ORIGINAL: LadyEllen As Edna Kroboppel said "what sort of boy has a tea set?" As Skinner replied "...... a lucky boy" Lucky because he knows he can invite the girls for tea, and they'll allow him to serve! E For certain :-) While it's nice to have a full set that matches, you can also pick a theme and collect mixed pieces too coordinate, or just pick up pieces that you like. Some popular themes are blue and white china, roses, all white. You want to have a teapot, sugar and creamer, a teacup and saucer (no mugs!) and a bread plate for everyone, plus serving pieces, as well as a pastry/dessert fork, teaspoon, and butter knife. How elaborate you get depends on your personal tastes. I collect blue and white china tea stuff - the great thing about it is that everything does not need to match but goes together great. Bombay Company always has blue & white tea pots in, and they're usually pretty good prices. Places like flea markets, ebay, TJMaxx and Ross regularly have pieces that will coordinate if not match. I've gotten pieces from just about everywhere and all different price ranges. I am lusting after a Spode blue willow teapot a local store has, but at $250, I'd probably rather buy a new signal whip :-)
