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.

I'm looking for some melamine bowls for E, as he's just mastered eating with a spoon. I normally put food on his highchair tray, unless it's really messy, but you can't use a spoon that way. So we need more bowls. I haven't yet found any bowls I really like, but aren't these plates from Pinks and Green just gorgeous? I think this is a 1950's style design - feel free to correct me here, I'm no expert - and I really love the old school feel.
