CinderelIa Ware, Auntie Cuckoo & the Pumpkin Coach

This is Weetmans 'CinderelIa Ware' made in the 1950s. An adopted aunt, known as Auntie Cuckoo had the mouse sugar bowl, cream jug & the pumpkin carriage in a display cabinet (& the rest of the set left to her sister.) As a child I Adored this set, so magical & enthralling. I own it now :-) Some weeks ago I spotted by chance on eBay a pumpkin coach keyring charm & knew straight away this would go into the display cabinet. It was £7.49 Plus postage in the UK.... Or £1.46 free p&p from China..... Ten days later it was here. All I needed to do was cut & file. Its finally placed in the little display cabinet in the living room of the Beds, Knobs & Broomsticks house :-) Quite a few of the items in that house are dedicated to people either living or passed on.
The first photo shows the miniature pumpkin carriage in the cabinet, the second my inherited CinderelIa Ware & the last the coach before alteration.
