Oh, what a day it was! I don't like collecting antiques or memorabilia but I really would have loved to put my hands on a soft blue and white plate I saw on someone's blog...it just had William and Catherine printed on it ever so lightly...very pretty...I do collect blue and white dishes for my table...one plate of each design for a fun mix...the Will & Kate plate would have been a cool addition.
Ha ! There are some lovely keepsakes being produced but most of them really are quite appalling. Just cashing in really. The wedding was heavenly; the dress divine, and now at long last she has her Prince. A happy ending at last...
Yes,yes, yes, you should have bought some. Maybe in about 20 years, they will be worth something - if you could wait that long. :)
ReplyDeleteHard to see, now it's kitchy but then it will become a history!
ReplyDeleteSome people have HOUSES full of that junk!
ReplyDeleteI would have liked to get ahold of the Chinese wedding plates mistakenly printed "Harry & Kate". Those would be worth a fortune in a few years.

ReplyDeleteUmm. Not so much antiques for the future. So say I. But I am often so wrong wrong wrong
ReplyDeleteIf I was in the UK on holiday, maybe I would have bought a souvenir.I watched the wedding on tv like the others the world over. I wish them well.
ReplyDeleteIt's all about rarity. If there are a bazillion of something sold, it's unlikely it will ever be worth more than it's cost. Good job on resisting.
