Nooo! Not My Penzance!!!

I absolutely Love LOVE LOVE the Queen's Penzance/Caravan Trail china by Churchill. I use it as my "Breakfast only" dishes. Like, I really do. I do a full breakfast almost every morning with this stuff. Can't wait to use it for the whole family on Easter Morning. (Maybe it's just me, but breakfast food looks great with this pattern, but regular food doesn't. Oh well.)
It's the cutest EVER:
So, imagine my chagrin when I found out they have DISCONTINUED a bunch of my favorite pieces! Churchill kept the basic plates and cups and teapot, but a few of the specialty pieces won't be available any more! So sad! 
So, I hurried up and ordered duplicate pieces that I love, and then from the Bake Set (also discontinued) before they disappeared! Got them the other day:
SO cute. Look at that rolling pin. 
There's also measuring cups, and a pudding basin, and my personal favorite:
The FLOUR DREDGER. I bake a lot and when I roll out my cookies I always get so floury and dusty. Not any more! 
I have almost every piece of the collection, except the biscuit tins and spoon rest. So, at least I have all the pieces and can cherish them, even if they are no longer available! :-(
