Fabulous Finds at the Estate Sale!

Had such a great time at the Estate Sale that I told you about in my earlier post! The house was packed full of beautiful vintage & antique items! They had tons of Haviland chinaware, gorgeous furniture, crystal, jewelry, porcelain figurines, linens, old books, sterling silver, and the list goes on and on. I was thrilled to come home with a few Haviland pieces to add to my collection, some lovely vintage linens & a couple of extra little treasures!

I just love vintage Haviland chinaware with those beatuiful pink roses! This is the pitcher that I brought home with me, I just love the pattern. Isn't it beautiful?



Here are 4 dessert plates with the same pattern as the pitcher. I also bought the little box of antique chandelier crystals & the cake & cheese servers with the pink floral porcelain handles.



I love vintage pitchers, and wanted to show you another one that I have.



These are the linens I bought. When I saw this round tablecloth with all of the hand work I couldn't pass it up!



Next is this lovely set of tea napkins with embroidery,cutwork and delicate needlelace!



I also bought a linen oblong mat trimmed with very pretty & delicate french lace, one of my favorite vintage laces!



The last two photos show a lace oblong doily and a filet crochet runner. I love using vintage linens & lace pieces throughout my home.





Here is a peek into the dining area of my kitchen where I keep some of my Haviland chinaware.



Hope you enjoyed seeing all the treasures I brought home!

Love & Hugs,
Carol Anne

Have not heard of Haviland china before. Is it American?
I love the pitchers. Am fond of collecting vases and jugs. But have nothing like those.
I can see that blogs such as yours are going to tempt me out to op shops etc but we do not quite have the length of history and grand homes being sold up over here in Oz.
Can match some of the lace cloths and adore those napkins.
Am not able to stand around for long times so estate sales would probably be out for me, so it is good we do not often have them,but I do miss the auction houses. Not many in the area in which I live now.
