Dainty gold trimmed cup.

Ever since I was given my grandma's china, I cannot get pretty dishes out of my mind. I may have spent a good portion of "me time" looking at ways to display china on various vintage blogs and design images. And I may have gotten lost in types of china, color combinations, and hand painted detailing. And I definitely may have felt rather girly and ready to meet up for tea and crumpets. Growing up I would often imagine that I was Alice (in Wonderland), so maybe that is why I have a hidden love for tea party accessories. Regardless, no one can deny the femininity of a delicate hand painted rose on gold trimmed bone china. And no one can deny a good deal. I bought this tonight for $0.49. Yes, thats right, forty nine cents. Isn't it lovely?
Made in England

Cheerio!

(And for those of you that look forward to my posts, next up is a DIY guest entry!)

    1. You can get lost on design blogs for hours looking at china (a warning!). I also love how there is character and history to it. Thanks for reading my post!

  3. Thrift stores are the best! I love looking at Anthropologie and Restoration Hardware for inspiration and then working the magic of paint and elbow grease to transform a thrift store find. I am loving your blog Lauren! You update it so often!
