Directions
I have been on a tireless search for the last couple of months. Ever since I succeeded in hunting down the dinner plates for my Centura Cornflower, I have been hunting high and low for the ever elusive bowls to accompany my service for 4. It has been a quest fraught with peril and frustration. I've braved blistering winds and scorching deserts... Climbed to the highest room of the tallest tower... and... um, Wait! Sorry, wrong movie.
I have searched high and low, hither and yon, over hill, over dale, down dusty trails and back again.
Then FINALLY!
I have completed my quest, with the added bonus of 4 tea cups and saucers as well. (cause they were just sitting right there next to the bowls)
Not into Tea?…
