I found this great set of Byrd's Tranquil melamine dishes from the 60's?? There's between 5-8 of each item in the set including cups, tiny bowls, saucers, small plates, and large plates. 
I thought they would be perfect for the kids to use. Now if I could find a good place to put them in my tiny kitchen, I'd be set. 
Charlotte played tea party with them as soon as she woke up the next morning. Not bad for $3.50!!
I found this cute bowl for $.99. It's about 8" high and I like that it has a pour spout.
These three bowls nest inside one another and the largest bowl is the perfect size for muffin/cake batter. Now, if only I could find room in my cabinets for them. I'm sensing a pattern here. The set was $3. I also bought 9 summer shirts. I was so glad to find some great shirts. I hadn't bought new summer clothes in many years and it showed.
So, my grand total for the shirts and the plates and bowls was $21!!! I did have a $5 off coupon for donating a big bag of clothes when I got there so my total would have been $26 but even that would have been a steal.

What a great plate set! That color even matches the new retro chic colors!! Everything old is new again! I love your bargains. I think we need to start thinking about getting another cabinet for your kitchen. We'll have to hit Building Salvage! he he he I love how kids love all the new things! Love you, Momma
Great finds! I need some new mixing and serving bowls. Down to just a couple and I use them over and over again.
I love your new dishes! Those are perfect for the kids. And those bowls are great!!!
Awesome job. Exactly my kind of shopping trip.
I love the idea about going to building salvage, Mom. Maybe we can do that this summer. I ended up cleaning out some old mismatched kids bowls to make room for the new stuff but I'd love to put cabinets along the window wall. Having only 4 bottom cabinets is starting to cramp my style :)
