Child's Play and a Tea Set

So, I have a day off and what do I do?

Play House.

My table resembles a child tea set-

a little of this, a little of that.

Mama loved a tea set.  

Maybe it was because she never had one as a little girl.

But she made sure that we got a new one every year. 

Good thing, because I broke or lost a few

and wound up with bits and pieces of this and that.

So, I guess I can call this

child's play.

The temperature in central GA is a whopping 83 degrees.

If it's this warm, why not some beach days.

The seashells have been collected over the years from Hilton Head Island

from our annual beach trips.

I keep them in this tarnished silver bowl.

I like it unpolished. 

A hint of blue peeks through the metal

and makes me think of the ocean.

I picked up the blue salad plates at Goodwill today

for 50 cents a piece.

Good deal, huh?

Not just cheap, "Made in China" stuff either.

Once in a while I take out my hobnail goblets.

I love milk glass.

The table cloth I picked up from a local shop,

an estate find.

Isn't she lovely?

No, I'm not an interior decorator.

But a little girl can pretend, 

Right?
