The Motueka recycling centre is a place where I could spend HOURS (without my children) and I could get lost in piles and piles after shelves and shelves of recycled goodness.
Imagine my pure delight when searching through the crockery not only did I find a complete Crown Lynn dinnerset, but I was then charged $15 for the entire set!
Be still my beating heart.
I paid the $15 and I almost ran out of the centre before the man could see my pure delight all over my face.
My new to me Crown Lynn dinnerset safe and sound having travelled from Motueka to Auckland via Air NZ carry on luggage.

Lucky Lucky!!!! It is gorgeous!
How wonderful. Surviving the hand luggage haul only makes it sweeter.
wow looks like an amazing place to rummage! Well done you!
woo hoo! it's beautiful Cat. Love the autumnal looking foliage. Every kiwi house should have a crown lynn set!
Do let me know what the pattern is called (does it say on the reverse?) and if your 'collecting' this now and I shall keep my eyes peeled for you :0)
Great score!
Fantastic - I love op shops in small towns. I must mention that if you ever find yourself in Raglan, check out Raven's Nest - the dump shop/recycling centre. Its well worth the trip
