THE SEARCH IS OVER

For quite a few years I have looked for a

Welbeck tea set or at least the teapot that

was sold through Victoria Magazine back

in the l990's.  Last month was my birthday

and we went to Kansas City for the day. 

 

On the way back we stopped in a 

small town antique mall and look what I found:

I was beside my with happiness when I 

happened upon a booth with this set and

the seller had proudly displayed the

magazine pages where the Welbeck 

Chintzware was sold.  I got all the 

pieces above for $140.00.

Since it is the first "official" day of spring

I thought I would enjoy it in the kitchen.

When we lived in Colorado, there

was a woman who had a booth along

the feeder road flea markets in

Ft. Collins.  She wanted $150.00

for the Welbeck teapot.  I sure

wanted it but that was a lot of

money for me so I always looked

at it lovingly and passed it up.

Springtime is always a joyful

time to decorate with bunnies.

And of course pansies

are an expected item.

So how about you - are

you ready to decorate for spring?
