Spotted this at a yard sale on Monday.
Had no idea what they were for at first but knew they would be coming home with me at £3 for the lot.
I fathomed out they are posh name card holders for when you have dinner parties.
As we don’t have much of that going on here I’m going to make them into little quote holders.
I hope everyone has had a lovely Easter break.
I know we have with sunshine, friends and a whole lot of lolling around

Don't they make super name tag holders, beautiful find. Sounds like you had a super Easter time. Happy WoywW Tracey #5
ReplyDeleteOh sweet, what a cute find! are they royal Albert or capodimonte type China? Nice buy. I think friends would collapse if I suddenly started using place cards on the rare occasions that we do supper by invitation...these days it’s usually a take away on the back of some unplanned drinks! Love the little vignettes captured today. And you’re right about the desk...I’m actually going to be upstairs, faffing about as far away from it as I can get!!
ReplyDeleteThere’s no name on them Julia but yes you’re right they are that sort of china. Maybe I should invite people round for a chippy tea and use them haha
DeleteNot sure what these are but they are lovely. Place card holder will work! Love the color and design of these. Glenda #16

Hi Lynn, aren't those gorgeous? Great find and bargain there. Fabulous weather here in the Midlands too over the bank holiday.How unusual was that? Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #4 X
ReplyDeleteYou have such a knack for picking up interesting bits and bobs that most of us would simply pass by! Those little place holders are so sweet and I liked the pile of books too - I'm so glad you had such an enjoyable Easter weekend!

They are delightful and I would definitely start entertaining just to be able to use them! I'm glad you had a lovely Easter, we had wall to wall sunshine and spent lots of time in the garden, but back to grey sky and rain today unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week,

What a cute find and I love all your pictures this week. Thanks for sharing. Happy WOYWW and have a great week, with love and God Bless, Caro x (#20)
ReplyDeleteof course you had to take it home with you! Had a very lazy Easter apart from a long walk round Kew (as usual) Helen #1
ReplyDeleteA brilliant re-purpose to use those place card holders as frames for clever quotes!
ReplyDeleteEaster seems like a world away now - back to dreary grey skies and a nip in the air, a sure sign we're trading outside all weekend! xxx
Whatever their original purpose, they are perfect as place holders. A great find. Our meal at the pub was excellent. I hope yours with your Mum is just as good. xxx Maggie (Silvercrafter) #26
ReplyDeleteLynn your little card holders are a delight! You could always use them for supporting small cards or tags when you want to photograph them, or for displaying ATCs etc. I knew what they were as soon as I saw them! What a bargain. I love the quote too - so funny! Must remember that one.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a nice Easter.
Happy WOYWW,

Oh Wow Lynn, they are so pretty no wonder you wanted them. I've never seen those before. Great quote too. Happy belated WOYWW, Angela x21x
ReplyDeleteOh my, aren't these the prettiest little objects? Obviously, they had to come home with you, and what a brilliant idea to use them for displaying quotes! xxx
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous!!!! You are so clever x
