Teapot Tuesday – Aunt Ruth’s Teaset

22 Comments/ 467/ 0

This week I wanted to share my very first tea set in my collection.  I had to recycle pictures and the quality isn’t that great but you will get some idea of this special set.  If you have been with me since the beginning of Teapot Tuesday you might remember this one.

My Daddy gave me this little tea set years before he died.  It was long before I started collecting teapots.  I certainly had no idea that this first teapot would be the start of something so big. auntruthsteapotThis tea set is made even more special because it belonged to my Aunt Ruth who was my Daddy’s sister.  She died when she was a young mother and somehow Daddy ended up with the tea set when he cleaned out Grandma and Grandpa Brown’s house years later.   It was packed away in newspaper in a box and one day he brought it out and asked me if I would like to have it.  auntruthsteasetI loved the oldness of it and even though a couple of the cups are missing it has a place of honor in my china cabinet.  You can imagine how hard it would be to ever get rid of this set.  It has history and was loved a lot by a little girl many years ago.

Maybe someday if I have a granddaughter I will be able to pass it on to her.

This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
