(108)2014 - Arabia Finland -

It was meant to be.

I booked a doctor appt at the wrong address so had to drive across town and walk... which lead me past a new to me charity shop... which lead me to this:

A complete 6 seating set!

6 dinner plates, 6 bowls (bit small, but hey, too many carbs are bad for you), 6 side plates and 6 mugs

with saucers.  Because we are posh like that, dahhhling!

 

Aren't just perfect for Autumn.?  Yes, of course I always match my crockery to the season... ahem... not...

According to the Arabia's website this pattern 'OTSO'  was manufactured between 1971 and 1985.  I'm very relieved it's not old (I'm older, therefore it's definitively not old), I can use the lot without holding my breath everytime I pick something up.

Phew.

(Now... where on earth can I put it?)

That's lush! Just love a tour of the charity shops to find all sorts of things I never knew I needed!

If it's dishwasher proof it can't be that old. I am woefully ignorant about china but I do wish my gran's Portmeirion Totem tea service had not been lost.

love it! and now I have the perfect excuse for another tea set, I don't have an autumn one!

That's a brilliant find. Like you, I'm running out of space for those lovely charity shop finds
