When I was a little girl I can remember going to visit my grandparents at my Father's childhood home. I loved that house with it's big brick front porch. A cozy metal glider that squeaked with each movement sat against the side wall awaiting my visit. I can still remember the dainty yellow roses that grew up the trellis reaching the top of the porch ledge sometimes even spilling over to rest on the glider. It was always a fun trip to Grandma's house. Only about an hour away. A yummy dinner awaited us and for dessert---Cool Whip with cherry juice and a little red cherry on top (We were allowed to have whatever we wanted for dessert when at Grandma's) When my grandparents moved to Florida I was a young girl in grade school. I missed those frequent visits with my grandparents and found myself writing letters to keep in touch. With each sent letter a return letter from Grandma would come. One of my most treasured possessions is this little tea set that was sent along with one of those returned letters.
Without knowing my fondness for this miniature tea set, my neighbor called the other day to say that they were doing some reorganizing and cleaning of their attic. They had found a few little things that they no longer wanted but didn't want to just take them to the local thrift shop. They asked if I could come over and take a peek to see if I would be interested in any of them. Imagine my surprise when I began to open tiny boxes to find these amazing treasures.
I should warn you--- I love them so much I have LOTS of pictures to share with you.........
When I was taking these pictures to share with you, I was trying to decide which new little tea set was my very favorite. I just couldn't decide----I would love to know which was your's..........
PS... Thank you Claudia for thinking of me and sharing these precious treasures with me!!!
