One saturday we went to a church sale. I got a green round pitcher for 2$; I still have it today. They had a big bin with 'surprise bags' for a dollar. I love surprise bags and I decided to buy one. I got this dark yellow egg plate with hen S&P. I thought it was the TACKIEST thing ever!
I couldn't picture having it in my appartment...So I gave it to the very nice lady my dad was working with. She loved it and put it in her kitchen.
I kept thinking about that plate; even after all those years....
Then one day on Ebay 20 years later I found this:
I remember getting a really good deal for it (not better than the 1988 1$ )
And last weekend at a Salvation Army in Prescott, On I found those cuties
They look the same! I wonder what happened to their plate!
The moral of this story is...I should've kept the 1988 ones!

I love that green egg plate and the S&P I think it is neat you found some S&P to save! Happy Birthday and you are still a baby! I would love to enter your giveaway! Thanks so much!!
I am a devoted follower (kissing up is allowed right???)of your FABULOUS blog!
First of all, I can't believe what a good memory you have. 1988 - Sheesh!
Your tacky set is cute.
This is a hoot! I have that egg plates and S&P shakers only in harvest gold. My sister-in-law gave it the set to me because it matched a set of pottery I was collecting. I still have them and used to display them with that pottery.
Too cute!

Love your egg plate and chicks. Thanks for visiting my blog. olive♥
It's me again! I went back to look at your photos again and saw something a friend of mine would have jumped at... the little pitcher beside the yellow set of Pyrex refrigerator dishes. Evidently those are super collectable.
I'll be back. You find such neat stuff!

I love that tacky green egg plate with the hens, though I probably wouldn't want to own it.
I think it's the cutest thing. I'm so glad you were able to find all the pieces.
I am sure there are not many of us that has not regretted keeping something. I would not have the room and too when younger things were not as important. As you get older, your priorities change. I am glad you found another one. Learn from this lesson.
Adorable chickens and I just love that plate!
Happy Birthday! (I won't be joining the give away because it would break the bank to send all those wonderful goodies to far away me! :)
What a beautiful garden you have. And what great thrift store finds! That egg plate is awesome.
