Then there was this Grosvenor set. Six cups and plates but only two saucers, but
I'm sure I'll have some other spare saucers that will look good with the
cups. The bonus with this set is that
there was a milk jug and sugar bowl to match.
Thank you very much for all your good wishes for my new
enterprise. I've got lots to think about
- setting up a website, getting business cards etc - so much to do - so little
brain!
For those of you who think I'm lucky,
here's a wee story about what happened to me today which will even the score a
bit. My very front tooth veneer came out
at weekend. Breathed a sigh of relief as
it was in one piece, so I put it somewhere very safe until I could get an
appointment to have it put back. Appointment
was this morning. Just as I was about to
leave the house I carefully wrapped it in a tissue and put it in my coat
pocket. I had a ten minute walk to the
dentist, went in, placed tissue on her tray and hey presto ... dah, dah, dah
... no veneer! Emptied pocket, and
handbag - no sign of it. Searched
waiting room floor - nothing. Checked
reception area - not a sign. Got home
and checked everywhere - nada! So I'm
now going to have to pay for a new veneer - I just had a crown fitted last week
and I've an appointment with the hygienist tomorrow!!!! I've got a splitting headache, I'm so annoyed
at myself, how could I have been so careless!
So, the moral of this story is - lady luck giveth, BUT she also taketh
away!!!!!
Love, Liz

So lovely, the gold trimmed ones, and I love that they have different designs. So sorry to hear about your dental crisis - I don't like the dentist much at the best of times.

Sorry about the veneer on your tooth. It happens to us all.
Lovely china finds.
Such pretty, pretty teacups!! I love the idea of hiring tea cups out. I recently went to a funeral in the little village where I grew up, and the ladies of the church put on a luncheon and served tea in old fashioned tea cups. It was just such a lovely touch to a special remembrance. The first thing I would be doing is finding some good packaging to transport the tea cups so they won't get broken. Too bad about the tooth :( Hope your week turns around for the better! Wendy
Oh Liz so sorry to hear about your veneer - how frustrating - maybe there's a very naughty little tooth fairy about? Your china haul is gorgeous and yes I think the business enterprise sounds great. Hope the headache has eased a bit x Jane
Ouch! Sorry to hear about the tooth. On the plus side, the balfour green trios are absolutely gorgeous. I love their gold patterns.
Good luck with the tea set hiring, hopefully it'll be a surefire winner for you, especially with all that lovely china you've been collecting.Sorry to hear about the veneer fiasco; hopefully some wonderful new finds will come your way to offset this!
What a 'pain in the rear' and expensive pain too! x
So so pretty, I just love vintage china. Just catching up with reading posts and missed your last. Just read it. What an excellent idea for a hire business. Good luck.
