Tea Party

This week my uncle mailed me a package of my late Grandma Grace's vintage china. Everything was shattered when it arrived. I was devastated since I'm extremely sentimental.

My sweet friend Yolanda saw how upset I was over the matter, and got me a seven piece china set to lighten the blow. Only a few pieces are shown here. With the broken pieces of my Grandma's china, I hope to make a mosaic if I ever learn how. Thankful I have so many wonderful memories of my Grandmother and family and that I knew her love. I'm also grateful she lived to be 100.

Ohhh, I can imagine how heartbreaking that is! Yes, you can totally do a mosaic out of the china, but I hope there are also one or two pieces you'll be able to get back together too. Sweet shot.

@olivetreeann Thank you for your kind words and empathy.

[Diana]

I can only echo what Ann wrote, a lovely still life and tribute to your grandmother.

[Kathy A]

I can imagine how upset you were. This new set looks very pretty and that is such a lovely still life

[Pam Knowler]

This is so sweet! Heartbreaking that all your grandmothers pieces were broken. I hope you can work some magic and make something from the pieces that will help keep your memories alive!

[gloria jones]

Sweet.

[Madeleine Pennock]

I am sorry to read that your grandmother's china was broken in transit to you. How lucky you are to have a friend to buy you a different set. You will remember your grandmother without having her china and yes learn to make mosaics with the damaged pieces. A lovely little tea party you have created!

Such a sweet image, wonderful composition and memories to last forever.

@ludwigsdiana @olivetreeann I have my crazy glue ready to salvage a few pieces! Thanks you two!

[Krista Mae]

@kjarn Thank you for the great compliment, Kathy, and your empathy!

[Krista Mae]

@pamknowler Thank you, Pam! I hope to do something to commemorate my sweet Grandmother. I would love to mosaic if I could figure out a good grout to use.

[Krista Mae]

@seattlite Thank you, Gloria!

[Krista Mae]

@marshwader Aw, thank you, Madeleine! I'm still a little girl at heart and I so appreciate your kind words. Like you said..."I will remember my grandma without her china!" So true! Yes, super grateful for my good friends sad over my predicament.

[Krista Mae]

@eahopp Agreed Beth, memories do last forever!

[bkb in the city]

Sorry to hear that. The idea of a mosaic sounds wonderful

[Krista Mae]

@bkbinthecity Thank you, BKB! I appreciate your support!

[CC Folk]

So sad about the broken china. I do hope you save the pieces and can make a new memory from it. Broken but not forgotten and it can still be turned into something beautiful! Pique Assiette means broken pieces I think. I have made a few pieces that I love.

[Krista Mae]

@gardenfolk Thank you, CC Folk. I would love to see photos of what you've created someday! Thanks for the love!

[CC Folk]

@peekysweets I will have to see if I posted my mosaic project on 365...maybe the small table I did.

[Krista Mae]

@gardenfolk Let me know if you ever find a photo. Thanks CC!

What a sweet scene! And what a nice friend! I too am very sentimental about my mother's and grandmother's things. I love the idea of making a mosaic with the pieces. If there are any big pieces that fit together - have you heard of kintsugi?
