Today I am playing for the first time in 'Show and Tell Sunday' hosted by Analise of Sugar Sugar, today its all about china, crystal and silver, well I don't have any silver or crystal but I do have china. I love tea sets, I have four that I would call complete or semi complete, then I have 1 trio. This is all my tea sets together including the trio.
The first one I bought was this gorgeous Blue Roses one by Royal vale, I have had it about 15 years, it cost me much more than I would be prepared to pay today.
This beautiful yellow one I picked up from an Oxfam shop about 6 months ago, its a ridgeway design and so summery.
I also got this autumnal one from the same Oxfam shop about 2 weeks ago, its another Royal vale one, but only came with the plates, cups and saucers, no milk jug, sugar bowl or cake plate.
I think this one is my favourite at the moment though, I bought it yesterday from the Willow Wood Hospice shop, its our local hospice, it only cost £4.99 and came with the milk jug, sugar bowl and cake plate, another Royal Vale and its so pretty, the blue doesn't look as lovely in the pics but is a gorgeous perriwinkle blue.
And finally, my trio, I got this from (yet another) charity shop, I think it was Marie Curie about 2 weeks ago, when I had finished my shelves, I wanted something pretty and pink for them and it was only £1.99 too.

What lovely dishes, my favourite is the ones with the blue bachelor buttons too!
Hospital thrifts are some of the best places for true vintage stuff. But I'm a equal opportunity thrift shopper =) Blessings... Polly
Don`t you just love a good charity shop find? I swear I`d live in one if I could.

Such beautiful pieces show up at your thrift shops! Those blue flowers are so pretty--are they cornflowers? (I remember periwinkle and cornflower blue were two of my favorite crayons.) I like how you have different sets for different seasons. Glad you joined in this week.
Those are all so dainty and sweet!
