ReplyDeleteOh I think I might just have to lie down for a bit!!!!!!!! I would have been in complete heaven sorting through that lot! What treasures! Lucky you! Have complete and utter fun with it! Have a fab day! Hugs Vanessa xxx
ReplyDeletehi vanessa ,
ReplyDeletethank u for the comment, i had great fun and I have to do it all again saturday! as have a jib lot arriving again!
Trouble is as I am building up the stock and the corage to do a stall i am finding that i want to keep so much!!
I really am running out of places to put it all though, although.......i have come up with a legit excuse to keep some...as i have come up with the idea of hiring out china for vintage tea parties...need to build up a collection of trios, tea pots, sugar bowls , milk jugs and cake stands...well that my excuse and i am sticking to it!!!LOL!!!
jib =job lot,
ReplyDeletecorage=courage
that should be thats...
i promise i ain't been on the gin yet....typos!!!
rather open shop though, and take something home every night... for free! although i prefer to look at it, rather than to have it all, i'm having a great time scrolling through your pages... soooooooo english! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful china Claire, it's almost taken my breath away. Totally gorgeous! Good luck with the stall Mrs Stokes xx
ReplyDeleteWow such a collection! I have a Fens two-tier cake stand and I had never seen any other pieces with that hand-painted design until seeing your blog. I also have a similar era house to you (1922) :) Alison
