SCORED! (I think)

There are 3 versions of the Blue Onion pattern of dishes. There
is Blue Heritage by Wedgewood, Classic by Johnson, and the Blue
Onion. A few years ago I got a set of Classic at an Estate Sale
- service for 8 for $20. Did not need them, had to figure out
where to put them, but it was too good to pass up - they were
pretty (at the time I had no knowledge that they were special).
The man who was helping clean out the estate house found dessert
plates, 2 dinner plates, and 3 platters and gave them to me -
they were Wedgewood Blue Heritage.
Today during the Woman's Club Rummage I was on the "lunch run"
when I got a text. thinking it may be one of the ladies changing
her order and I was stopped at a traffic light, I checked it. He
was texting that a mutual friend had a set of Blue Onion at her
sale - cheap - and she would bring it to me if I wanted it. I
immediately did a detour - 7 dinner plates, 8 luncheon plates. 8
bowls, 1 serving bowl, 1 platter, 8 saucers, 4 coffee cups and 1
tea cup for $25. The I think is I had an interesting time moving
things around to make room for them. BUT I did it!
AND not only did both rooms arrive at almost the same time, BOTH
want breakfast at 9! SAME TIME!! Woohoo!

Sounds like a score to me, of course I like dishes and
glassware.

Not quite that bad. IF they had not been Blue Onion, I would
have left them. The next time I hear of a family that "lost
everything", in addition to towels & maybe a set of sheets, they
will be getting a set of dishes.
