Teapot Day


In response to Dale's Teapot Day - here's my Shelley Teapot and jug - given to my Mum in the '40's - has a look of garlic!

Friday 12 June 2009

These are a few of my favourite crocs!

Thought I would join in the plate day with Elizabeth - elizabeth-aboutnewyork.blogspot.com and Dale - downunderdale.blogspot.com - with their plate day - what a great idea Elizabeth!- must learn how to just use people's names as links too - how do you do that?

Royal Worcester Vine Harvest


This cake plate and knife were Mum's - love the grapes - and everything about it really!

Spode Italian


Love love love blue plates! This one is such a lovely cobalt blue...

Clarice Cliff Nasturtiums and Crocus


I love the colours and shapes of Clarice Cliff - The crocus cup and saucer were a"Thank you" for Eileen and Luke's wedding...

Royal Doulton Bunnykins dish


This was bought nearly 60 years ago for my brother as he had a tendency to put plates on his head and this was considered too heavy? It was then used for years as a dog water dish! Rescued now and given pride of place!

Portmeirion Jug


We use Botanic Garden every day - love flowers - must be why I did a botany degree! and love the shape of this jug...
