Tuesday Treasures

I've collected Portmeirion china for close to 40 years.  I find everything about it utterly charming.  My favourite design is Botanic Garden which was first available in 1972 and is still available now.  Even on special it's a bit of a treat for me so I've slowly added pieces as I could afford them.
Here's just a taste.
 Do you have something you treasure which you would like to share with us.  It can be a collection, an individual item, a place, a person, a pet or even a thought or concept.  Please pop your details into Mr Linky and join in the fun.

    That china is exquisite Melody. Every time you get to buy a piece it must be like Christmas. I would be grinning from ear to ear too! Tracee xx

    Hello Meldoy,

    A beautiful collection and so handy that it is still being produced. You get to have your own Botanic Garden in your home.
    Happy days.

    Hi Melody, Your set is beautiful. I love most of the botanical china available today. I like the way yours has the names of the flowers.
