A Rosy Morning at the Salvos

I was thrilled to find a Royal Albert "American Beauty" cup and sandwich plate for $1.99 . I couldn't believe the price but it didn't have a saucer...PERFECT...as my collection had a set with saucer but no sandwich plate and I'm happy to have a spare cup. I couldn't believe the price but admittedly I was there first through the door and it wasn't even out the the shop lady's trolley yet before I grabbed it.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
THEN......I rummaged through the cutlery and found this little teaspoon and checked out it's mark and noticed it was German silver YAY!
 
 
 
 
 Sighhhhh....my morning was complete!

    Beautiful china - it's such a good feeling finding something like that (at that price!) isn't it?

      especially these days as the op-shops here are more price savvy

    What a lucky find, my Mother In Law had this china pattern and I loved the family dinners we shared on it. Happy hunting for your next treasure!

    I love this pattern. I have just one cup that I use over and over when I make candles for my own use or sometimes for tealights.

    Wow! Looks like it was your lucky day :) I'm happy for you about the cup and plate, but that spoon is amazing :) They do not do that kind of workmanship anymore.
    Have a lovely day,
    Your blogging sister, Connie :)

    Lovely tea service and spoon! But it's that header that really gets to me. I am such a map, globe, and graph nut! I can't seem to throw away maps, and have a whole huge boxful of them. I'll have to do a blog post on that some day. lol

    BEAUTIFUL tea set. :-)
