Reader, I purchased them.


Plate detail

Well some of them. In the end I picked out six small plates and one large one, which I would like to see filled by a large cake. Ideally a Black Forest Gateau or a Buche de Noel, to continue the obsessive wood/tree theme. Thankfully someone had already purchased the teapot when I got there on Sunday so it could no longer tempt me. I’ve left the creamer, mug, canisters and assorted chipped plates to their fate – I cannot save them all.
