We went to a Vintage fair on Bank Holiday Monday and I took the opportunity to stock up on some household essentials.
Teacups, teapots and side plates are quite common in charity shops but it can be difficult to find the right pattern to suit your home and your tastes. I prefer not to try and find entire sets, not just because of the rarity of a complete sets, but because it’s easier to replace odd teacups after breakages, than it is to try and find one to fit into a set. It also means that you can be a bit more creative with table decorations.
My purchases…
I bought two of these pretty purple teacups and saucers.
A lovely blue patterned set of two teacups, three side plates and two bowls.
A wonderful white work tea cosy.
Two delightful glass bottles. Both missing corks but they’re easy enough to find. One is an old fashioned medicine bottle.
