If dishes aren't your thing, you might want to skip today's post. However, if you drool over Pioneer Woman's Jadeite, this might get your heart pumping.

I chose the Royal China Star Glow pattern for a few reasons:
1. It was a pattern I knew.
(My Mom had one of the chop plates - probably from a promotion at "The Jewel.")
2. It had a holiday feel to me, but it could still be used all winter long.
3. It was authentically vintage.
4. my Goodwill store had the plates for $1.99 each.
So, since that day in November - when I picked up 12, yes 12...never know when you might need to feed an army - I've been patiently waiting for the best deals on eBay.
And, I've scored!
To date I have:
12 dinner plates
4 soup bowls
4 sauce/berry bowls
6 dessert/bread plates
4 cups and saucers
salt and pepper shakers
creamer, (no sugar bowl yet.)
So, other than a sugar bowl - no hurry for that - I'm done.
And, the best part?
INCLUDING shipping, I've paid on average $2-3 per piece.
Yea!
(That doesn't include the 4 soup bowls which were a pretty penny...but it's been my experience that over the last 3 months soup bowls have been sold on eBay exactly ZERO times. I bought them through another site and I'm waiting for them to arrive as we speak.)
I'm a happy camper.
