This gorgeous tea set was listed on eBay as "old Wedgwood," but if it isn't brand new, I'm not Eleanor Roosevelt. And except for a suspicious saucer, it is not marked Wedgwood, or anything else. However, I suspected as much when I bid on it, as I was the only bidder, and it cost next to nothing. But I wouldn't trade it for a bona fidey Wedgwood dinner service.
From now on, my only dealings with eBay will be getting money instead of spending it. This cures me, although I do love the set. The little crocheted doilies came with it, plus the beautiful little drawn-work hankie. The tray, the lamps, the 1950s tall glass and the pink Depression glass plates didn't--I've had those for many years. All in all, I'm satisfied. In fact, I'm ecstatic, and I plan every afternoon to serve tea to myself and anyone else in the vicinity. That is, after I get some kind of order restored to the rooms I've been busy wrecking.

Actually, yesterday I started what I thought was going to be a quilt, but I've decided to use my old Log Cabin quilt in the guest room, so I'll make it a throw.
