Here are a few pics of my china dresser....Five years ago when I moved to Sidmouth I didn't even own a tea cup.
I think I ALMOST have enough now..although I would quite like 365 different patterns........
One for each day of the year.........
And to be fair its not a " for looking at" collection, I use a different one everyday..on a tray..with tea pot, sugar bowl and milk jug....
Me mother goes barmy at the amount of washing up it generates and people generally think I am nuts.....and that mugs are much easier......"Do I look like a hairy a**ed bricklayer is my usual reply...I ....am LADY....and Ladies use tea cups!"
And a china tea cup makes the tea taste sooooooo much better.....its lovely walking into my dining room in the morning and perusing the patterns...deciding what mood i am in..which pattern fits that mood ...
Am i in a Victorian mood? or do I feel all Art Deco today? 1940's rose or am I in a Granny mood when only my Grandma cup will suffice....I even have a pretty W.I cup although I am not in the W.I !
And do not get me started on tea pots!
"One more tea pot comes into this house and it's divorce! " my husband threatens...."Don't tempt me" is my reply as I sneakily remove a tea pot from under my jumper.....
This morning I was in a Royal Albert Kentish Rockery kinda mood........
Anyone wanna come and play tea sets with me?
:-) Goodness that is one serious tea set collection :-) I love it i did chuckle at your husbands response about no more teapots. My mum says the same as you about tea tasting better from a cup and saucer. dee xx
ReplyDeleteTea definitely tastes nicer from bone china!
ReplyDeleteWhat is your favourite, mine is Earl Grey.
May I come and play.......?

ReplyDeleteyes you can x
I only drink coffee, but I still drink it in a vintage cup and saucer.
ReplyDeleteI love your collection, I thought I was the only mad one out there.
Adore your collection of tea pots. I only have a couple. I would love to come and play tea sets.....

You make a nice strong cup of tea! my man's so pleased I dont have(quite)so many tea cups. see you tomorrow at knit cafe. hx
ReplyDeleteHello and thank you for calling round. For a moment I thought that one of my sisters had set up a blog as she has a dresser full of china just like yours and a few hundred in the cupboards. My sister loans her china out to the WI for their fund raising events.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your tea sets
Best wishes
