Bona Fide Finer China - Regency Teacup Trio

I am a sucker for pretty china teacups and on my travels yesterday I picked up this beautiful trio.  It's Regency English bone china with a gorgeous Lilly of the Vally pattern.

It is so dainty and sweet, perfect to have my favourite brew Yorkshire Tea in.




There's also a host of ideas of what to do with teacups if you don't drink tea!

Stelton of Denmark Lazy Susan

This has now been unused for over 5 years so the time has come to part with it, we just don't have the space for things that aren't getting used with two children here now.


It's in beautiful condition and I'm so sad to be parting with it, it is just beautiful.


I love the stainless steel on wood


So much nicer to look at than plastic Thomas the Tank plates!  Apparently they are called Lazy Susan's as maids were called Susan's and these were named in reference to them being lazy.

This one was my mum's so I'm guessing a purchase from the 80s in the UK and it came with me five years ago to Australia.

Oh well times change, I wonder if I end up changing my mind and keeping it!  I may sleep on it!
