Don't you just love the weekend! I went estate shopping and thrift store shopping and scored big! Junking is what my friend Nancy would call it. My biggest find was a serve for 8 Mikasa china set, complete for $50.00. I need another china set like I need a whole in the head, but who can resist this beauty. I am sure that I will find regular occassions to bring this set out. I also found a beautiful hand painted vase at an Estate sale. It will look great for March decorating! I like to have my living room done in greens and blues.
