This delicate china cup and saucer belonged to my sister's dear mother-in-law. It is white with a soft dove grey band. The edges are lined with silver, and there are elegant fern fronds scattered on the bottom.
I really like the silver edging as a happy change from the typical goldleaf on many cups.
The bottom of the cup has 'Fernwood' and 'Noritake' marked on it~
My sister graciously gave me one of her mother-in-laws teacups that I might think upon her when I used it. So, I thought of Inez today as I sipped my tea and wished we could have shared a cuppa.
I enjoy seeing the fern leaves through the tea and lace on the table~~
I had fresh watermelon and berries, a half sandwhich, and one of my new favorite indulgences~ A Fiber One Brownie which is only 90 calories and has 5 grams of fiber. Can't beat that!
And look who joined me. Isn't she the sweetest? She is having tea too!
I love the detail on her. She is wearing a darling green sweater...wish I could knit something like that. (Honey Bunny "Let's Have Tea")
The Hydrangea blooms from the bush in our yard have air dried nicely.
Love my straw fedora, and it will soon be time to swap it out for something made of tweed or felt wool~
I'd love for you to join me. I have more of everything and there are plates to spare. Alas, you'll have to use another teacup pattern. I only have one Fernwood teacup, just as there was only one Inez. She is remembered~ Which reminds me that we are each unique and precious. Psalm 139:13-14.
