China collection

I love these pretty teacups that the woodsman found - perfect for a cup of Earl Grey in the summer sun

China collection

As promised, dear readers - though a bit later than anticipated - here is an introduction to our vintage china collection. The woodsman has a great eye for beautiful old tableware and often brings me back little gifts that cost under a pound. Some are a classic style - like this lovely teapot - others are more retro/kitsch. I think this teapot is just darling.

Displaying pretty things

Our flat is a tip! The woodsman and his penchant for vintage china means that every surface is covered with stuff. It's all lovely, but you can't see it properly as it's all stacked in a higgeldy-piggeldy mountain. I really need to find some good ways to display things. I love these shelves for beautiful vintage china. Maybe I can get him to knock some up this weekend??!
