Yesterday I received two giant boxes of the most delightful family heirlooms from my mother.
Many of the items belonged to my great-great grandmother but some are older than that.
I had just been thinking how much I want more blue and white porcelain to display.
You had me at Greek key
It was like Christmas in October.
there was quite a bit of Wedgewood jasperware, both light and dark.
There is one piece of Wedgewood that has fascinated me from my earliest memories.
As a child,I imagined it must hold a very narrow, tall and certainly delectable cake but it is, in fact, a cheese dome. It is one of my very favorite things that my great-grandmother had on display.
Mom also sent along a set of these small, fetching plates. They make me want to bake a cake and have a party.
This isn't even the entire haul of goodies.
Thanks Mom!
