Sweet * nothings . . .


The theme for this week's photo challenge is sweet. I thought of all the sugar bowl and creamer sets that have managed to find their way into my home and wondered to myself - why? I realize there was a time when it was customary to have a sugar bowl and creamer politely displayed on the counter/table/service tray but not necessarily in my adult life. All the same, I am responsible for buying at least one set and hanging onto another that was a wedding gift - despite the fact that I never use them (maybe once in 20 years). And still I can't part with them. One lump or two?

  6. I do the same thing with teapots. Sometimes it's nice just to have things around that give us pleasure to look at, nothing more :)

  14. Your first photo definitely brings back sweet memories for me! This Franciscan Ware pattern is the one my grandmother and mother used. I have several pieces of it (including a turkey gravy bowl!). The lace doily under it seems to perfectly fitting.
