Lemons and Florals - Vintage China, Of Course
At last it has all been washed and sorted and I can show you
some
of my lovely weekend vintage china finds.
First of all there is this little Sutherland china tea
set. Don't thing it is very old, but it
is a really pretty, delicate shade of lemon.
Then there was this set - its Ainsley china and I have to
admit that I wasn't very taken with it till I saw the saucers - they are the
most gorgeous shade of green. Really
sets off the florals and stops it being too overwhelmingly flowery!
There were just two cups and saucers, but eleven tea plates,
so I'm going to make a few little cake stands with the extras. Well, when I say that I'm going to make cake stands, what I really mean is that I'll get
hubby to drill the holes in the plates.
He really won't mind because I got him a new superduper drill for
Christmas and he hasn't had much chance to use it yet, so I don't think he'll
complain too much!
I've decided that as my china collection is growing all the
time, I'm going to have to do something with it. So, I'm doing a bit of research locally to
find out if there is a niche for hiring it out for tea parties, small weddings
etc. I'm quite excited about this, so
wish me luck!

There are companies here which hire out vintage china for weddings and parties, but obviously you need a LOT! My mate was thinking of doing it but storage was a problem. let us know how you get on with your research. xxxx
Hiring out your china sounds like a great idea considering the vintage trend at the moment. Gives you a legitimate excuse to keep buying more pretty china too!
And my oh my, vintage gourgeousness for sure!! What beautiful finds.
Love rummaging through charity shops too, and I love china and vintage linens :)
