I just received another boxful of Kathie Winkles from a seller on Ebay. It pays to buy more than one item from a seller if they have what you are looking for. I have just about completed my set of Corinth from this one seller in Ontario.; just need the tea cup and the luncheon plate to finish the set. They are getting harder to find in the thrift stores but keep your eyes open for me.
I am waiting for one more plate that I ordered from another seller in Williams Lake. It is a pattern I have never seen before. When it comes I will post photo of it on the blog.
Happy collecting!!!

Ebay
Lesson 1: Try to buy more than one thing from an online seller to drastically reduce the shipping costs.
I just received my first Ebay purchase of a Luncheon plate in the Rushton pattern. I only paid $.98 for the plate but the postage was criminal!!! I have a few other items coming from Ebay and I will update my lists as they arrive.
Keep checking out your local thrift stores for me.

Here Goes....
This is new territory for me so forgive me my ignorance. Basically I have set this up to see if I can locate some Kathie Winkle design dishes by letting you know what it is that I need. That way if you are at a Value Village or any other Thrift store and can keep an eye out for these pieces I would really appreciate it. Please pass this on to your friends who are Thrift Store aficionados and help me to complete my mission which is to buy 1set each of Kathie Winkle designs. (I'm not into matchy, matchy...) Of course if you come across anything else like, coffee pots, tea pots, creamers, sugar bowls, tureens, etc. please let me know as well but, what I am mostly interested in is a dinner plate, luncheon plate, bread&butter plate, tea cup/saucer, oatmeal bowl and nappy bowl for each design.
So here goes...this is what I am looking for right now:
