Cherished collections.

Casey from Elegant Musings is running a blog tour, and I am lucky to be part of it. The theme Casey chose was "cherished collections" and bloggers were asked to show collections that are precious to them - whatever the items might be!

I thought this would be a good way to get myself back into the blogging grove after our move. Today I am only able to show you one of my collections, as I am currently using my laptop through the internet on my iphone - not a lot of data and a pretty weak signal :-(

Once we have internet (and I am able to upload lots more pics) I will show you the others.

This is my Royal Doulton Tea Trio's collection. Most of these I have purchased through eBay, both Australia and internationally. I adore tea trios. I think they are soooo feminine and I love the vintage designs.

    They're so pretty! I love tea cups and teapots and cute little kitchen-y things like that :)

    I collect teacups but had never heard of a teacup trio before. These are lovely.

    I love collecting teacups as well! I think by accident I managed to collect a few trios. Now I know what they are! :D

    These are absolutely charming. Like Casey, I am not familiar with the "trio's." What a great idea. Do you use them? thanks for sharing. Corinne

    Trios? I did NOT need to learn about these! They're beautiful. What a wonderful collection. "Showers" is especially nice. I've never seen anything like it.

    Wow, they're all so beautiful! I think my favorites are the 1930's designs though. Thanks for sharing!

    These are lovely! I didn't know about "tea trios". I especially like the earliest ones, from the 20s and 30s. My favorite is the first one you're showing, I love the colors.
