In Sunday am I was washing my cup carefully by hand after two lovely cuppa's and the handle fell off - I was devastated! So back to ebay I might have to bid now instead of 'watching'. I have lots of vintage cups and saucers but these are nice big ones. Whilst searching I also found you can get the Hollyhocks in just blue flowers as well. I went to a Vintage and Retro Fair yesterday in Durham and found a trio for £2!Alchamillamollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01530018036194322467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772532068403786265.post-10141620985871267472009-05-05T08:04:00.000+01:002009-05-05T08:04:00.000+01:00Methinks that must be Castle Combe m'lady!

Have sown seeds for new ones though, they are so "English Country Garden" aren't they? In the Yorkshire town where I spent most of my teenagehood, the railway station master used to grow them and whenever you stood on the railway platform you could see them. Lovely, lovely things... xmenopausalmusinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255069917743230560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772532068403786265.post-7180397561307153492009-05-04T06:55:00.000+01:002009-05-04T06:55:00.000+01:00That's so funny!

I NEARLY painted a similar design of a cottage-type garden on an old garage door we had, but as the door was rotten and was going to be replaced, I decided not too. I just painted the gate rainblow colours instead.Flosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098894367955345944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772532068403786265.post-24900584139191397382009-05-03T19:22:00.000+01:002009-05-03T19:22:00.000+01:00I wonder what she had been up to??!!!
