Snap, those dishes are so precious...I love the tea cup for Will and Kate and the china with the purple on it is quite lovely...I think I have visual-stimulous overload :)

That's covering a lot of bases! And there is no harm in virtual window shopping either.

January 23, 2011 at 6:50 PM

How very lovely! You have some very beautiful and delicate pieces of china! Cathy

January 23, 2011 at 7:41 PM

January 23, 2011 at 8:04 PM

They are very pretty, nothing wrong with 'window' shopping.

January 23, 2011 at 8:14 PM

I'm waving back, Snap. All good wishes to you and Mr Dragon.

January 23, 2011 at 8:15 PM

Very beautiful china! And they make wonderful mosaics! ♥

January 23, 2011 at 8:23 PM

Some beautiful china shown.
I still have a big box of stuff on Lady Diana and from her marriage - no more royal collectibles for me.

January 23, 2011 at 8:33 PM

Virtual window shopping is the only kind of shopping I can afford to do. ;)

I love china. I thought this was all quite interesting! I've been watching those movies they came out with about Victoria so it is a bit fresh in the mind.

January 23, 2011 at 8:55 PM

Virtual shopping is one of my favorite things to do :)

Gorgeous items you happened across too!!

Have a wonderful week!!

Such beautiful tea sets! I love receiving catalogs in the mail and dreaming over items I like in them that I would like to buy. I hardly ever follow though, but it's fun to dream!

That is a beautiful cup! What a lovely design to commemorate them.
All the other china pieces are beautiful as well. It would be hard to pass some of these up!
