eye spy : a collection


I'm drawn to old china. Tea cups in particular. Tea tastes better from a cup and saucer, don't you think?

Chips, cracks and crazing just add to the appeal.

I've been given a lot of lovely pieces by the grandmothers in my life. Pieces I treasure.

Here's a peep in my china cabinet.

You can see some other eye spy collections right
here . . . or another collection of mine here.
