Homer Laughlin is the maker of Fiesta dinner ware; the restaurant quality dishes that are my favorite. My hubby knew how badly I wanted them and got me a wonderful set for our family of 7, about 17 Christmases ago. They are pink, yellow, turquoise, purple, mint green, cobalt blue and another blue and persimmon. In 17 years of hard-core use; I have broken 2 pieces on our tiled kitchen floor. Oh, they have been dropped a lot. It, thankfully, takes a lot to break them!
I happened upon a Salvation Army thrift store in a town I don’t normally get to. Of course I had to check it out and I was so glad that I did. I found these heavy plates with the sweetest pink and green flower design with vines and swirls. I flipped them over; I always flip things over to see what it says underneath, and this is what it said:
I guess I should mention that the 6 plates @ .30 each are happily at home with me. :)
I have been busy making my gift items for the Holidays and have made extra to share with the readers.
I have 3 French Lavender Sachets in beaded organza bags.
Please leave a comment,follow or sign up to follow,and/or mention this giveaway on your blog for 1 chance each or 5 chances if you do all 3. Thanks everyone and good luck! This is such fun :D

Your little dishes are a great find. I have some HL pieces that I found at a thrift store. It has pretty pink flowers, kind of like dogwood & a gold trim on the rims. I use it and love it!
Happy pinks!! xo Tami
Hi Cindy,
Happy Pink Saturday. I'm so glad I stopped in today. Lavender and Roses are my all time favorite scent, especially when mixed together.
I love your Homer Laughlin plates. I never seen them in that beautiful design before. What a great find. I'm sure you will have them for a long time to come.
Have a wonderful day.

Happy Pink Saturday to you. It's always fun to find some little treasure when thrifting.
I love the pinks you found to share with us today. I hope you are having a wonderful Pink Saturday.
I so need to start on gifts, also. I have been glued to the computer stocking my store.
To answer your question about dipping stars in wax, it lends a glow, sometimes translucent color to the stars. The ones I have shown today are not dipped because wax always deepens the color. This same star dipped in wax becomes almost a hot pink. If you go back to my blog and then follow the link to my etsy store you will see ones I have dipped. The gold and yellow are just wonderful! Oh, and the red and white mix.
Happy Pink Saturday. Be sure to stop by my blog to participate in my gift certificate giveaway.
