American Beauty

   Hello everyone,

I have put away all our Christmas,

decor....well except for some in

our family room that I intend to

enjoy for awhile yet

So, today it is a very different

look for my post.

Last October my husband and I

spent a few days in Nova Scotia

when our Covid bubble was open

to the Atlantic provinces.

We enjoyed one of our nights in

Lunenburg . So, the next day on

a beautiful sunny day we enjoyed 

a stroll by the beautiful heritage

homes. As, luck would have it

there were a few yard sales set up.

I spotted these beauties and could not resist them!

American Beauty by Royal Albert

The lovely lady that I bought these from

told me that her Mom(a war bride)

from England took this set with her on the

          ship after the war. 

It reminded me of my Dutch Mama

who also was a war bride...alas though no dishes!

She said the dishes that I got were all

that were left of the set after many years

of good use.

I was happy to get them and she

was happy they would still be loved.

I love that the creamer and sugar

dish on the tray survived.

I didn't get a teapot with them but I

 am sure it was used to serve

many cups of English tea!

This teapot I already had and it

is a pretty good match I think and

who knows when an American Beauty

teapot will show up at another yard sale.

So pretty!

Well, I am off for my walk and

I just might enjoy a cup of tea

by the fireside when I get back.

I hope you have a spot of beauty

in your day!

Thank you to all who left good

wishes for us in 2021.

Take care,
