 ;D …….

I often go to coffee shops where mis-matched cups are used, why throw away a dropped saucer/cup if it can be used with another pattern?  Some girls are making old fashioned cake holder towers, the top is a cup the next is a saucer the next layer is a large plate: all different patterns fixed with a central metal holder …….. they look lovely and each is individual.

Slate should be for roofs.  Lumps of wood can be burnt ;-).

And jars for deserts and sides and drinks!!!!

Yes! I've had this! Went to Hugh FlippinWhitting's place for lunch about 5 years ago (so not recently) - a cafe near where I live and the pudding was a crumble and it was served in a bloody Kilner jar FFS!!!! With its lid to boot!
