Op shop show off
A very quick browse the other day landed me these lovely Staffordshire cups. Both the colour and design caught my eye. They were marked $4.00
I actually had to scratch up some loose change from the car as I only had $2.00 in my wallet! As I was stacking them up to purchase, the lady yelled out 'all crockery half price today'.
There was actually five pieces to the set but somehow by the time I got them home one of the the saucers had broken. I managed to find a similar random saucer in the cupboard and it made a sweet new home for this little jellybean plant.
Linking with Max and the other op shop show offs over here.

i love the colour and design of these. they make for a great display too. funnily enough i found my first piece of retro staffordshire pottery today, so excited!
Score! The jellybean plant in the cup looks perfect.
I have cup envy! They are the cup and saucer equivalent of the mugs I found last week. What a score!
Yes the design is so pretty. Would look amazing as a screen print too. imagine all the fabric turned into cushions and bags.

These cups would go perfectly in the Bach I stayed in this past weekend. Brown and orange, straight from 1972!
I love that last pic with the jellybean plant. mel x
Oh wow. What a lovely find. I love that you put some succulents in one of the cups.
These are soooo me! That would be right at home in my granny cabinet xo
