Labor Day yard and rummage sales

So many holiday week-end yard sales! At the Heritage Society sale, I saw a beautiful set of white china with white decorative flowers with silver trim approx.7 place settings for $5, made in Japan. Right next to it was a cheap looking set of plates, big box store type, made in China, no cups or serving pieces for $10. These days women with dishwashers and microwaves don't want nice china with gold or silver trim. But why wait to set a pretty table? So I bought the $5 set and put my heavy Pfalzgraf in the neighbor's sale.

I just had to google it--the dinner plates at replacement site about $10 ea., cups and saucers about $12, and bread and butter plates $6, and I seem to have 7 of everything.
