Entry Bosan!!

Haha peeps..u got me!!
I'm telling the truth..this entry is made only for those interested..it's boring i tell u!!IT IS!! ;P
tapi sape nk baca sila lah...
bukan nk menunjuk..my collection yg ciput dan baru nak bermula nih..ni nk share dgn friends yg pun same2 nk mula..hehe...
cukup la bag2 saje..nk beralih arah pulak..bukan ape..nnt dh balik bag still boleh beli..hehe..ye ke??ye kot!! but this item kalau nk buat shopping trip nak beli menda alah ni masalah nak mengangkut balik...so since akan ade satu kontena before balik nanti baik laa mengumpul barang2 yg boleh penuhkan kontena tuh..nak berangan beli kete..emm tak tau laa..no pressure..
nk bawak balik Mercedes bole...tp balik nnt maintenance nye mahal..hehe..worse come to worst i'm back to my japanese car..mmg suke sgt Honda..last time i bought Honda City sgt best...huhu..missed my old car!!

oppsss melalut pulak..btw ni la hasil setelah beberapa hari menjejaki ke kedai2 outlet di
Stoke-On-Trent and Boundary Mills, Birmingham..
But amat menyedihkan banyak outlet store Royal Doulton and Wedgewood dah tutup..tinggal satu je..and by the time we went there dah tinggal habuk...dgr2 org2 Manchester n Sheffield etc beratur kt kedai2 ni on boxing day!!kite??
tu la sape suruh pegi Harrods la, Selfridges laa..kan dah tak dapat!!huhu..rase nk menangis pun ade...last spring mase i went there punye la byk choice!!sedih..sedih..
so azam baru nk melengkapkan my set sebelom sume outlet itu tutup dan berpindah ke Indonesia..nanti dh tak 'Made in England'..Made in Indonesia pulak..now pun some of it dh ade tulih made in Indonesia..so sila tengok betul2 sblom beli..jgn main angkut je..
ok la cukup2 la membebel..
kepada Mrs.Wan, pls enjoy the pichhas..tau korang nye taste lg gempak kan..ni ape yg mampu dan muat kete hrtu..nyaris2 tak muat..hehe!!lom kedai tu penoh lg...haha..

this trip happened after christmas till new year..
I'll blog bout the trip later..tunjuk loots dulu!!;P

Enjoy the pics!!!



1st stop:

Royal Doulton and Wedgewood Outlet Store
Stoke-On-Trent

Kt sini byk brg dh abis..takde satu set pun yg complete dapat beli..
so i just bought some stuffs by Royal Doulton to complete my existing set yg dah tak lengkap....

but tak amik la pulak picchas..malas!!biasa2 je..

but not The Old Country Roses..hehhe..

Yang best dapat laa beli Dinner Plates nih!!

Biasa je kan!!
But tgk betul2..
its Marc Jacobs okay!!!!haha..believe me..
This Wedgewood Waterford range ade designer range..some of it are by Vera Wang and Jasper Conran..
emm tak beli bag Marc jacobs dapat pinggan pun jadi laaa...hehhee..
cari jugak Wedgewood range nk complete my set..haram satu pun takde...mencik!!!

Okay next stop we went to Portmeirion Factory Shop in Kingsway, Stoke-On-Trent

that was my first time in Portmeirion..
well tak le murah sgt rupenye..and being me yg tak pernah ade set Portmeirion..punye la susah nk make up my mind nk pilih bunga ape..range yg mane..penat pusing2..
in fact we went to other Factory shop which is bigger than the first one...
so sebab tak nak menghampakan driver yg dh bawak ke sana..beli la jugak..
so i bought what i really wanted...

Cake stand and cake server..
dh lama cari but takde yg berkenan...
since Portmeirion ade set baik beli..being me yg suke membaking mmg tak sah xde cake stand..rimas bile barang tak lengkap..
kt Msia dulu hadiah kawen sume dh lengkap..tak yah pikir nak beli apa2 dah..heheh...
so yeaa..dh dapat dah..senang nk serve cake lepas ni...

dan beli jugak senduk Sophie Conran yg lawa nih!!
Salad fork..tak tau la bile nk pakai..simpan je laa..hehe..cheapo je kan!!

and bought some other range yg boleh pakai harian..
tak payah la di tunjukkan di sini..hehe...
so lepas dh frust2 tuh balik semula ke Birm..still tak puas hati nih!!

Then before balik ke London, we went to Boundary Mills in Walsall, Birmingham..
tempat ni mcm outlet but xde individual shop..
sape2 pernah pegi The Store kt Msia..lebih kurang macam tu lah kedai die...
but not bad tau..siap ade jual Hobbs, Jigsaw and M&S outlet lg...

so pegi situ sbb ade Portmeirion and hubby's friend told us ade Noritake..
penjejakan pun bermula...


disebabkan design Portmeirion ni agak serabut..me still takleh make up my mind nk pilih from range Botanical Garden tuh...sebabnye bunga nye bykl jenis..daunnye pun byk jenis..pening..pening..
so me opted for something sweet and tak pening..to me laa...
i mmg suke set2 yg sweet sometimes..boleh la nk buat jamu kawan2...hehhe...

So ni la satu tea set with side plates and tea pot from 'A Fine Romance' range...
sweet kan??dapat set lengkap..tu yg amik...
yg lain ade plates, takde tea set..ade cups and saucers takde teapot...
macam tu laa kalau beli crockeries kt sini..belum tentu dapat satu set lengkap in one trip..kene duk mengulang-ulang...







and mase jln2 survey pinggan mangkuk pegi pulak ke Noritake!!!!
Noritake ni kalau kt Msia harga nye ribu riban..
my mom's set pun beli kt Japan mase my dad pegi sana..but tu mmg sgt cantik..
cari2 jugak but kt UK ni jual yg tak fancy je..
jadi laa for formal seating...

Ade byk jenis set..but i bought the 20-piece set..
teapot takde but i ordered..tak best la beli set tak de teapot or coffeepot...
tp tak best sbb ni 4 seating..i would prefer 8 seating..mane la tau nk entertain bos nnt ke!!hehe..bos hubby laa..my bos??malu laa nk ajak..
lain laa kwn2 nnt dh jadi head of Dept ke leh la dtg..nnt I jamu pakai Noritake ek!!!hehehe...

ni pun tinggal satu last set..nak beli yg 50 piece set box nye besar sgt..plus dh abis dh ongkos ke wedgewood and RD hrtu..
kalau beli pun mmg tak muat..huhu..
hopefully next time ade lagi..but i think dh mahal..coz mase kwn hubby beli tu die bgtau murah lg..adoi..apasal la sume naik harga!!!
tension..tension...
but now problem gak nk menyimpan kt umah..
dh la takde display cabinet..jadinye terpaksa la simpan dalam kotak elok2 and masuk dlm stor...

hopefully dalam setahun lebih ni sempat la mengumpul ape yg di hajati..
mals dh nk beli bag sgt....agenda lain pulak..hehhe...

till then...tadaaaa....

Fine Bone China

Hi peeps..
emm..nk blog bout something that bothering me..
well do u guys still remember that i bought Royal Doulton set during Easter hols??






we have big issues with it..
ni start nye lepas my hub called my MIL and told her that we went for hols including Stoke..
then die pon kuar la citer beli all the crockeries and tea set..
last2 my MIL kate kene hati2 sbb Fine Bone China takut ade campuran tulang b***..
actually fine bone/bone china watsoever ni adalah range fine quality yg produced by royal doulton and royal albert yg harga nya beribu2 kt msia...

so hubby pun terus panic sbb the day b4 dh makan n minum guna pinggan mangkuk tuh..
so googled la bout this matter..turned out ade bermacam2 pendapat:

1. Ustaz ni kata eventho ade campuran tulang tp dh tak najis coz die 'bone ash'..
2. 2nd ustaz kate kalau was2 baik tak payah pakai
3.ade yg kate ok boleh je sbb skang pakai sintetik dh tak pakai tulang animal..
4.ade yg kate haram la makan kt pinggan tuh..
and so on..

but ade my friend penah tanye kat factory diorang kate pakai calf bone...

so camane tah..me? percaya kt my friend and tak was2..(sbb dh beli byk kot..hehe..dammit)
tp hubby tanak makan kalau food served on those plates n bowls..
habis takkan asyik nk asingkan utk die..pelik..pelik...

and sampai skang masih tak dpt answer and tak guna pakai la pinggan mangkuk ituh..
luckily ade pulak my msian chinese friend yg dh nk back for good..and die tak penah beli royal doulton...
siann betull..ape lagi si shopaholic ni pun influence la kate rugi la wateva la...(mmg btul pun kalau tak beli rugiii wooo..kt msia sebijik teapot dh seribu lebey...)
and she agreed to buy from me..sob sob..
patutnya sukalaa..mane taknya..me mesti sedey la....
kene la jual gak..

nnt dh confirm baru la pegi serbu stoke on trent balik..beli byk2..siap la yang......
so me dh tader set Royal Doulton!!!!Uwaaaa!!!

jadinya sesape yg dtg my umah nnt jgn la expect makan n minum gune RD yee...back to basic la..woolworths basic set je...sob..sob...

hopefully sape yg ade answer with evidence based plss do help me!!!
i really heart RD and RA and seangkatannya..
Fine quality range...
PLEASE ASAP!!!!
thanks a lot..

tgh buntu nk angkut pinggan mangkuk ku ke rumah kawan..sob..sob..
byee!!!
