Oh, Goodwill, I couldn't resist

 Went to Goodwill yesterday in search of a backpack for my upcoming trip.  Found two, at bargain prices.  Resisted the yarn and puzzles (Yay Me!), did find a pack of 3-D dog erasers.  Best find was a GladLock container full of jewelry-making stuff, including a pair of round-nose pliers and a pair of wire cutters.  Only $2.86 for the whole container, so I bought it.  

 


 

 While I waws there, I saw a set of dishes, in a familiar pattern.  Mikasa Studio Nova's Adirondack pattern.  Now, 25+ years ago, I bought two cups and saucers in this pattern for my college dishes.  Always liked the pattern.  But I didn't buy them yesterday.  

Yeah, I went back today.  For $75, I came home with I believe 8 dinner plates, 6 salad plates, and 6 sandwich or luncheon plates.  Plus four plain white bowls that are very deep, just the way I like them for soup.  I didn't buy the serving bowls ($15 each), the coffee cups and saucers, the $10 salt & pepper set, or the wannabe sugar & creamer set that was actually a creamer and a coffee cup on an oval saucer.
