Good things come in small packages

So i thought i might share with you a few of the things i have around the house that i love and I hope that you will love too. For a long time now i have been bringing home odds and sods that i just think are the best little things since sliced bread. Sometimes i pay good money for them but often they are cheap little trinkets found at op-shops that i cant believe someone could part with in the first place!
So these gorgeous little tea cups are just the right size for a little girls tea party, I will show you another pic so you get an idea of how small and pretty they are! I picked the 3 of them up for $6 but wouldn't part with them for $100. They haven't discovered their true purpose yet, at the moment they are encouraging the bookshelf to be more feminine but i have a vibe they will be used to light up a dull night with a few tealights inside....maybe next to the bath. The marking on the bottom says RIDGWAYS Lawley England so they have journeyed long and far to find a home with me. I imagine someone lovingly wrapping them in teatowels to get them over here safely by boat......
Tiny hey?? This pic reminds me of a strapping young gentleman helping a little old lady across the road...See, chivalry isn't dead, it's just played out in the world of tea and coffee.

Might go and put the kettle on now.....
