I think of my mom every time I see this or another fine tea set. She's been gone for over 20 years now, but my first thought is still "mom would love that! "
One of my sisters collected tea pots
she had some beautiful ones

I collected teapots for a while, but then got more interested in pitchers. I've found some beautiful ones, and I always buy them from thrift shops or 2nd hand stores. I've seen some real beauties, but could never afford them.
Try looking at yard sales, or thrift shops and check for chipping I have dropped a few but payed a lower price than if they were new. My fingers aren't the dainty type so I use a mug more often.
All wired up tonight with a blood pressure monitor I have to keep on for 24 hours. Lots of fun and not sure how I will sleep tonight. I said I had better not go out in public I could be mistaken for a suicide bomber lol.
Love cups and saucers, pretty ones, have a dozen different designs.

Hope all our friends in the USA are safe. Got some news tonight of really bad weather over there. God bless all of you. Hugs.
I hope you can disconnect soon, Aussie. Everything is fine here in Florida.

Love the JoyBell quote, aussie. So very true.
Hope the monitor reveals the secret to your mini strokes. Then it will be worth all the discomfort and lack of sleep. God bless you too and as you lie awake tonight, instead of counting sheep count the cyber hugs you are getting from each of us here on c4j!
