My Place and Yours :: My Collection

Kate from Foxes Lane is this weeks theme queen and gosh has she picked a fun theme - Collections!

There are lots of things I could have shared but I've settled on teacups. My collection is a combination of pieces I have from my Mum's and Grandmother's collection, some are new, some are thrifted and some were presents. All have lovely stories behind them.
Next is our pin board. I collect lots of things here. I like to think of it as an archive of our lives. It has postcards, birthday and wedding invitations, letters, exhibition invites and lots of things that make me smile. If you look close you can see a photo of MrG and our niece Olivia.

Thanks for stopping by! You can see some other lovely collections over at Pip's Cherry x

lovely tea cups. I remember the brown owls tea drinking photoshoot at your mums place. I was just so envious of her collection, now envious of yours! I really need a nice space for an inspiration wall. Chiristmas holiday DIY project I say! I love the overflowingness (is that a word?) of yours x

Lovely tea cups - my favourite the second last tea service in blue & white - lovely floral and the butterfly is delightful.
You've got one very special collection there.

Such fantastic teacups! I hope you do drink out of them, and not just on special occasions. They are too lovely not to be used at every opportunity! Thanks for sharing!
