Thanks Mom!

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!
