I'm linking up with Melody today for her Tuesday Treasures.
I thought I would show you my Royal Albert Crazy Tea Set.
I started collecting these many years ago, way before I was married.
I would put a set away on lay-by, pay it off and
then lay-by another one!
The
one on the bottom shelf is also Royal Albert but is one with the side
plate attached to the saucer. This one I was lucky enough to receive my
from lovely Mother-In-Law when she was downsizing. Did you notice the
lovely tea trolley? My Mother-In-Law made this over 40 years ago. She
went to a night class at a local technical school.
I
have only used this tea set once! Before Noel and I got married (we
were engaged), I had a tea party here with my Mother, my Grandmother,
Noel's Mother and a very special lady known as "My Other Mother".
I
would love to have them on display on the trolley all the time but with
three boys (and a naughty dog) in the house, this is where they live. I
enjoyed taking them out of the cupboard today and I think I'll have to
arrange a tea party. Mel will have to come along as it's because of her
that I pulled them out! We can play "ladies"! Of course, we'll have
scones with jam and cream!

Hi Christine,
Love the china and the trolley, I have a collection of Royal Doulton and a beautiful tea set of Royal Albert, before Mum went into the Nursing Home when she would come to visit we would always play Tea each afernoon, teapot lovely china the works she even has her own Royal Doulton Coffee Mug at out place. Don't get much of a chance to use it now :( one day I will again, maybe when I retire. Love the trolley too, have a great day Pam
I'm love nothing more than a ladies tea party with you.
Love your collection. You really should organize that tea party these are too special to just look at.
Enjoy
Beautiful china, I can understand why you have to keep them locked away, (I have boys in the house too).
Hope you get around to arranging your afternoon tea party.

What a lovely set and the trolley is amazing. I enjoy using my good cup , saucer and plate sets for breakfast sometimes. It makes me fell like I am at a resort.
HI Christine, I share your love of pretty china, your set is gorgeous.
How clever of your Mum , making that Tea Trolley.

Beautiful china and I really love that trolley. I have some similar items that I take out when we gather for a stitch-in.
