New Royal Wedding Mug Will & Kate and Wedgwood Jasperware Queen Elizabeth II box

We just received our new design of Prince William and Kate Middleton Royal Wedding mugs with the inscription and date for April 29, 2011 at Time Was Antiques.

To order or see more info for the mugs and our other Prince William items or other British Royal Memorabilia items at Time Was Antiques, click on the photos.


We have also just added a Wedgwood royal blue jasperware box made for the Silver Jubilee in 1977 of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Cool. For more info, click on the photos.

My love of British Royal commemoratives came from my English grandmother who gave me various items she had collected over the years from her growing up during the last years of the reign of Queen Victoria to the coronation of King George VI. I had a nylon lace handkerchief from the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth...who The King's Speech was about... in 1937 framed and it's hanging in my bedroom. I love it!


It's been quite rainy and windy the last several days. The last 2 days, our telephone and internet was spotty at best because of wind damage that took about 38 hours to repair. Had to do an order via cell phone, as my telephone and the contact to the websites was tenuous at best. It was so nice to get the phone call that all was restore last evening, just before we left for a banquet and fund raiser for the youth at our church, Sequim Community, raising funds for a week helping an orphanage in Mexico. A great meal and very successful silent and live auction. Those kids are great!


Have a great day, stay warm and enjoy a cup of tea with a friend.

I just have to share this jewel box or casket I unearthed from the last shipment from England. This is the neatest brass plated cast iron lidded box with the most outstanding workmanship. The box has repousse...read raised or 3 dimensional...cherubs or angels playing instruments on the lid. The, on what is a separate layer, the inside the lid has been stamped with an al over really minutely detailed floral design. The box is a typical example of the victorian idea of everything being ornate and beautiful. I just loved it when I came across it at an antique market outside of Cheddar.

We've had record cold here in the upper Olympic peninsula of Washington. It was 14 F the night before last....even so cold we had a cable outage for almost 20 hours from something freezing. Amazing...so much for global warming. :)

Off to our church's Christmas program tonight...really looking forward to it. Have a great evening and stay warm!
