For at least two years I've lusted after these plates at a favorite store, Tuesday Morning. But with a$60 price tag there (and $125 retail retail), they were a bit too dear for my purse.
They're French and made by Gien and the pattern is called Oiseau bleu and I love the fruits in the center of the plates.
I've seen them in the clearance section -- but not for 60% off and even with the percentage off, I felt that they were more than I wanted to pay.
And then, the Friday after Thanksgiving, we stopped by Tuesday Morning on the way to a holiday dinner. A handwritten sign on the front door said that any one clearance item would be half of the clearance price.
A frantic search up and down the aisles to see what treasure might be marked down that I had lusted after.
And there they were -- these blue and white dishes that I truly have lusted after for TWO YEARS!
The big round cake plate was marked 60% off which meant that the $60 plate was marked down to $24 and half of that was $12.

It was! But only 40% off which meant that it was half of $36 or $18.
A decision -- you are only allowed one item and I am trying to decide which plate I truly want when the cashier said I could go out and come in again OR she could just ring them up as separate transactions.
I left with both plates. A very nice surprise on the Friday after Thanksgiving. It's nice to find something you want at a deep sale.
I shall treasure this cake plate and serving tray for they will go well with my English blue and white. I can just picture a mixed berry pavlova on the cake plate. Slices of strawberry bread shall look good on the tray for an afternoon tea.
