What a happy Christmas in June surprise!!
The mystery gifter was my dear generous Aunt, who shares my love of china. What a thoughtful woman she is!
I couldn't help but smile for the rest of the day.
Have you had any pleasant surprises lately?
Oh how special. That's really sweet.
ReplyDeleteBack in April my daughters and my hubby threw a surprise party for me.. that was fun :-)
We have the same dishes! Just the accent plates, but we use them over our regular china (which is cream colored with gold trim). I just glanced over at our cabinet. I guess we have a pretty bowl in this pattern, too. We always say we'd like to slowly add to the collection, but we never have. :) What a fun surprise. Don't wait til Christmas to use them. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful surprise!! Feel the love ;)
