T Stands for Treasure

I'm getting in just under the wire here for T Stands for Tuesday, hosted by the lovely Elizabeth. Well, 'under the wire' is a little exageration, as it isn't quite midnight, but it is nearly 8pm, so I think I will be last in.

I told Elizabeth that I probably wouldn't be able to join in this week, but then I remembered, that whilst hunting for some books for me in the loft (attic), at the weekend, my dear hubs 'found' a tea set that we thought 'lost' - (it's a large loft) - so I am delighted to share it with you here today.


I have had this tea set since 1973. It is a Royal Stuart, Spencer Stevenson, Harlequin tea set, made in England, circa 1951. It was my grandmother's. I remember dusting it lovingly as a child and saying how much I liked it. I never dreamt it would be bequeathed to me.  It was never used, has never been used and is still in perfect condition.
I love this tea set.
Happy T day everyone! :D


Until next time....................
.................thanks for popping by to say 'Hi' **hugs** :o) x

  7. Stunning tea set. I can see why it was a favorite of yours. The reason it's in perfect condition is BECAUSE it has never been used (grin).

    Sorry I'm late getting here, because it's after midnight your time. I've been cleaning drawers all day. I was SO glad to see you made it and you can post anytime. But I'm glad you made it sooner rather than later, because I truly love this set of cups and saucers. Thanks for sharing them with us for T this week.

  8. I'm not sure I'd have the willpower to just look at them. It's all I can do to keep from google searching that pattern so I can have a yellow one just like yours ;)

  10. Your tea set is gorgeous Mo, I too have a set from my Grandmother, very similar shape, but with patterns on mine. I would be terrified to use it! Hugs, Anne xx

    1. I know what you mean Anne. I want to use one of the cups, but am so scared of damaging it, I probably never will. Which, in a way, is kind of silly, because it was intended for use originally and no-one else in my family is interested in it. And what will happen to it 'at the end of the day'? Probably go to a charity shop. Ahh, the dilemmas caused by sentimentality ;) Haha
      ((hugs)) xx

    1. Thank you for your visit :D The tea-set is precious, but perhaps, too much so; after-all, it's intention, was to be used. *sigh*
