This is my.....

this is.....my collection!
well, one of them anyway!! Like Hyena in Petticoats and Starashan I Love teacups. Dainty ladies tea cups. I especially love pulling them out for a girls "high tea". I love the look of a mis-matched tea set. but I also collect figurines and mini viewers that I posted about here and vintage cards, books, buttons, and "little things" like I have pocket versions of uno, operation and etch-a-sketch.

I really am slck with posting on time with this game. Sorry girls!!

This is my.....

favourite tea cup...

I've jumped on another bandwagon and started to play the "this is my fave...." game over here at Three Buttons...
this teacup / sacuer set and strainer were given to me my a very dear friend. I have some lovely vintage teacups and saucers, but I think the fact that this one was given with lots of love makes it all the more special...and the tea tastes beautiful out if it - especially if I'm sitting out on the balcony reading a good book!

30 days of the Everyday...day seven

tea time on the balcony....mr honi found great amusement in my oversized teacup planter..

he wants to have people over for tea just so he can ask them if they want a small or large cup...

Thrifting Goodness..

I had a lovely stroll around the Rozelle Markets today- I haven't been there in yonks. The LNB (lovely new boy) came with me - in fact it was his suggestion!!! (what a find ;)!! )

I was drawn to purchase a million goodies, but restrained myself to the following items

2 Sweet little teacups and saucers - $2 each!!! They are so delicate - they're almost "dolls tea party" sized.

A set of floral print vintage cigarette cards. They were a little exy at $20 for the pack, but I just couldn't go past them!!

A Camellia (spl?) Tin for $5. It's a little damaged, but I just adored the colours. The pictures don't really do it justice, but they're really vivid blues and fuchsias.

And last but not least, a vintage (can 80's be called vintage yet???) Woman's Weekly Cookbook. My mum has this one too - and I cook a mean Strawberry Shortcake from it, so I decided to buy one for myself.

However, despite the Strawberry Shortcake recipe in it, I REALLY bought it for the killer recipe for "Brawn" in it.


One night, one of my girlfriends and I literally nearly wet ourselves reading the description...



mmmmmm...Yum. Come Summer, I'll be cooking some old fashioned Brawn
