 I am laying down with two cats nestled by my chin and shoulders. A large black cat on the left and a small Bengel on the right plus my computer on my chest. They are both purring right into my ears. I will indulge the kitties for a little while but I need to move! Seems like it is time for a cat lady post. 

Great Grandmother's Trunk filled With Late 1800's Wedding Trousseau.

I spent many wonderful times looking through my great grandmother's trunk. My youngest sister even tried her wedding on. Her entire wedding outfit was carefully wrapped and saved. It is now in a museum. Apparently it is rare to have everything including under garments, shoes and nightgown. The first illustration is my favorite.

Beautiful Staffordshire Willow Pattern ~ Blue and White Pottery in Antique Postcards and Ephemera ~ Adorable Kittens and China

 Hi and welcome to all of you! I hope you are safe and well. Like most of my post themes this one fell in place because of one picture. Today the darling little kitten drinking out of the tea cup was my inspiration. The Staffordshire Willow pattern reminds me of being with my grandmother. So cozy and full of love and warm tea. That sounds so good as it is chilly tonight!

The little note says 'A Bright and Happy Christmas'

Hi Everyone!

Tomorrow is Mothers day. 

A day to celebrate and thank our moms for all they do. 

I am very thankful that my mother has made it to 82. Best of all she is in good heath. I love her so much.

The following paintings all feature a mother with her children. 

The artist is Frederick Morgan (1847-1927). 

How sweet and sentimental his paintings are!

Much love as always, Louise
