Hi Dear Folk,
It is snowing again for the third time this week and it is really coming down, hope the commute home is OK, and trains are running on time.
As I mentioned the other day I visited my friend for lunch and this is what she gave me. Do love my china.
A Denby Albert College Spring Design, just a few pieces. I like to have a pot of tea and try out all my odd cups. I love the shape of the milk jug and sugar bowl in this design. In fact I like Denby as a whole, some designs are so reminiscent of the sixties.
The other big gift was the Royal Albert County Rose. The china of my childhood. This had to be their most popular design ever. Almost everyone had this when I was a child and I still love it just as much.
I had a few wedding pieces, never a whole set. A pedestal cake plate from auntie Gladys a family friend. Six mugs from Barbara and a set of small desert dishes with a larger serving bowl from my mum, and a few odd pieces I had picked up. I would intersperse this with a cheaper white dinner service I bought with a gold edge.
With this I positively do have a complete set. Even have a matching rose tablecloth.
Now I'm going to clean out my hutch to hold this. Fun, fun.
Quite a gift.

Such lovely gifts. The china is so beautiful. I have my Mother's wedding china. We never use it in fear we will break it but I do have it displayed in my dining room.
ReplyDeleteYour china is beautiful and now you have even more options for table settings. I only have one dinner service as I have nowhere else to put more.
