  • Happy Father's Day too me.....



    Well not really, but I did get some treats.....

    When we first got married, most of our friends where university students so I wouldn't say picking out a china pattern was something we even thought about.  Our families where generous and we did buy a nice dinner set, but that has long since been diminished.

    It has taken me a long time to find a 'china' pattern that

    a.  Hubby and I both liked.
    b.  That  I thought was worth the money and effort to collect.

    This week I found the one.

    It is Royal Worcester -Palissy (black) Orchid

    Here is the beginning of my colleciton.

    It is considered 'retro' rather than antique as it is from 1930's-1950's.


    The tea cups....






    The coffee mugs....







    All of a sudden I feel very grown up and girly.

    Why do china patterns do that too us?????






    So whose coming to tea?




    What is your fav china?

  • I want to make a canvas- vote!



    I am hoping to make a gift for my neighbor of one of these two photos.

    These were taken with her daughter on the farm she grew up on as a child.

    The family still has the farm so it is the third generation of children sharing in it's memories.





    Which one would make the best canvas for a wall?
