Rose.
I've seen this china before, and I think it's one of the prettiest rose patterns out there! I so love that pale pink stripe! Lucky lady!
And they are Beautiful Dishes !!! Love them very pretty .. Have a great day !!
