Pretty flowers on a Friday


The other day I went to mum and dad's and came home with this pretty tea cup that was once owned by my grandmother. It's a Royal Albert set called Painter's Rose. When I was a teenager and did a bit of watercolour painting I used a plate from this set as my palette. I liked how the name matched my activities.


The pretty mauve rose came home with me from the hardware store the other day. Eventually I will plant it out the back but I'm enjoying it in my Spode planter for the time being.



We moved into Molly's Maison 1 year ago last Tuesday. Wow, time has flown!
Have a lovely weekend!

    The tea cup is beautiful. I like how you put it next to your new rose, that is also beautiful. Looks like tea time.

  15. What a gorgeous cup and saucer and how lovely that it's been handed down to you from your Grandmother.

    Nothing beats having things around you that have so much family history.
