In helping my Gran last weekend to spring clean her china cupboard I ended up with some more china. Tom gets much kudos for doing all the actual work washing up every cup, plate and bowl in Grandma's hutch while she and I discussed the origins of each piece.
Grandma was kind enough to give me the tea set her parents were given as a wedding gift when they married in 1906. I insisted that she make this my birthday present this year which she reluctantly agreed to.
For me this is a wonderful gift. It has huge sentimental value to me because of it's history. As a lover of antique fine bone china I think the set is truly delightful. I will take some photos and post them soon.

Pictures! I want to see pictures!
Me too!
Your blog's looking nice, too.
Pictures!
And hey, nice blog revamp. :)
yay for Granny!
Love the new blog format and yes, I want pictures. Although if the tea set was given in 1906, surely it can't be considered NEW china?
