Have a lovely morning 😊 #antiquecandle, #porcelaincandle, #porcelainlights, #porcelainforlife, #candlesforlife, #gardeninateacup, #rhslondon, #organiccandle, #historyoftea, #porcelainstories, #teacupcollector, #madeinengland, #antique, #thepotteries, #stoke, #staffordshire, #periodhome, #georgianhome, #handpouredcandle, #mendiphills #englishcountryside #rural #decoration #englishflowers #summer, #somerset #england, #flowersfrommygarden, #augustflowers
