Tea on Tuesday


This cup and saucer is from a service for 8. It also came with a serving bowl and platter and it was the bargain of last summer's yard sale adventures! Never guess what I paid?.......Eight lovely dollars! Yes, only $8 for the entire set! I was so excited I could not get to the car fast enough; I was so afraid the lady would change her mind! It says on the back that it is called Heritage Hall- Ironstone Made in England. Most of the pieces have different houses on them and the platter has a plantation on it. I just love having tea in these cups! I love a great bargain and the thrill of the hunt! I hope everyone is warm and toasty on this Tea for Tuesday-Tea on Tuesday and Teacup Tuesday ( I just love Tuesday's!)

  3. what a great find! My grandmother had a set like that - I used to love looking at that little village scene and imagining myself way back in the "olden days."

    I hope your day is a sweet one!

  6. That was a terrific find. The teacup is so pretty with its cottage scene and pretty stylized flower spray inside the cup.
