Everyday China
Thought I'd share my everyday china with you today. I've had it for over 25 years. It is
Kilkee by Noritake and not the least bit vintage, although I have seen some bits and
pieces appearing in charity shops over the last year. I still like it, though, and its done a grand
job over the years.
There was a short pause ...
Wife "Shame we've no got a computer."
I got the bus into town today as it was raining ...
again! The bus stop is at the opposite
end of town from where I usually start my charity shop trawl. It felt very strange approaching the shops
from the other end of town and visiting them in a different order! Didn't realise I was such a creature of habit! Do you have a usual route or order when you go charity shopping? I've just realised that I even go round the shop exactly the same way each time! Oh dear!
Did get a laugh, though.
I was in one of those charity shops that sell furniture and a wee
pensioner couple were looking around.
Wife to hubby "That's
a nice wee computer table, i'nt it?"
Hubby "Aye,
no bad."There was a short pause ...
Wife "Shame we've no got a computer."
And they wandered on.
It was just one of those perfect moments!
Absolutely no luck charity shopping today. The £30 tea set was still there (2 months,
now) and the plastic basket of china was still as full and awkwardly placed as
ever!
Think I'm going to give up collecting china, it is becoming too expensive. I'll leave it to the experts. Hope you had better luck today!
Love, Liz

I'm sure you will always keep your eye out for vintage china, Liz, but discriminate on the basis of cost - there will always be the occasional bargain to be had. xxx
I have the same routine, too.
I'm sure you'll find a bargain eventually. xxx
