While I remember her always drinking coffee in them, they are still special to me and I have used them for tea many times.

And it's so nice to have tea and remember that friend or relative, with a 'toast!'<br /><br />I have a shamrock tea cup that my Mother used and I think of her whenever I see it. It's wonderful how a pretty teacup can bring back such fond memories. Have a great week, Angela.

I have a few teapots one of my friends has found for me when she was out antiquing; but what is memorable is my grandfathers violet and daisy china.

I didn't know what they were until you pointed it out on your blog. I just thought they were snack or bridge sets like the glass ones.

I wanted to share something about Harney and Sons from your article the other night. I think I have mentioned I go to a bistro to hang out here on our little rock in the Carribean of Vieques, Puerto Rico. They always just automatically give me an iced tea. There was a new wait person who gave me the usual menu as well as a drink list which no one had showed me before. My bistro serves Harney and Sons teas. I was so surprised that this is what I have been drinking there. The way they serve it is to put ice in a tall glass, then fill the glass with whatever tea they have made for the day. Then they put the shaker top on it and give the glass a good shake so there is froth on the top of my iced tea. I enjoyed knowing I was drinking a brand you like and wanted to share this with you.

Since she is in memory care her son asked if I would like to pick a teapot to take home. It was so thoughtful of him to offer me one. I chose one made in England with pink flowers.Frances Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10913689452422142287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-5480167480230922322016-02-22T08:26:22.199-05:002016-02-22T08:26:22.199-05:00Beautiful pieces and a lovely set of china.

I have a milk glass collection that started with one piece from my mother and has grown over the years from family, friends and yard sales.

I have a special fondness for this pattern because I have some child-sized pieces that my grandfather gave me when I was about 8. I think that started my love of teacups! A dear friend made me a really good deal on several more pieces with this design when she had a moving sale, so they are special to me, too. They are on my dining room table right now! I've given my granddaughter a doll tea set in Moss Rose, too. Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14183723445145517680noreply@blogger.com
