What a wonderful haul you made, especially that punch bowl.
Its gorgeous! I really like your Christmas idea for it.

hugs, Karen

luvs - what great treasures! I also love the punchbowl, so many possiblities just with that piece. The silver tiered tray looks like the same style I have which I used on my Halloween table.
Have a great weekend.

Luvs, What great goodies. That punch bowl is just gorgeous and your idea of filling it is great and could be done for any holiday. I love your stacked plate holders and tiered tray also. Great prices too.

Storage? I'm the last person to have any ideas. I'm fast running out. LOL

Oh, imagine the possibilities with that punch bowl! Love it! And the trays are great too.
You had a good day, you'll find room..somewhere!

Punch bowl? Punch bowl? You're not fooling anyone, Luvs. We all know you're thinking "Big Martini!"

Luvs, what wonderful finds! That punch bowl is terrific and though OA has a great idea for it, I like yours better, LOL!!! With so many tiered trays, you can use them like stacked plates and have many displays!

DD

I want to go shopping with you! I have been wanting some tiered holders just like those. Great buys, Luvs!

I agree with all of the above...so many possibilites..That punch bowl is not only beautiful but so different...Lots of uses for those tiered trays..they should keep you going for awhile..lol Great finds. Have fun..

Glad you all thought I found some good stuff. The tiered trays will be great for buffets, but will probably get used more with decorations.

The white one is salad plate size and needs a pretty bow and some florals at the top, don't you think? The black one uses regular sized dinner plates.

I saw how Tam had used her silver tiered trays and they looked so pretty, so she gave me ideas for it.

Does anyone know if you can get replacements for the S hooks that let the cups hang on the punch bowl? This came with 12 cups but only three hooks. Probably won't use the cups that much, but thought I should have the hooks just in case I wanted to hang them.

And Kathleen, you are right, we seem to keep finding a place "somewhere" for all our treasures, don't we? LOL

Luvs

Oooh, what great stuff! I love the punch bowl. :)

I think all you "dish nuts" need to quit struggling with storage and hiding places, and just give in and dedicate a whole room in your house to your dish collections. Imagine, a room filled with shelves from floor to ceiling, and then a table or two in the middle. You could padlock the door to keep out nosy, disapproving relatives. LOL.
And you could sneak in there for a Calgon-Take Me Away moment whenever you needed.
Don't you have a guest bedroom or kids off to college bedroom you could confiscate? LOL. Those are a waste of good dish space seems to me.

hugs, Karen

Ah, Karen, you are a wonderful "enabler". LOL That would be so great to have a whole room for pretty dishes and accessories!

No doubt about it--it's under the guest bed for the tiered metal stands! Just hope I don't forget that I have them--with me it's "out of sight, out of mind" I'm afraid. ;o)

Luvs

Karen, you are too funny! A "calgon-take-me-away" moment" LOL!! But so true!! It would be wonderful to go into a room with all our dishes/pretties ready to be enjoyed. I've already taken over DD's and DS's closets now that they are gone...the whole bedroom would be even better!

DD

Nice finds!! I love the metal tiered stand - at that price, of course you had to buy them! :)

Mo

Wonderful finds - congratulations! I'd love some "dinner plate" sized tiered stands...I just have a salad/dessert sized one (that I use often for parties). I bet you'll really enjoy those...

I actually store my "tiered" serving things behind furniture in the living room. :-) All my metal stands and trays stand silently back there between a huge plant pot and an aquarium, not really noticed unless someone is extremely nosy, and ready to be dusted off and used whenever I need them. Got any chairs or big plant pots you could sit them behind?
