Visit Sally at Smiling Sally
for Blue Monday.
Today I am sharing this three-piece coffee set which is marked Made in Italy. It belongs to my mother, and we keep it on one of the sofa end tables in our living room. I love the little pieces of fruit on the lids. I'm not sure how old it is, but I know she purchased it at a garage sale more than twenty-five years ago.









Those are GORGEOUS!!! I hope you have a FABULOUS week!

How lovely, how original! I am going to start looking around for a unique, fun tea set so I can have tea parties with my grandchildren. Glad you put that set out and don't keep it under a cabinet hidden away. Enjoy your day. I hope you are feeling better.

I love this sweet set! I used to have a couple of planters made in Italy with the same pattern. I don't remember what happened to them!
Happy Monday,

I am so happy that I had the chance to visit you, my pink friend, on a Blue Monday. Your mother's coffee set is just beautiful. I'm glad you keep it out so you can enjoy its beauty every day.

It is hard to imagine anyone putting that lovely coffee set in a garage sale. Your mother was smart in buying it.

Good morning Beverly, I love this coffee set. I am sitting here enjoying my newly painted room. It just makes me soooo happy. I am drinking a cup of coffee so I decided to check in on you today. It is noon and I have already done a days work.
Organization and I cleaned my deck. This winter has been hard on everything. sigh.
I hope you are feeling back to yourself my dear friend. I know you are still getting tired. It is to be expected...so rest!!!
Love you, Jeanne
I am going to Safari to post my comments. ?#*&!

My wife would love these. But with visiting grandchildren, we would have to put that away each visit.
