As usual Maggie your story telling is warm, wise and has touches of humour. It’s a great story and your tablecloth is very precious - I wonder who made it, it looks hand embroidered?
What a glorious fairytale! I love Minty and Esme. And that tablecloth - of course you had to buy it. I'm not sure what it is about the pull of blue and white ceramics. My favourite is the 18th century big Dutch pot I found at the chuck out end of an auction, years ago. I used to take it to school to show my art classes - an act of faith to let them take turns at examining it, but a thrill for them to handle something so old.
oh my, that was the best!!!!! thank you for sharing, you have made my Monday morning.
Thank you! What a lovely message to find on my Monday morning xxx
I have a fabulous Spode willow pattern fruit bowl that was a wedding present when my grandparents married in 1934 & it’s one of my favourite things.
