Happy memories. <br /><br />Your post took me back to my lovely, rotund, Nanna with her wrap around aprons and granny spectacles. She always had a tin of something freshly baked in her pantry or a paper twist of raisins. I have her old biscuit barrel and tea caddy, we use them every day.<br /><br />Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218332259187330304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6305853571849549221.post-82342668913930310572013-05-29T20:30:55.921-04:002013-05-29T20:30:55.921-04:00My Gran was more of a Wedgewood Granny but she alw...My Gran was more of a Wedgewood Granny but she always gave us tea. Even when we were small. Once when out with Gran at a bakery buying something for tea, my cousin and I started chanting "tea! tea! tea! "<br />over and over. The Scottish woman who owned the bakery said we were regular little tea-jennies. Gran was insulted and told us not to carry on so. But she always gave us our tea, good tea and good brew. I miss her so.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01172029625828982319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6305853571849549221.post-31962677538220381862013-05-29T19:09:22.780-04:002013-05-29T19:09:22.780-04:00

I am so glad you have such lovely memories of a childhood with a Grandmother like her and little girl cousins to have tea parties with at her home - lovely and fairly rare I would think. Oh, I can remember no time when I was considered too young to have tea with all my older siblings... Good days.<br />I love the little white sugar and creamer with the multi-color flowers on the fronts. (On the top shelf to the left.) They bring back a happy memory from a tiny vase from my childhood home.

All my best memories of my earlier childhhod are of her. Her cookie tins were always full and I remember her flowers and the windows, etc. I still miss her today. I love when you talk about your cupboard and show it off. The memories it holds for you are priceless! Thanks for sharing at my HOME and enjoy the rest of your week.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SandiSandi@ Rose Chintz Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415214311003251398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6305853571849549221.post-58147656196584480012013-05-29T15:21:32.721-04:002013-05-29T15:21:32.721-04:00Oh I love this!
