I thought I'd share a bit more of my
Portmeirion china collection today for Tuesday Treasures. This is mainly from the Botanic Garden range, which is my favourite. I can't resist lovely china and I've been collecting this range since it was released in 1972. Normally I like older, more delicate pieces but there is something about this range which I find very appealing. I love the botanical drawing style of the decoration and the detail included.
Do you have something you treasure to share with us today. It can be a thing, a place, a person. Even an idea, a concept or a dream. Anything which is important to you. Please pop your details into Mr Linky and join in the fun.
Only a short post today as I'm off to Kilmore for the last meeting of Kilmore Quilters before our quilt show. Of course you'll will hear more about this event in the weeks to come.
Once again Melody I am in awe, your house must be a delight. I am saying this at this is something I aspire to. Everytime you post something about your house, I think "I could do that" thanks for the inspiration.

ReplyDeleteMelody - I too love the Botanic Range of Portmeirion!! I have a niece who actually has this whole set for her every day dishes!! I agree with Larain - you must have a delightful home!! Kris
ReplyDeleteSwoon...the Botanic range is a favourite of mine. I have several pieces that I've collected and been given. My SIL in the UK sometimes sends me something for my Birthday.
ReplyDeleteOh Melody, I saw a few of these the other day in an antique shop! They were all plates, and I really liked the one with the passion fruit flowers on it. If you'd like me to, I can check the prices of them for you.
ReplyDeleteI am going to look out for this range now Mel, I don't think I have ever noticed it before..

ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful collection Melody. The botanical drawings are exquisite. Your display shelf is very lovely too- perfect for your collection.
ReplyDeleteHi Melody, I come from Stoke on Trent where they make all that fabulous crockery. Portmeirion have a fabulous factory shop where you can buy some great bargains. I have some of that range too.
ReplyDeleteYour china is beautiful and looks wonderful displayed in your shelf. The bee hive needle case from the previous post is beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteLove your china. In fact, l had some girlfiends for lunch today and used my plates. l bought most of mine at that factory outlet Shirley mentioned, and had them shipped home without a break.
