I love Kensington! *It’s my neighbourhood.
Yesterday I had some time to wander and explore. Kensington is filled with interesting history and places. One of them is Queen Street. It is lined with loads of coffee shops, thrift-shops etc.
I love rummaging through antique shops. I love looking at items of years gone by…and even better when I can buy them!
Where to look?
Love these art deco light fixtures
My photographer friend, Michael Abrahams would love this antique camera collection.

And to my surprise…I found a vintage tea set! Just like mine! Wow…was shocked to see the price!
Growing up, I used to admire this tea set my granny had. She kept it locked up in her sideboard. Remember those sideboards?

She knew I loved it, so on my wedding day…she gave it to me! God willing, my granny, Ryce Damonse, will turn 100 years this year! I love her! Thanks Mamma!
I love my tea cups. I’ve lost a few during my moving years. :(
I love putting it out when I receive special guests…like my girlfriends.

Good times…and I will guard my tea cups and save it for my daughters to enjoy one day!
Reblogged this on Birdies Blog.
Reminds me of good times I have spent with my mom and aunt browsing in these shops as well. Never know what you might find!
You’re right! It truly is an adventure!
