More Winchester Fun

After having a great time at the Apple tea, my mother and I went to a favorite antique store in Winchester.  I saw some great teacups:


 
I managed to refrain from buying any, but I did get a couple of cream soups for a good price so I would have about ten or so.  Obviously my new area of interest is serving a soup at my next tea--we'll see what happens!  I actually don't usually buy teacups--they have to be a terrific deal.  My collecting "habit" is three piece sets (tea trios).
 

When I was walking down from the upstairs room and I also saw this chandelier:

 
It's teacups and saucers!  This would be adorable in a tearoom.

  1. Attending a real tea, creates a desire for seeing more teacups. Your first photos is a Royal Albert cup. In the second photo (on far left) are two Paragon cups which display the lovely flower design at bottom of cup. Oh my on the teacup chandelier. Trios are nice, but can be a challenge to find at reasonable prices.
