My China Collection has Grown

This is a little tardy on my part but it took me awhile to sort my sideboard out.  My lovely but very very naughty daughter got me a beautiful vintage teaset for my Christmas present. It seems to be victorian and like most teasets minus a teapot. However there is loads of it. There are several spare saucers and teaplates in addition to what is here and I am smitten. I was when I saw it in the local indoor fleamarket and the naughty thing when back and got it for me.  I have re-organised the sideboard to display it, but think I  really should seek out a glass   fronted cabinet to keep it safe and sound not to mention cut down the need for dusting.




I also decided that as I had all the other bits in this pretty existing set in my collection, I could not leave the creamer sat in the ebay shop I got the rest from so I got my order in. Isn't it cute? Can  china be cute? Well I think so.



When one aquires stuff, one has to be inventive with the rough guides that no-one ever reads in order to keep the cakestand. I had to put a couple of random trios in the sideboard as it was.
