Camera emerges from Obscurity!

Hello to everyone I met at St Andrews on Saturday; apologies for my taking so long to write this post. My camera has been 'mislaid' for some time and wasn't to hand on the day of my first vintage fair of the year, so I have no pix of that. I met some lovely people who I hope to meet again in various capacities.
Having now found my camera, I took advantage of the fine weather today to take photos of some plates which may be of interest to some of the ladies I met.
This rectangular one is a Meakin, with a stylized floral decoration in a true mid century modern colour scheme - blue roses with grey foliage.
 
 There are some Midwinter Stylecraft 'squares' - a number of  willow catkins, one only of the citrus fruits. 
A Pyrex tray
A few of a style I call 'scenic', from different potteries. I have included a measuring tape for the lady who was concerned about finding plates of a sufficient size. 
Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to Gin in Teacups fair in the Queen's Hotel, Dundee, on March 10th.
Bye for now!

Waking up from Hibernation

This week the weather has started to brighten up and I have started to waken up.
Vintage and Handmade fairs are starting to appear on the horizon and - when I retrieve my camera - I'll have some new pix of some of the things I want to move on. I am determined to clear more living space this year.
I tidied a kitchen cupboard and found a tea set I knew I had and a very pretty floral one I had forgotten all about. As soon as I find my camera you'll see them.
Meanwhile, something better than pix of the Christmas flood!
