Mairlyn Smith showcases her teacup collection in this cookbook. I recognize those with Royal Albert patterns (Silver Birch, Blossom Time, Petit Point) because these were prized by my aunts, great aunts and grandmother. Smith writes that if you follow her on Instagram, she posts hundreds of morning tea photos with #UseYourGoodStuff. “I know it‘s a cliché, but life is short and you can‘t take your fancy china with you when you go.”
Cathythoughts Lovely cup & saucer 💕 4y
LeahBergen I can immediately identify the old Royal Albert patterns, too. 😆 4y
Lindy @LeahBergen My paternal grandmother had a huge set of Old Country Roses, used for all family gatherings. My mother had the pattern called Celebration, but only because she was pressured by Grandma into selecting one. 4y
Lindy @Cathythoughts I like the Silver Birch pattern too. 😊 4y
