I haven't been able to participate in Kelli's Show and Tell for a few weeks and have missed all of you. I have something I want to share with you. When we went to Alabama last month we stopped in Birmingham to visit my 90-year-old Aunt Thelma. She is my mother's sister (my mother passed away at 75 seventeen years ago.Aunt Thelma knows I love tea things and she told me to look in her china cabinet to see my grandmother's (her mother) bone china tea cup. I didn't even know she had one! The tea cup is such thin fine china I was scared it would shatter while I was holding it! I have no idea how old it is but my grandmother acquired it back in the 30s when they bought their house, the house came with many boxes of wonderful antiques the seller left. The tea cup was in those things. I'm sad to say I will never get this tea cup because Aunt Thelma has a daughter who it will be passed on to!
I took a few more pictures of items in her china cabinet. I thought this tea pot and cup and saucer so unique and cute, I've never seen any like them!
This small fine bone china bowl has a china ladle that matches. It was also my grandmother's.
Aunt Thelma has always been special to me. I told her she is the prettiest 90-year-old lady I've ever seen! Here she is with me, and her daughter Kathleen (and little doggie.)
I hope you enjoyed my Show and Tell this week. Go to Kelli's for more fun!Katherine
