This tall glass is actually a candle that matches the colour of the roses perfectly.
I love cups all stacked up like this - especially when they are this pretty!!
The chintz plates are really my all time favourite - if I could have a complete dinner set like this I would be in heaven!
I have matching placemats and coasters in two different sizes - it is amazing how many accessories there are too match.
Even a guest book - please take the time to leave me a message. lol
More cups piled high.
No table would be complete without the matching salt and pepper shakers, sugar bowl and creamer. We received this beautiful sugar spoon as a wedding present - it has a beautiful rose on the end.
Platters in all shapes and sizes...
Even a pretty little cake stand - once again I have been baking (not)!!
How stunning is this chintz?? I love this in any colour - not that I have any but I have seen lots in antique shops. On my wish list.....
This china is also Royal Albert Old Country Roses but in a more country style - not quite as dainty as the other.
I had intentions of painting this old dresser before I showed any photos but as usual time just gets away. I still intend painting it so I will keep you posted and show it to you once it is finished.

Love it. My mom has this pattern in blue. Her favorite color.
How nice that you chose some beautiful china to remember your father by. The pattern is a favourite of many and it's good that you can find pieces to match.
The chintz plate is so pretty, maybe you'll find more to go along with it too.
Gorgeous collection of Old Country Roses. J's Aunt Ruth has a collection also.
This post reminds me, we need to stop by, next time we are in her neck of the woods.
I love this pattern. Pretty post!
Good morning Suzy,
Your Old Country Roses is simply exquisite! How lovely you have so many pieces. I especially love the chintzy ones; teacups are darling! OCR was my father's favourite too and whenever I see them I automatically think of him. I look forward to seeing what you do to the cabinet. Thank you for sharing your beautiful china today and thank you for joining me for tea. Have a wonderful week.
Blessings,
Sandi
What a beautiful collection! What's fun is, you can find old and new pieces!
Good morning Suzy,

Drop "over" if you have time.
Warm hugs, Laura

How beautiful!!! And, how special for you. I'm sure your father would be pleased. Happy Tea Day!

How beautiful it all is. And what a precious treasure because it is something you got out of your father's last gift to you... I love the chintz pieces. They are exquisite... I can see why you love them. Thanks for sharing a very special post today with us. Your dad would be very happy that you have something you love.
Suzy, these are gorgeous photos! I love your choice of commemorative china. Old Country Roses has been around so long, and is still a gorgeous pattern to use.
I love Chintz as well. Always so cheery and pretty at the same time.
Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Hugs,
Terri
Oh, Suzy! It's fabulous! I have Old Country Roses but I've just begun collecting so have a long ways to go. I was fortunate to get several place settings for a good price on eBay. Your china is stunning; it reaffirms that I made a good china choice! Have a wonderful week!
Blessings, Beth
I have loved this pattern for many years and have just a few pieces, building my collection one piece at a time. What a delightful way to spend the money your dad wanted you to have - I think it's a lovely tribute, and a beautiful set!
Dear One,
Such lovely dishes...something to truly enjoy looking at and using. The dishes can sure set a mood and what a sweet mood you could set!
God bless and may you have a sweet life,

Oh, my goodness, Suzy! I'm in hog heaven just seeing your gorgeous gorgeous china! This pattern has always been on my wish list! You have so many lovely pieces that I've never seen before! Love the pretty platters and the two different designs together! Oh, I do have the little salt and peppers! I found them for a song and just had to have them.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
What a nice collection of beautiful dishes.
That's just a stunning set of china! Or should I say sets of china! I LOVE how you have them all displayed together...like a group of sisters all lined up for a photo shoot, all ages and sizes, a little bit different on each face, but generally the same look from the family about them! GORGEOUS!!!
Blessings, Doni
Old Country Rose, such a stunning and classic set! how nice of you to have a complete set of this flower. I have just a cup & saucer of the same. like you, i do love the chintzy ones.. they are just lovely dont they!

Know what my heart is doing right now, SuzyQ? It's going flutter, flutter, flutter! I have a set of Old Country Roses, too, gifted to me by my daughter. I did a post on it once. Those dishes are so lovely. I love your chintz, too. Is that in the Prince Royal Albert family, too? Oh my. "Gor-gee-ous." Susan
OMGoodness...this is an amazing collection of the most beautiful dishes. So so pretty....*sigh
Well you certainly have more than 3 of a kind here. Wow. Seriously were those cake slices real? They made my mouth water.
I think it is so fabulous that you bought yourself something special with the money your father worked so hard for. What a great gift.
A beautiful collection...the Welsh dresser is the perfect place to display all of your lovelies. Thank you for sharing your charming design. Cherry Kay
Your collection is very pretty...and what a nice way to remember your father.
Oh my the loveliness!!! My grandmother had the same dishes. I had forgotten all about them until I saw your post. Wonderful memories came flooding back after I saw the dishes. She did not have all the extra pieces you did tho. What wonderful pictures! Thanks for sharing .Lori L
Gorgeous and nice that you have it from your Dad so to speak! I have a friend who loves this pattern too and I buy her pieces as gifts to add into her collection.
Linda
Your Old Country Roses is just beautiful. It is so nice that you chose something that would alway be dear to you in memory of your dad. I'm sure you think of him every time you use them.
