I've mentioned before that my middle son manages a townhouse complex. Often people move out and leave unwanted things behind. In this case a woman died and no one wanted these teapots and matching cream & sugar bowls so knowing how I love dishes he brought them home.
I needed to rearrange some things and put others in the 'donate' box to make room for the new pieces. That's what I've been working at today.
This second set was made in Japan and includes 3 cups.
I emptied the two bottom shelves of my green baker's rack and arranged them on the bottom shelf.
Rearranging my dishes was the perfect way to spend a rainy day.
Thanks for visiting,
Granny Marigold
How thoughtful of your son. The sets are lovely.
ReplyDeleteoh so sad when no one wants such beautiful tea sets! really exquisite!!! God bless that newly departed soul! <3
ReplyDeleteYour son saved some wonderful tea sets for you and that is an attractive way to display them.
ReplyDeleteIt seems a rainy day makes us all want to do what we like best. You have some beautiful tea sets and have them arranged so nicely. Thanks for the comment you left on my blog. I have never heard of hummingbirds staying through the winter. I really hope none of mine decide to stay, even though I love them dearly. I need a little rest from boiling sugar water and cleaning feeders! :~)
ReplyDeleteI love the Japanese one! very nice. Good to do something when it's rainy!
ReplyDeleteOh they are just lovely!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful...so nice that your son remembered your love of them.
ReplyDeleteWow … love your new teapots, sugars and creamers and cups. Aren't you lucky! I also love your big spider plant! I have such a little one and it never seems to grow much. Your new arrangement looks great!
ReplyDeleteHow very considerate of your son! And they're both beautiful, but I especially like the Japanese set. I too use a baker's rack to display my tea sets.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Linda
Hi! You have so many lovely tea sets and dishes! I would enjoy more except I don't really have room. Thanks for sharing yours! Nancy
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tea sets! I'm also partial to the Japanese set!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty sets! :)
ReplyDeleteI've never seen anything like that Japanese set - very nice. I was interested to hear mention of your "donate" box because I always wonder HOW you manage to fit all these new dishes into your cupboards. I do love dishes and had to give a bunch away recently, because I have two hutches and very little cupboard space. I'm trying not to buy any for a while...
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a very peaceful way to spend a day! Lovely. That Japanese set is just delightful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a bonus!! I really love the Japanese tea set, but they're both beautiful! My baker's rack has the same type of curleques on the sides. I got it free from someone a couple years ago, cleaned it up good and repainted it. ♥
