This week for Show and Tell I'm sharing some dishes I found at the flea market last weekend for $2 each.
I bought 2 of this pattern below. They were made in Bavaria. I love the roses on these, they remind me of my absolute favorite rose "Pierre de Ronsard", also known as "Eden." 
From the same vendor and also $2 I found this Limoges Haviland & Co. plate below. It has a few little chips around the edge but for $2 I couldn't pass it up!
I just love old dishes! I have to say one of the best things about blogging is finding out that so many of you feel the same way!For all of you who are in the San Francisco Bay Area, Vintage & Vogue (downtown Campbell) is having a Holiday Celebration Friday, November 13th 10:00 am-9:00 pm and a 15% discount will be offered all day! I drove by the other night and all their Christmas decor in the window looked so beautiful!

Very soft and sweet plates, Cindy....they seem very much your style.
Wow, what a great find at two dollars each!
Have fun at Vintage and Vogue. I am going to an antiques fair this weekend. Hopefully the predicted rainstorm won't prevent us from attending.
Cindy, what WONDERFUL finds! I can't believe the price of those pretty plates! You lucky girl! I love vintage plates also!
Hugs,
Maryjane
The one in the bottom picture looks like it might even have a little bit of your favorite blue in it! Very pretty!
Cindy, thank you again for hosting this party. It's always one of my favorites. I try to get here early so that I can get a headstart on looking at everything. Your blog is looking as lovely as ever, and I truly enjoy my visits here.
I do so love pretty plates even if they do have a chip or 2! I am always saying that if someone where to break into our home they might think they hit the jackpot till they go to sell all those pretty , look like a million, but definitely chippy and imperfect dishes!!

These plates are simply beautiful! What a bargain price, too! Thanks so much for sharing and hosting.
Now that's what I call a bargain!
Beautiful plates that would probably be $20 a piece in a shop.
Great find!
Very Pretty Plates what wonderful collectibles you have thanks for sharing~Blessings Heather:D
I love old plates and china, too! Those are especially pretty pieces, Cindy. I would have snapped them up, too!
Absolutely beautiful dishes Cindy!!! and just for $2 each, my goodness, I need to go over USA for treasure hunting.
Pierre de Ronsard roses are my favorites too and have many, all in buds and waiting to bloom fully... yesterday I cut some few of them... come and see what I did.
Lots of hugs

Such pretty plates. Makes you wonder about the history of them and who originally bought the plates because they liked them too.
You founds some real beauties. I love old plates, too. I like to use mine to serve desserts.
sooo pretty! Makes me want tea and cupcakes!
Cindy......Great prices for some really special finds! I love old china with roses!~Patti
Of course you know I absolutely love your show and tell plates! Would love to go thrifting with you some time. These would fit right in with the pink and brown tablescape I made for you. Beautiful dishes ~ you can never have too many, especially at these prices. Hope your weekend is wonderful!

Oh, so pretty!! I wish we had a Vintage and Vogue here. What a deal!
Love your beautiful plates and such a good buy! I linked up today and I am showcasing one of my dish sets too.
Gorgeous plates! I spent many summer vacations in Bavaria with my grandmother as a child. If I'd known then that I'd have such a passion for dainty rose plates, I would have asked her for all of her floral dishes.
Cindy,
Beautiful plates and a great price.
Sandy
Hi Cindy,
I'm beginning to think you and Kelly are twins separated at birth, you both are on the same wavelength.
LeAnn
Beautiful plates & what a steal!:)
Very pretty plates and such a fun find!
Hi Cindy
Love your plates, yes don't they remind you of the Pierre de Ronsard Rose, I've just planted one and it's already given me a beautiful vase of roses
Happy weekend to you
~Gail
WOW girl, $2!!! I think you're the one to shop with! Well maybe not...we like all the same things. These are really lovely.
Hugs,
June
Such pretty china! I love to mix and match pretty rose china on a table, makes for great converstation. Thanks for sharing!
So Beautiful and love your closeup pics. I get these mix and match lovelies at our GW and leave the small plates and tiny bowls stacked on my counter so I can see everyday and pull one out to put under my morning coffee. Let's which one will I use today.
I love your plates! They are beautiful! Pink Blessings!

Oh Cindy. The plates are GORGEOUS. Just loved them. Also, so happy to SEE your camera. Thanks so much for sharing. Sincerely, Susan at writingstraightfromtheheart.blogspot.com
Your dishes are fabulous, Cindy! Soo romantic!
Sorry for not having joined you yet, but I just cannot bear the pressure! Life's too hectic for me at the moment!
Oh, I meant to say the most incredible thing happened- I found another bottle identical to the one I gave you!!!! Isn't this incredible?? I had NEVER seen one with a blue rose on the top, and I found TWO just alike!:)))))
Hugs,
Monicax.

That plate is gorgeous and it would go so perfectly with little Miss G4s room-it is shabby chic pink.

Hi Cindy~ ~
Great buy on the plates they are beautiful! This summer I bought a pretty pink rose dinner plate and decided right then to begin collecting dinner plates with pink roses on them. So far I have just the 1. My plans are to collect at least 12 so that I can set a table with all the different plates and let each person at the dinner choose the setting with their favorite plate. Hows that for choosing placement for a dinnerparty? If you ever want to sell please keep me in mind.
