Pinterest has an awful habit of getting you addicted to some things: baked goods, clothing items (I’ve had lustings for sequins and burgundy to name but two) and more recently blue china.

Luckily visits to the carboot have been very fruitful of late and I am building a lovely collection with Victorian bowls and a small collection of plates and tea cups.  The bowl I picked up in a local charity shop.  It seems less like china but I loved the simple pattern.

This weekend I was able to pick up a few more tea cups (with mismatched saucers), a small jug and a really old small serving plate.

I also picked up a random reddy-brown tea cup set too.

Now all I need is to find a teapot and I can have friends around for a fancy tea party.
