I like this ad. I remember my sister and I with our tea sets and playing with them and having a great time! :)

Ah, the days when you could say "tea party" (in the U.S.) and not immediately be embroiled in a political feud.

I remember the tea set I had. It was similar to the one at top left. That's pretty much how I looked in 1973 only I was even blonder and her haircut is better than mine was.

so true re: saying tea party!!!

i had a china tea party set....think it had a pretty complete dinner set with it too.....

Ooh, real china. How luxurious! I think I had a few real china pieces that were hand-me-downs from my cousins, but I'm sure it didn't last long around me. I had my girly-girl moments, but I was about 80% tomboy.

i had to barely touch my toys, so nothing got broke until my 'mother' broke them in a fit of rage---because i didn't play with them (but i wasn't really allowed too!).....ugh.....i should go buy myself a tea set! HAH! never too late to have a happy childhood! :)

Yikes--but I can relate. I recall my mother having some fits of rage like that. It wasn't until after she passed that I began to realize that she might have had bi-polar disorder. Once I began to learn about the condition I saw it described her exactly!

But you're right. I agree you can have childhood when it's convenient for you! :)

i've had some therapists say mine might have been bipolar but i don't think so, doesn't fit really at all.....a variety of personality disorders fit her better though.....had she actually took me to court last year i could have had a court order psych eval on her and got a diagnosis! HAH! totally OT, but i had found out---i cut off my family like in '93----that vivian (she wasn't a mother) had been volunteering at a grade school and oh hell no, that woman shouldn't be around children....so i made a website for her outlining a bit of my childhood and sent letters to the school, school board and state dept. of education.....she hired an attorney to threaten to sue me for slander and to order me to remove my website and recant my statements to those places....i replied that i would not do that at all, i'd be more than willing to get an independent psych eval to confirm my PTSD and if they wanted to sue me, basically 'bring it' and i'd demand that SHE get a court ordered psych eval......never heard a word back.....i HAVE heard though that the schools will no longer allow her there and my website is still up (it'll never be removed, because who knows what she did to a child when she was there, i heard she actually picked on one of them but the school didn't believe the parent when the parent complained UNTIL they heard from me!!!!).....

sorry, got on a rant sort of......

That's okay. I agree, though, that someone like that should not be working with kids, but they do and all too often! :(

yeah, they need to do a little more than a criminal background check, if they had talked to her for about 15 minutes when she first signed up as a volunteer, they would have realized something was 'off'....apparently one teacher refused to let her back in her classroom, but the school didn't hear that clue phone ring!!!! i'm just glad they paid heed to my letters and got rid of her....i really hope she didn't mess up any more children besides me and her cousin!

The Imperial Tea Service doesn't look that asian to me, font aside. Still, I do remember playing at chefs when I was younger, and this reminds me of it.
