Cottage Tea Cup
Because it was so warm, I wasn't really in the mood for charity shopping! Shock! Horror! Have you noticed that some charity shops get a bit, well ... how can I put this ... smelly in warmer weather? Recently, everything that I have seen that I liked has been (with a few exceptions) overpriced, so I wasn't expecting much!
I'd almost given up on finding anything that I liked at a reasonable price when, tra la ..... I found these little beauties!
I already have some in this pattern, I wrote about them ages ago here. But I like them so much, that I wanted a few more pieces to make up a set. Love the little cottage and garden - so cute!
There they were, just sitting on the shelf, very, very reasonably priced, so I snapped them up! Restored my faith in bargain hunting!
Been looking for a tea cosy like this for ages, this goes so well with my kitchen and was only £1.50 from Tesco! Last time I saw one I liked in a charity shop it was over four pounds and it wasn't half as nice as this, although someone had marked "vintage" on the price tag!!!!!! Good excuse to bump the price up!
Looking forward to seeing what you've found this week over at Flea Market Finds!
Love, Liz

THANKS so much for popping over Lovey.... :o) !!
We have the same problem down here....Shopping is VERY light on these days in the Op-Shops....I remember 7 years ago I'd go out for the day & come back with a van load....Now....With Dealers working out the back getting the good stuff before it makes it out onto the floor etc....It's getting HARDER....That's WHY I LOVE Hard Rubbish so much....!!
That being said, you found yourself some Treasures....What a SWEET design....The Op-Shop Gods must have been smiling your way....!!
Enjoy the rest of the week....I hope it cools down for you....!!
Cheers from Oz,
