Deserving gift..

Its been so long I didn't participate in Suzanne's Vintage Thingey Thursday, how I miss you Suzanne and the rest of the VTT girls.. I wish I had the time to participate in previous weeks.. but that was my wishful thinking, back then.. too many interventions happen.. (which to some girl friends I have, too bad so sad.. they just don't understand how busy I am juggling between work, my home, parent's home, my kids and my siblings.. sadly, my life is not like a bed of roses :-) )

Long story short, so now, I try to be here for this week's VTT and here are my share of the story..

Back in October, I was looking for a birthday gift and what could be a better gift to myself than this vintage child coffee set I found at Ms. Becky Roberts shop..

I always wanted a full Made in Japan coffee set to add to my collection.. and luck was with me.. when I found this set that didn't cost me arms & legs.. to own it..

and early this month, this set came at my door step.. yeah.. my belated birthday gift it seems.. lol..

what I like most about this set is that, the set came complete with six cups and saucers, coffee pot, creamer & sugar bowl.. which hardly happens.. and best part is that there was no chip at all.. all so delicate, light as fine bone china and so vintagey with bright pink/purple roses.. just stunning.. don't you think?

the cups are more like espresso cup..
which is small.. 3 1/4" wide X 2 1/4" height..
with gold lining around it..

and the bottom of the each items have a stamp JAPAN in blue..

Ohhh Just look at the coffeepot.. look at the roses..
really a beauty? don't you agree? hehehe..

each pieces has two different types of roses..
front & back..
as you can see in the pictures above..

All in all, this is one of the best birthday gifts I gave to myself.. after a long day at work, coming back home late at night, to see this set at the corner of my pink rack, just make my heart sing.. Thanks Becky for letting me have this beautiful set.. I still can't believe that this set has a new home..

Soooo don't forget to visit Suzanne's blog for more lovely stories..

I know this post kindda early.. but heck, I don't have that much time.. this is scheduled post after all..

till then girls.. I wish you all Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Holidays.. May you have a great celebration with love ones..

Adieu!
xoxo
