It's good to see someone put their collecting obsession to good use ;) I think the tea cup you had is a pattern that mom had and maybe sis has now.<br /><br />I must admit, I am a bit confused about the hat pins in the fruit though, well and the shoe on the table. I guess that is a decorating choice though. ;)Rebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318594769530526005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-21785245635074847082012-05-21T10:09:45.359-04:002012-05-21T10:09:45.359-04:00You folks did it up right!
