Mr. Cleanly has his work cut out for him if he's going to sweep the snow off these plates before Friday, but he brought his team with him! The snowflake is a teeny tiny bit off center, but who's really going to notice when there's a big pile of food on there and a napkin with a cute napkin ring ahead of time??? ;-)
The Dollar Tree also had some cute red and white plates, but the glaze on these seemed a little thicker over the decoration part. So I opted to go blue in this room. :-)
Happy Trash to Treasure Tuesday! Please go to Diane's A Picture is Worth 1,000 Words for more great finds! Here's a link to her blog...

Thanks, Ann! I go weekly, and I vary the time of day. Early in the morning is a good time to go and during the week. Weekends are usually pretty crazy. Although Sundays don't seem to be as bad. See? I have a system! ;-)

You KNOW I love these BLUE plates! How cute is that snowman standing close by to help clean the plate?
What a deal: $1.00. It can't be beat! Enjoy your party.
I need a dollar tree in my area too! Thanks so much for stopping by and your kind comments on my blog!
Thanks for stopping by, Sally and Laura! The Dollar Tree is an indispensable part of my life! Even Mr. Magpie likes it, and shopping to him is akin to having a root canal! ;-)

Gotta love The Dollar Tree, you can get some great bargains in that store.
My $$ Tree did not have those... Unless they were sold out. I will have to go back and look. ;-) Love the plates!
Good morning, sweet Sheila
I hope that you are feeling better today :)
Those plates are very cute and you cannot beat $1!
Also, I couldn't help but notice - isn't that our friend Kenny playing? Did he come to your house today to help you cook? ;)
Hope you have a wonderful dinner with your friends!
We have a dollar tree and dollar general here in town. Love shopping there. Neat bargains.
Your blue snowflake plates are cute, Sheila.
I love these Christmas plates! I am headed to the dollar tree today!
Hugs,
Beth
Those are very pretty plates and they could be used all through the winter, and not just at Christmas!
Enjoy your party on Friday!
Hugs, Pat
Hi -- Mad Red Hare, Melissa, Ms. Tee, Missouri Pat, Beth, and NYC Pat! So glad you came by for a visit.
That dollar tree is great! I got these about a week and a half ago in Jacksonville. They only had a few. I didn't get them all, but I got a little over 12... in case one breaks. I didn't see them at the one where I was today, but they have different things in different places. :-) Yours may have treasures untold that I haven't seen yet! :-)
XO,
Sheila
Hi Sheila :)
Those plates ARE cute, but you're right.... I would never notice the flakes bring off center because I'd be looking at the food ;)
Your Christmas tour was wonderful, but are you okay????? You really shouldn't climb up ladders when you're alone! I don't listen either, but YOU should. I don't want anything to happen to you :)
xoxo,
rue
Love your dishes....and what a steal...you can use them all winter...how fun...and what yummies are you serving?
sweet little ole plates shelia, thanks for coming by today, if I'd know Annie was going to have so many adventures I'd made her some bloomers! LOL
Helen
Hi, my dear sister, Sheilaness! Oh, hallelujah for the Dollar Tree! Gotta love that place! These plates are adorable and your cute little snowman is ready to help with dinner, I can tell.
Be a sweetie,
shelia ;)
These plates are great finds Sheila! I have got to start going to the Dollar Tree. It's just a little bit out of my way--but the bargains are incredible!
Hi Sheila... I do LOVE Dollar Tree! You scored big time with these Snowflake plates and you can use them all winter even after Christmas...smart little magpie, that's what you are! LOL ;-) Bo
Oh Sheila, Love the Dollar Tree and these plates were a fabulous find! :) ~hugs, Rhonda
Good Afternoon to Rue, Lady Jane, Nana (creator of Annie!), Shelia, Lorrie and Bo! Thanks so much for your visit! :-)
Rue -- it was actually the stairs, but it was still scary. Just walking and then suddenly, it was a Scarlet O'Hara all the way! I'm okay, and thanks for caring. Hugs!
Jane -- there are all sorts of people bringing food, but we are having tenderloin, ham, various sides and desserts. Yum! I'm starved!
Nana -- LOL about the bloomers! She is quite the little character, and we have a good time together! :-)
Shelia -- that snowman is actual a butler! ;-)
Lorrie -- girl, you gotta get on over there and see what they have! You'll probably find some good stocking stuffers! :-)
Bo -- don't you love the DT??? That's a good idea about using them throughout the winter! :-)
XO,
Sheila
Shelia,
Love those plates. Dollar Tree has some great items if you catch them in time!
We have one here, and I'm looking forward to being able to beat the crowds since I won't be working!
Thanks for being a part of Trash to Treasure!
Diane
Hi, Rhonda! You slipped in on me, and I didn't see you in that last post! Glad you liked the plates...
XO,
Sheila :-)
Diane, you slipped in while I was posting to Rhonda! It's my pleasure, and I hank you for hosting!
XO,
Sheila
P.S. Glad you have a Dollar Tree, too! :-)
The blue plates are absolutely darling and such a deal! I need to find a Dollar Tree around here and pay a little holiday visit:-)
Thanks for sharing!
Wow, I knew I should have gone in the Dollar Tree when I was shopping this weekend!
Welcome, Rachael and JudyBug! I'm so glad you dropped in this evening, and yes, the Dollar Tree is a favorite haunt of mine and so many others. It's the best! I sound like a commercial, but I really do love them. :-)
Xo,
Sheila
That snowflake plate is amazing!
Great plates for $1....I love a good bargain...
Are you kidding me??? From the Dollar Tree???? WOW! These are NICE! Great job finding them at such a bargain!
Hi -- Alex, David, and Sue! Thank you so much for your visit and your comments. Alex, you be careful in all of that snow. David, I liked the graphics on this plate, and for $1, you simply can't beat it! I love a good bargain, too, Sue. Makes me feel like a smart shopper! :-)
Have a good evening...
XO,
Sheila :-)
Daphine, you snuck in on me! Hey! Yes, from the Dollar Tree! My favorite store! :-)
XO,
Sheila
There is a Dollar Tree not far from me and another in the town I work in. I really need to check them out. I keep hearing all these wonderful buys bloggers are making there.
I shop at the Dollar Store all the time. It's nice to know that you don't have to worry about it because it only cost a dollar. Little Tommy drops it on the floor...your the perfect hostess and say no problemo!
Linnea, you really do need to check it out. I go every so often because the merchandise changes so quickly. You'll love it! :-)
Kim, that is SO true. If it gets broken, it's not the end of the world! Glad to find another fellow Dollar Tree lover! :-)
XO,
Sheila
Thank you, sweet Alex, and I wish the same for you! :-)
XO,
Sheila
