hosted by Rhoda at
Southern Hospitality.
Be sure to pay a visit to Rhoda and all
the other creative and thrifty people
out there in blog land. The ideals and
creativity are never ending.
My treasure, I'm not sure if it was thrifty or
not, is dishes I found at the local antique shop.
DH and I stopped one day while out riding the
motorcycle and I fell in love with them
immediately. Of course all I could do was lay
them away until I could get back to pick them
up.
I found 5 dinner plates, four salad bowls and six
coffee cups in the stack for $30.00.
They are marked Johnson Bros and there
are three different patterns and names on them.
The dinner plates are marked The School House and the
salad bowls are marked The Stone Fence, the coffee cups
have a different pattern on them but no name all
they say are Made in England.

Oh Sandy, I love your dishes. They are just wonderful. I love all the pretty scenes and the colors are wonderful. Such a great find. I also love the mirror and the lovely tray. I think you did great. I can't wait to see a tablescape. Hugs, Marty
You got some nice deals. Pretty dishes.
Those are the Johnson Brothers "Friendly Village" they are still in production. Each piece has a different scene.
I have some of those dishes also and a few cups. They're beautiful! I love using them in the fall/winter. Great find!

Love. Love. Love the dishes.
Love the barn ones! So pretty! And that mirror is really nice.
Hi Sandy! I've always really liked Johnson Bros. dishes. These look great. Have a great week...
I have the Friendly Village dishes,t oo! The collection was started my granny. Usually before the holidays the dept stores will run them as holiday dishes, often for 50% off. You can also find odd pieces of it at places like Marshall's and TJMaxx. My friend found some for me at a thrift store, so it's really pretty easy to find. There are MANY pieces to go with it!
Enjoy,
Suzanne
Such pretty dishes. Great finds!
Gorgeous plates. Just perfect for the holiday season coming up.
Visiting from Rhoda's. Please stop by and say hello.
Hi! Stopping by from Southern Hospitality! I can't tell you anything about your dishes other than I am loving them! They look so familiar and I think my grandmother may have had them.
You got some great deals!
Love those Johnson Brothers. What great finds and an awesome new collection to start.
