Another of my mom’s teacups: bone China from England in bachelor button motif. The tea is Mate Latte from the Republic of Tea, a delicious chocolate, nutty flavor, great with a wee bit of milk.

I wanted to sip from this dainty teacup from France, but it has a hairline crack around it. Darn.

But aren’t they both lovely?

Take time with your family; you never know how long they are with you. My mother has been gone for over twenty years, but I still miss her– and so many time I’ve had questions only she could answer.  Take time.
