Before My Time.
This is a small Beswick Cruet Set dating back from the 1920's
It was given to me by my mother as a Birthday present. Mum kept it for thirty or more years and I have had it for many years myself. On the box it came in, my mother has written " I have had this set for more than thirty years. Please pass it on to your Grand Daughter. Love Mum"
And so I will 'After My Time!'
Oh Milli, its gorgeous! I hope to have the same lovely story for my grandchildren some day, my mother is passing her 21st birthday crockery to me.
ReplyDeleteThank You Lyn. You will be just the right girl to receive her birthday crockery and I hope that you too will be able to talk to your grand daughters about how 'special' it all is!
