Handling other people's possessions, with the impressions they leave on them, is almost mesmerizing at times. You did find some treasures. That bowl is gorgeous. And the fluting on the tea cup is lovely -- glad you rescued her!M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-89873171243384018612014-03-10T10:09:09.598-04:002014-03-10T10:09:09.598-04:00My, how chilly!

When I moved to my new house, I furnished it with some "already loved" furniture, that was beautiful and very well cared for by its previous owners. I felt like I was giving it a second chance. You found beautiful linens and I love the scalloped edges of the Irish teacup. The bowl with the silver design is gorgeous!
