Hello... Happy Sunday
Mandy has chosen the prompt "Cup" for the photos today at
It kinda had me scratching my head for a while ... I'd already shared photos of Stella visit when we were out having coffee so I was looking for something else significant and here it is
A silver cup, a little battered and tarnished ...It's my son's Christening cup, given to him 33 years ago... See the little kitty on there? Who knew at 3 months old he was going to become such a huge animal lover ... in particular a cat lover
And something slightly older ... in fact a lot older but still treasured
This coffee set with it's little cups and gilt edges was a wedding present given to my parents in July 1943
A couple of the cups are gone and one is chipped but what remains still sits in my glass cabinet as pretty as ever
Go see what the team is sharing today on the blog and link up with us at
Have a wonderful Sunday

That is a lovely cup remembering your son's christening (?) - am not sure of the term...
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday Ros!
Oh my--these are such wonderful treasures, Ros! Both are also so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love Mikey's cup! A precious keepsake form his childhood. And yes; you knew then already he would LOVE cats. The coffee set from your parents is a gorgeous heirloom.

I loved what you chose to show us for cups!My son has a silver cup too.AriadnefromGreece!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful photo's of cups, Ros, especially the Christening cup...but the memories attached to the cups given during World War II made it even more special. What a memory for Memorial Day tomorrow! Hope you had a lovely Sunday!
ReplyDeleteI gave a little gasp when I first read your post, but had to go double check the year. Did we already figure out that both our parents were married July 1943?! We surely are connected, my friend!
ReplyDeleteOh NY, Ros! Such precious memories! Love the cup with the kitty and yours parents set is such a treasure!
ReplyDeleteThose are simply beautiful family heirloom pieces, Ros. Pieces like that are truly priceless. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteLove that silver cup with kitty cat, how sweet! hugs :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your sweet memories!
ReplyDeleteI would like to have some cappuccino with you, so you could tell me more about your family (-:
Love that silver cup too, it is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteThe coffee set of course made me think of our coffeeklatsches... what a beautiful design that is. But it doesn't just sit in the cabinet, does it? You use it from time to time?
