New Treasures


These are my new treasures. I have a second-hand store in a little town about 15 minutes from home that I frequent. I love the shop because things are reasonably priced and there always seems to be new things to look at every time I go into the store. My favourite treasures are teacups, dishes, stemware and silver. I love furniture as well but it does seem that it takes longer to find the right piece no matter what you are looking for.
First I purchased the tray; it has little flower cutouts all around the edge. I found the cream and sugar set next. They are a good size so I will be able to use the service when company comes or if I have just one friend over to share some tea. I found the teapot the last time I was in. I love the shape of the teapot. It is not a set but I love my new tea service. It took me a while to get it clean so I could share it with you.

Love Always,
Kim

Sad News



Eva is gone. My husband found her underneath some ground cover at the back of our yard on Tuesday afternoon. We do not know how long she was there. We heard a terrible cat fight that woke us from a sound sleep on Saturday evening about 1 a.m. We could not tell if she was involved. She had been missing since Sunday morning but sometimes cats do that when they spend most of their time outside. We are very sad.

Love Always,
Kim
