bits and bobs...just saucers

Hi all!

I'm joining in with my friend Sarah from Molly's Maison, and her new post theme entitled 

'bits and bobs'. The idea is that we all post an image that features a little collection with some kind of cohesive thread. At least that's my interpretation of it anyway, so I'll go with that for now!

Oh the dilemma of choosing just one collection for a self-confessed magpie!

And then finding something cohesive in it...

So, I've rounded up some of my old saucers.

They are all New Zealand logo-ed in some way - in this image there are a mix of New Zealand Railways, Army, Defence and Government Tourist Board.

Part of a collection that has been amassed over some time now, and yet I'm still excited when I find another one, especially if it is 'new' to my collection.

Who ever knew how many 'NZ-somethings' with their own tea-room china there used to be!

I am lucky enough to have cups that go with the NZR railway china, but the other saucers are all on their lonesome.

I put them to good use as soap dishes in the bathroom, as resting places for 'bits and bobs', and of course, any excuse I can think of to serve them up somehow with or around food.
As a little detail, wherever they pop up around my home, they add that little quirky touch that I always think is so important in any interior.
Perhaps especially in the bathroom, where many of the surfaces are, you know, quite sleek.
A little unexpected layer of detail.

My little ode to another era.

Happy Monday!
