While making cake with a friend , we took a brake to have some tea with the sweetest little set. Her cups and saucers where all mismatched pieces with some type of sentimental value or story. This got me thinking that I too have a special tea set, in fact everything I have collected in my Hutch over the years has some type of memory attached to it.
My antique yellow glass's are a flea market find where it was love at first sight. My mom actually knew the dealer who was a little hesitant to part with the unique set, but seeing that I was truly excited, decided to part ways with them. Hurray for me!
The mismatched tea cups and saucers are all memorable pieces of my grandmother (Oma) and her making the trip as a teen from Germany to the states to start her life over. As a little girl, I remember starring at them and enjoying all the little gold painted details. Now I walk by my little treasures every day.
Just so you know, I actually do use all these pieces, and thought they where too beautiful to not share.
