Tea Party Time

I stopped by my mom's today and there was a box waiting for me.

I took a peak inside but it wasn't until I got home and took each and every piece out of the box till I really knew what I had. And how special it was.

These were my great-grandmother's.

A beautiful tea set.

And it matches my kitchen/dining room decor. PERFECT!

And a very beautiful, festive set of ice cream dishes.

I think I need to find a yummy mousse recipe.

And I am so, so happy that they were passed on to me.

I love how, even though I never knew her, I'm connected to her.

Another reminder of what this holiday season is truly about.
Sharing. Loving. Giving.
Family.

So, who wants to join me for tea?
