Last week, Mr. L and I went to beautiful Niagara on the Lake to visit the even lovlier Prince of Wales Hotel for afternoon tea.
IT WAS WONDERFUL!
One of the things I like best, besides the charming ambiance, the delicious food, the nice strong cups of tea, is the china. I wondered what it was, turned my saucer over, but didn't see any marking. : (
So there I was last night, flipping through the latest issue of Teatime Magazine and there it was--featured in a story. Oh boy, you never saw someone flip to the products page so fast in your life. It said they had obtained the china from Replacements Ltd.
Hey! Over the years I've bought a bunch of china from Replacements Ltd. Of course, I didn't like the price they quoted so I went online to see if I could do better. Damn. It was the same price. Still, I went ahead and ordered ONE cup and saucer. I love the pattern so much I had to have it so that I can drink my tea from it and think about those lovely afternoons at the Prince of Wales.
What do you think?
Ooooo ... very nice!! Love the delicate vines/flowers on the cup and the stronger design on the saucer. So lovely, makes me wish I liked tea! ::weak grin:: I've tried, just can't get my taste buds revved up. Can tolerate coffee in the morning, but after that I go for cold drinks ... diet Coke/Pepsi or milk or water. *sigh* Just not very exciting, am I? Glad to hear you're enjoying your tea and lovely china!
