Moody St. in Waltham is a good place for antique/vintage shopping.
It was last year for the first time I visited an antique store, Downstairs at Felton Antiques. They have a lot of jewelries, teacups, crystal glasses etc. A fun place to spend some time.
I bought 2 teacups and one Christmas wreath brooch.
These teacup are all Aynsley England. I researched about their logo also their current website, and found out that the yellow one is a modern one, but still beautiful and it was a good price.
This is my only one (so far) and the best Christmas brooch! It is so cute and detailed. I bought this one in last November, and truly enjoyed for a month till the Christmas ended ;)
I’m in love with this teacup! I bought a set of two from this etsy shop. It makes me think of the sort of charming rustic stoneware a hobbit would use for their tea (okay, maybe I’m just super excited for The Hobbit this winter, but STILL.)
(Both of the couple really like tea, and it is a thing that we have long enjoyed spending time mulling over, with life the universe and everything! I have some awesome friends :) ) Her current favourite is Blue Star Earl Grey (from a local shop that specializes in loose leaf teas of all kinds!). Mine is standard “gumboot tea” (as we call it in New Zealand at least, meaning both ‘bog standard ordinary teabags, and something so strong it could have been brewed in one.) I’m also fond of Chai, and Lady Grey, and Yorkshire tea too. And Dragon Well (Lung Ching), Peppermint/ginger/green as a combo, Sleepytime/Chamomile and current oddity, Feijoa tea.
(Day 14, absent on the tumblr, was a hasty scribble of a parrot in a spacesuit on the moon, which I have not posted here. But your imagination can do much better! <3 ) Cheers.
