Oh the weather outside is frightful…. la dadada something something…
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

I wish I could stay in all day but I’m having a quick brace of tea and a cookie before I head out for library duty at the kids school. Due to budget cuts they eliminated the media para meaning that they ask for parent volunteers to check in, check out and shelve books. I’m happy to help out but it makes me a bit crazy when the latest PTO newsletter came out talking about how great the school has done with the last fund raising event. How about giving the woman her job back!

Ok I must now get down off my soap box to put on my boots… I don’t mind driving in snowy weather, I was a school bus driver for a couple years, it’s just all the other cars on the road that I don’t trust!!

In case you were wondering…this is another set from my folks collection. Figured I’d show the bottom for those who are in the know…not me but I’m sure you’re out there…

I wanted something special this week since this will be my first Thanksgiving without my dad, so I borrowed this set from my mom.

This is one of my favorites from Dad’s collection.  His collection focused on sets with scenery on them.

He was always on the look out for a nice scene but of course, would surprise Mom with a delicate floral set when he found one.

I love the thistles framing the scene, the scalloped edge and the handle. Drinking tea from this cup makes me sit up a little straighter and cross my legs at my ankles. Granted, this is not my usual style..I’m more of a curl up in a chair and sip from a steamy mug kind of gal but it’s good to be “ladylike” every once in a while.

My parents have a very large tea cup and saucer collection. The funny thing was that they both had collections BEFORE they even met.  I’m sure you’ll be seeing more of their collection…
