A couple of weeks ago there were only two of the usual house clearance people selling but in one box were some pieces of my everyday crockery, the now quite vintage(is 1980s vintage?) Johnson Brothers Summer Chintz. There were some teeny weeny espresso coffee cups and saucers - didn't need them - I like my coffee in Big mugs. Some normal sized cups and saucers - didn't need them - I had some once - very long time ago - but never use cups and saucers now - also in the box was a teapot, another thing I had once but didn't keep. I do still have one other teapot but nowadays it's just tea-bag in the mug for a cup of tea - the Victorians and my late Mum would have been horrified.
But then I saw a little ½ pint jug, a size I'd never had before and I didn't really need but found myself buying it for £1 anyway.
Why?
It's probably a good thing that the car-boot season has nearly finished!

Just because is the answer😊
ReplyDeleteSummer Chintz - remember it well, in fact still using a couple of their dinner plates and smaller side plates. Several of my work colleagues 20+ years ago also had cups, saucers and plates from that range.
ReplyDeleteBecause somewhere deep inside the 'teabag in a mug' Sue there's another Sue who yearns for a teatray with a snowy cloth, set with teapot, cup and saucer and milk in a jug, carried through to a perfect place for morning tea?
ReplyDeleteWhy not!

It's pretty and useful, so it ticks two boxes on your must have list and at £1, that's winning all round. My mum hated to see teabags in a cup always used a teapot and we always had a saucer even with a mug.
ReplyDeleteBecause in my mind you can never have too many jugs, especially pretty ones.
