All the fun of the fair in china form - marvellous!
You could then rummage round and find an old children's pop up book (I do like these..cough, cough) - this is one of a long series of books and I used to have this permanently open on our dining table for us to 'ooo' and 'ahhh' over.
All this within the pages of a book - marvellous again! In one of these books pops up a castle, cottage and horse and carriage!!!! You may recall my vintage pop-up Christmas pudding - if not I will get it out again at Christmas time!!
Oh go on then - I will add in my favourite WI tablecloth for good measure - reminds me of the local church fete when I was little; incidentally I still have some of the things that I bought there as a child: several R Whites wooden crates for lemonade (what the heck sort of a child was I !!!) and my lovely Arts and Crafts enamelled tea caddy (the one thing that I will never get rid of).
Tra la la, fiddle de dee, off I go to make some tea...
Perhaps I should have held back until the summer....

ReplyDeleteHello dear Jenny! I love your cheerful dishes! What a wonderful set to find too! I got tickled at what you said about Dom! hee hee! The children's pop up book is fantastic! Such detail! I love the tablecloth! What a lovely, happy scene and the colors are beautiful! You have the most wonderful vintage collections! I think it is fabulous that you began buying vintage things as a child. It wasn't until after I had my son that I discovered vintage goodies! What was wrong with me all those years??? :) Much love, Paula xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you all for kind comments - I am running out of hiding spaces and the bed is now several inches higher off the ground than it used to be, few clothes actually in wardrobes and all corners full....oh dearie, dearie me...
ReplyDeletePaula - it is possibly a good thing that you have more recently discovered the joy of older things...my house increasingly takes on the appearance of a scrap yard I fear whilst your home has the freshness of newly made linen.
