So many, many years ago my grandmother brought me a cake on a serving plate from this set. She went home leaving the plate behind. Afterwards I kept saying to her that I needed to bring her plate back to her as it matched her tea set. She wasn't in a hurry for it and I would often travel on the train to visit her, so carrying a china plate wasn't easy. Then she passed away and the plate never got returned to the tea set. I haven't had the heart to throw it out, but it doesn't match anything I have so it has been in the cupboard for at least 20 years.

Sometimes these things are meant to be; hornetgirl left her box of goodies unsealed and it will easily fit in. Granny would have been delighted that it is being used and that it is being returned to her native Wales.

A beautiful story silvercar. I think it might just be fulfilling its destiny:)

That's a lovely thing to do and very fitting. If all those pieces of crockery could talk there would certainly be tales to be told.:)

Showed mum my cups yesterday and now know what to get her for her birthday:)
she has offered some cups and saucers I bought her about 25 years ago. The are not vintage (I got from a cheap shop) but they have the right look and shape.

will get parcel off next week when the other little bits arrive.

If Rhos is using the little Gu ramekins for Jam and cream mum said she is very happy to eat her way through some puddings. I know the ladies at art class often have these they re purpose so can ask.

Lovely surprise visit from N this afternoon:)

My brain is working overtime here and thinking perhaps she could make up a one off vintage piece as a gift for the bride and groom that perhaps we could contribute to....a little something to remember their day from the elite......

I havent been able to find anything other than the old naffi blue/green/yellow stuff anywhere near me but it doesn't mean that I havent been interested in whats going on and would love to show support another way if possible

That is a fab idea.
