my pink toes

I am IN LOVE with this china pattern! I have collected a couple cup and saucer sets, a small plate and a cute mint dish over time and I have now decided to collect it in earnest. My inner 8-year-old girl wants a whole set of this because it's so fabulously pink and girly (gold rims! scalloped edges! roses!). Because of past issues, I haven't been that in touch with my inner little girl (yeah, I'll save the rest for my therapist, don't worry). So, I've decided to indulge her - um, I mean me - by continuing to collect more bits and pieces.

I've been winning a few items on eBay, and almost all of it is in Canada. (Come to think of it, that's where I've found all my assorted bits and pieces, too...). Why Canada? Was it the wedding china of hundreds of 1930s-50s Canadian brides? I'm a trivia junkie, so if you have any information, no matter how small, I'd love to hear it!
