Crowning Glory

Last week, I shared this unique item that I found at a church sale. 
Many of you guessed that it was a cover of some sort which was half correct...

The crown was part of Emma Bridgewater's 2012 limited edition decorative jar that celebrated Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee. The commemorative jar was sold for 100 GBP but I only paid 50 cents for my souvenir crown because it was missing the jar bottom!

At the same church sale, I also purchased this James Sadler (Made in England) teapot for $5. I thought that the teapot was lilac in colour, but when I brought it home, it looked more like periwinkle blue. Does it look purple or blue to you?

The last treasure that I scored was this gorgeous embroidery for only $2!

I'd love to have these teapots in my cupboard!


I'm joining the following parties this week:

  2. Hi Margie,
    I'm sure that Ruth at Antiques and Teacups knew what the crown was from. Thank you for letting me know. I think the teapot looks blue too but a mauve one would be lovely. Sometimes my china changes colour under certain lights. Happy Tea Day My Friend! Karen
