Sweet, Sweet Finds...

This week was a wonderful time for antique and thrift store shopping.
The above vintage picture was a delightful find to add to my growing collection of original vintage photos.

I also found some lovely, elegant tea things.
A Beautiful Little Tea Pot
{made in Staffordshire England}


A Collection of New Teacups...

{all made in England ♥}
"Floral Beauty"

"A Little Touch of Blue!"

Last but not least.... my favorite.
"Rose Loveliness"

Love the gold rimming on the edges...
::sigh::


And...
with Valentine's Day just around the corner...
charming stickers are a must for those
last minute cards, decorations and crafts.
Blessings to you and yours.

but the greatest of these is love."

How delightful! Although I come from Devon, I currently live in Staffordshire in England. This area used to be known worldwide for it's pottery and china. Indeed, the nearest large shopping centre to me is known as 'The Potteries'. Sadly, much of the production has now been moved abroad, which led to a great deal of unemployment in the area. How lovely that you have such a pretty piece from better times.

I have a weakness for pretty china too!

Kind regards,
Paula

What fun you had! I think they are all quite grand! Pretty teapots are getting harder to find (for a good price). Yours is sweet. And the teacups, too! I can see a lovely tea party in the making!
Blessings!
