How crazy all the Busy Bee girls are !!!! 

Here is Susanne's entry . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

 

"My ‘one’ weakness is collecting tea-sets & china. I think I have become slightly addicted to collecting tea-cups, saucers, cakes plates, side plates and cake stands. I cannot resist the charms of a porcelain white teacup with pretty roses or the gilded edge of a cake plate piled high with treats.These beauties appear in all sorts of places, from boot sales to thrift stores, markets to antique stores and Busy Bee studio, I can never have enough! My weakness sees me awake at all hours to hunt down my treasures. It is the thrill of the unknown, what might be found, that keeps me going.At home, cabinets  are crammed full of pretty tea cups and dainty plates, so I have had to find a variety of uses for my collection. Teacups serve as tea light holders, rose adorned plates hold guest soaps and are hung on the walls. Cake stands display my jewellery and other little decorative objects to great effect. Birthdays and celebrations are always ‘tea parties’, no matter the time of day, any excuse to get the china out! Finally, the funniest thing of all,is that despite owning around 100 tea cups, hundreds of saucers and a fair few tea pots,  I don’t drink tea! Not a drop"
