And Now For A Bit Of Fun,

or not depending on your view,

 a few new products in the Things-Could-Be-Worse mugs and Calamityware plates,

 we have featured the porcelain ware not once, but twice in the past, the basic premise of the design is to remind you of how lucky you are in not meeting any of the horrors that lurk in the willow pattern design,

 and the reason for this mention? a new teapot and cream and sugar service feature drawings of a traditional blue-willow paradise discombobulated by more than a dozen calamities, perils, and pests, you will find, if you look closely enough,

• hairy fiend 

• giant frog 
• pirates 
• cephalopod 
• unpleasant blob creature 
• dinosaurs
• dubious musician

as well as, 

• bear

• levitating demon
• voracious sea monster
• UFOs
• aggressive pterodactyls
• rambunctious robots
• capybara
• zombie poodle and other suspicious animals and shrubs

what great fun looking for them, just remember to finish your drink before turning the cups upside down in your quest to find them all! the set is the brainchild of Don Moyer, whose Kickstarter page can be found here, and no I am not on commission, but I would like a set, for our afternoon tea!
