Roslyn Tea
Have a look at the lovely tea set I found in a charity shop this week. I think that it is so pretty.
It has been very well used, which to me just adds to its charm, because it means that it hasn't been sitting in a china cabinet or at the back of a cupboard.
I like to think that it was some lovely old lady's everyday china. Sentimental - I know, but I occasionally like to make up little histories for my favourite finds. Does anyone else do that?
I asked the lady in the charity shop if I could collect it the next day, as I had shopping to do. When I eventually opened the package to wash the dishes I discovered a wee added bonus.
One of the saucers didn't match - but it was this beautiful Roslyn China Azalea pattern saucer. Somehow it just added to the tea set's charm.
This tea set if my first find for ages! The charity shop shelves have been a bit sparse and over-priced recently. Hopefully things are now improving.
Love, Liz

that cup is truly beautiful. The hand painting makes it very special. I like that you think about the history of your finds. They surely have. Thank you for sharing your treasures.
