China

As in new and beautiful dinnerware. We have plates and such now! We tossed ours when we moved back from Bridgetown because a couple of kitties had broken a few items and there wasn't any sense bringing old broken stuff back. This was an early and unplanned purchase. And a steal of a deal ($30!). On our way to go to Zellers and then bowling (I'm an embarrassment to bowling, FYI), Jenny Babe's eagle eyes spotted a yard sale. Naturally we stopped to a have a peek. Due to the keen vision of a beautiful lady, Q and I now have something fancy. I'm not sure how old this china is, the gentleman who was holding the yard sale said that these belonged to his mother. I love the cool turquoise colour and the gold flourish. Beautiful!

Everything seems to be in great shape; although most of the sorbet bowls no longer have the gold flourish design and the tea cups and creamer have some wear-and-tear marks and cracks. I like the chips on the plate edges, lots of character.      :)

What kind of dinners did you present to that family, Plates? They all seemed to really enjoy dessert, evidenced by your sorbet bowl companions. I can't wait to clean you up all nice and shiny, give you a nice cupboard to sleep in and call home, and then bring you out to play when everyone comes over for good times and yummy eats. Oh yes, we will have many delicious meals together.

$30 for this whole gorgeous set! Unbelievable!

The sugar bowl, tea cups and saucers are my favourites. Although the coffee pot is pretty stunning......

Sorry for mega back and forth between good and crappy lighting, the most accurate true colour captured is the first photo in this post. Meh, I'll get good, one day.....

Oh my gosh, totally broke the 5 or less photo rule. Curses! Oh well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Well the next gigantor and megasaurus posts will be: wedding and new house. Promise.
