You can never have enough...

With the exception of some inherited pieces, I have mostly thrifted and TM stuff, but now just about everything in there is there because I love it. I tossed all my non stick pans and found Simon Gault stainless steel (on TM) instead - gave the big one to the hospice shop and kept the small and the medium. They are excellent frypans and look good with the saucepans. The china is mostly blue and white mixed patterns, with a couple of pieces of my wedding china left. Those are very precious, but when they break, as china does, then that is the way things go. And my coffee mugs are Trademe scores, anything with William Morris patterns ends up on my watch list, and sometimes by my kettle, lol. I edited the utensils a while back, I swear those things breed, so now I just have the pieces I use all the time.

I might be developing a collection though, of linen teatowels with butterflies on them, which has sparked my friends into op shop hunting butterflies for me. One of those ladies will be amused when I tell her the teacup she gave me a week ago has two siblings and a teapot listed as a 'teaset' on TM for $80, lol... That is an optimistic seller in todays climate.

I have to exert some discipline though, I am a magpie for pretty things...
