...February
2.2.17
Oh my, February has big shoes to fill! January was chalked full of goodness. Some I've shared publicly, some I'll be sharing soon, and one event I've had to let go quietly. Sometimes you just have to let your heart heal in private. What I will share about this certain event is I flew to Florida last Thursday to sign escrow papers on my parents home. It belongs to a new family now and I hope they will make many happy memories...enough to fill a lifetime.
I flew home Saturday.
I'm coming to terms that my mom was a very private person. Certain things more than others definitely had special meaning to her. This tea cup and saucer is part of a set that she displayed in her kitchen long after I'd grown up and moved away. Surely some pieces would not have survived packing up a household every couple of years with the Navy. My best guess is that the set belonged to my dad's grandmother. I'm hoping a few family members can help with this.
Dainty. Fragile. Beautiful.
Mom
Do you have a treasured heirloom passed down to you? Please share,
I'd love to hear about it.

My bubbe collected gorgeous milk glass. I love seeing my mom cherish it and I cherish the few pieces I already have inherited! The tea cup is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh milk glass. How nice you get to see your mom enjoy it. I know you'll cherish your pieces.
DeleteSuch a beautiful set. I know you've had a hard time, but I'm praying 2017 brings you laughter and love. xoxo
ReplyDeleteWait for my big reveal! Thank you Daenel. Xo
DeleteI do, it is a beautiful clock, but it lives at my Mum's house

Hopefully you get to visit that clock often Molly. Thanks for dropping by :-)
DeleteWhat a beautiful tea set! My mom didn't really collect any one thing in particular, though I do have a few items here at my home now that came from my mom & dad's home. I feel you on the letting go...such a difficult thing to embrace. (((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteThank you Mitzi-I'm glad you have some cherished pieces with you now. ((Hugs)) back. I'm not sure I'll totally get it, but my goal is to at least be at peace with it all. Xo
ReplyDeleteI have my great-grandmother's lap writing desk. Such a beauty, but in need of some repair. At least I have it out now inside of stored away in the basement.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame to think of treasures stored in a place where it can't be seen, admired and adored Sarah. Xo
DeleteI have a tea cup from my grandma and I also have her wedding band. But I think my favorite things are the old photographs that show my grandma and grandpa when they were much younger than I ever knew them. They looked like they were having a lot of fun. :)
ReplyDeleteOh I have my mothers dishes, and my mother in laws amber glass collection. I have a thing for vintage dishes. Many many sets...and yes, I do use them all! Think I will join you for a nice hot cup of tea! Aloha!
