(yes, more posts) Well, that didn't work

[cupcake_goth]

Trying to leverage the backs of the rivets off? Yeah, that didn't work. Lip Service uses freakishly strong rivets or something. No, the fabric tore a bit, so I just opted for simplicity and cut around the rivets with an x-acto blade. I have some ideas for disguising the resulting holes, and will post photos when I'm done.

So instead, have a photo from when I took a break earlier:

what a pretty tea pot!

That teapot. I'm in love. What/where???? :)

While that teapot is quite amazing I can't tear my eyes away from the cup and saucer. <3!

I've had the teapot for ages, and don't remember the make or manufacturer. It was something a roommate randomly gave me.

The cup and saucer are the "Senorita" pattern by Royal Albert. That's the china pattern I collect.

Stunning :)

Ah, that reminds me of the tea set that I forgot to save for...again. That's a very pretty set :3

Wow..I think I'm in love (note to self - MUST get a proper tea set!)

It's lovely. While I am no longer doing "hodge podge" college era silverware, I do'nt have any nice dishes, either, and I ogle china patterns all the time.

Your china is elegant. :)

Beautiful tea post and china. You should post this pic on the ofmornings community. They'd love to have it on their comm.

Now you're making me hungry.

I love that teapot. Is it a Sadler?

Re: teapot

The office is empty and I was curious, so I harnessed the power of the internet to answer my own question.

That is a James Sadler Henry V teapot (sometimes called Battle of Agincourt). They are not widely available, but you can currently get one from eBay for $40 + shipping from Conneticut. I would buy it for myself, but I just spent too much on Chrsitmas. So! If anyone you know loves that teapot and wants one, that info should be sufficient to search one out.
