Thanks! I was so lucky to get the top 2, the second one the company sold out so fast that they never had enough to release in the US.

I haven't really had the drive to collect a full tea set, but I do have a lovely green tea cup and saucer from my Aunt Rose that was made in Occupied Japan. Your posts have really inspired me to become interested in collecting and especially being unafraid to be proud of a mix-matched set. For everyday tea times I usually use a simple asian style tea set with round cups without handles and a teapot with a little wicker handle ( ... )

That sounds like so much fun! My husband refuses to do the little tea stuff too for pretty much the same reasons.

The occupied Japan china is always so cute! I inherited a few sets from then myself. My sister bought me a book of finger food to eat with tea, it's all English weights and measures, but the recipes are great.... http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1845972058/ref=s9_asin_image_1-1966_g1/203-1009515-7595167?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=0Y6N6AWRYMMV3X3DS469&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=139042191&pf_rd_i=468294

I adore the sugar bowl and creamer! You have everything to serve a high tea now, save for tea and food. <3

There's never a shortage of tea in this house! I do want to try baking some different treats though to go with it all.

Would you believe I won the sugar and creamer set on Ebay for $2.40?
