Here is the china teaset I couldn't resist when I took books to Oxfam (see 16 and 17 Dec 2010).
I said then I was just 'hiring' it from Oxfam. I've used it twice, the rest of the time it's been taking up space I need in a box on the studio floor, so it's time for it to go back and find another rescuer, and for Oxfam to get another £4.99! (The decanter has already gone back, I've still got the delicate glass.)
I could have some fun with hiring from Oxfam....
How sentimental we get about stuff....it's very pretty though, isn't it? Remember those essays we had to write in primary school -The Story of a Penny ? I wonder what the story of this china is?
