My weakness....dishes. I think I inherited it from my mother. I can't explain it. The red polka dot bowls were my grandmother's. The pastels have just been collected here and there (love those custard cups!). Teapots....oh my, I used to have so many more. I had to cut back, especially after moving a few times in the last five years.
Then, there are the turquoise and robin's egg blue items I am starting to add. I got the sugar bowl and s/p shaker set from my step-grandmother when I was just a teenager and hadn't yet begun my dish obsession back then. I found the Frankoma honey jar last year at Goodwill for a steal! Of course, I already had a honey jar (see below), so now I have started a whole new collection THERE!
And then......
Then.....there is the small Cameoware collection. I know, I know.....but they are so PRETTY!
Of course, then we have the blue/white collection. I've had this obsession for a long, looooong time. My first weakness. This is only a smattering of what I've collected over the years. I just don't have the room right now. The rest is all tucked away safely until I have more space.
LOVE those custard cups!
