about a year ago i bought myself some lovely little polka dot egg cups from the charity shop...
i thought they were a little bit Emma Bridgewater inspired ..
a few months after that i found the little toast rack that matched in another charity shop aww i thought how cute.. it matches my egg cups.. nice for egg and soldiers to match!!
then in the summer at a local car boot sale i found the T-pot for somthing silly like 25p!!
on my lunch today i took a stroll up to the charity shops as since work was closed last week and i have the children all other times i don't really get to have a look round .. i literally ran up there as i have had cabin fever!!
and came across these two plates, two saucers and lovely cups. which just look perfect for hot chocolate and a load of squirty cream!!!.
so now i think i may have the full set.. or at least some of it and i never intended to .. its amazing how things come together as you go along buying from the charity shops..
and i think it may have all come to at least £3.50!!!!!

Great collection, polka dots are so pretty. It's a great feeling when you find treasure like that in the charity shop, they must have had your name on them.

A lovely collection it is too. I have one bowl which I think matches that collection, it was Johannas bowl which she bought for work but since brought home. I do love the spots they make me happy!

Thanks for the comment on my blog! I know, our GReyhound certainly is a big dog :) He is so lovely and gentle, and loves cuddles, even at his size.
ReplyDeleteHow amazing that you have managed to find all those matching bits and pieces, it's such a great style, I don't think you'll ever get tired of it. It just goes to show that patience does pay off.

Ohooo I have scrolled back and yours are lovely. I do quite like the idea of them going in the garden as they have that lovely weathered look don't they, mmmmm haven't really thought about where actually I am going to put them ;) shall probably be wrapped in the tissue for months knowing me ;)
ReplyDeleteI suppose they were meant for kitchens but dunno, not sure they would look right in mine
