A Cup of Tea

I don't really drink tea, but I would like to! I think my taste buds will mature some day and when that day comes I will enjoy using my "new" tea cups. I really enjoy hearing the story and history behind special objects in someone's home. My grandma invited me over for dinner one night a couple months ago and offered to let me have any of her special china teacups and I jumped at the chance! I thought I'd show them to you :) The pictures are kinda horrible. I need a camera that's not on my phone!


My grandma just thought this one was pretty. I don't know where she got it from...
This teacup belonged to my great grandma, Granny Sam
This one was a 25th wedding anniversary present for my grandma and grandpa.
My grandma worked at Eaton's for quite a while and when she went back to work after having my mama, she bought this as a present to herself in 1956 :)
This is my favourite of the bunch! It was a secret santa present from her manager at Eaton's. There is one other one she had that I've loved since I was a little girl but she said she wasn't ready to part with it yet, I was okay with that :)

This has made me wonder what in my home I cherish and want to share the story of. Hmmmm.

I couldn't think of a creative title for a post that has taken me almost a year to write, so I thought I'd tell you my favourite colour! Super interesting right? I know. I'm not sure why I haven't written on my blog since last april, probably because I think my life is not interesting enough to read about, BUT a couple of people actually told me I should blog again, and I've been meaning to do it for a while so here I am!


Here are some things that have happened recently:

1. We now drive a minivan but we have no kids. It's a little bit embarrassing to admit that I actually like it!

2. I am in the process of getting my assistant early childhood educator certificate thingy. I'm doing my course through correspondence and haven't started yet, even though I should have about a month ago. Ah well, I usually produce my best work when it's crunch time :)

3. Nate started school in September and finished his first semester with a 3.86 gpa. I'm a little bit proud.... that's okay right?

4. We're learning how to cook because we're poor and can't eat at restaurants anymore! It's actually been awesome being poor so far. It really makes you look at life differently.

5. I don't feel like writing anything else. I am going through pepsi withdrawl. We're trying to save money and be healthier by not drinking pepsi but man oh man do I ever want one. That's it, Nathan's going to the store :) I'll write more later or something...
