watchmen or what?

I received this amazing and curious set of dinnerware as a gift recently. I don't know anything about it...except I love it to death. The architectural feel and the sketched watchmen are an unusual combination. Has anyone got any ideas on where I might find info about this curiosity? When I google it brings up people who are dishing on the graphic novel Watchmen... : -/  

Perhaps these illustrations are not watchmen at all?...

Are these buildings English Tudor?

  

I just know someone will recognize the style of these gun toting chaps... and some history behind this tea set...Do you know where to look?

It wasn't too long ago, while rummaging through an old truck,  I found my worn and tired teacher bear that belonged to my teddy bear school I played with when I was about 6 or 7 years old...  I posted her picture...and one of my bloggers sent me to a site to where this original teddy bear school (just like my old loved one) was being sold.  I couldn't believe it, and I couldn't resist it either. My original teacher bear has no arms or eyes anymore (and she convalesces in a teacup) while the new teacher (who only has 1 eye) sits and educates her 5 eager students...It may be silly, but it is comforting when I look upon this classroom setting. And I cannot help but wonder who sits in that empty seat...where is that bear?)

All these mini desks remind me of my days in the classroom...and some pictures from the Treasure Trunk...Below seen here with our teacher Mrs. Klampt during Lost In Space days with Howard Rice (Room 222), Bill Mumy (Lost In Space) and Stefan Arngrim (Land of the Giants).

What's the happiest place on earth? Why it's the place in your heart when you get invited to Disneyland by your kids.

 Could our insides withold the rockin and rollin of the Matterhorn? the darkness of Space Mountain (at 8 am I might add)? the death defying drops in the Tower of Terror ( at 9:30 pm)? The walk from Disneyland Park...to California Adventure and back again? 

 With the nifty i-phone app MOUSE TIME and the expertise of our season pass kids... we were able to get fast passes, plan the park day and be able to squeeze the most out of it. 

 It was fantastical...
magical...

I had forgotten how much fun the parks could be!
