100 Word Wednesday: Week 28 – Heirloom

Oh, heavenly! What a gorgeous shop! My annual Ladies’ High Tea is coming up. They always came in lacy dresses and fancy hats, and admired my decoration before finding their seats.
I’m the third generation who inherited this exquisite Vintage Royal Albert Heirloom Bone China Tea Cups & Saucers, plus serving plates, and cream and sugar set. It’s delightful to look at them in my China cabinet. It’s equally thrilling to keep them alive by using them annually.
Ah, I spotted a center piece! The ladies will enjoy the Tea Party! After all, it’s a fund raising activity for the missionaries.

This year I’s busy helping my daughter who is expecting her baby in September. I’m leaving in 3 weeks to go to her shower and stay for a week. Then come back and go about a week before the baby is due. I’ll stay around for a few months helping with chores while they take care of the new baby! My husband will come and go here and there!
