Tea for three (or five)

The tea pot?
My Grandma Pilgreen's.
The tea "ball'?
My Grandma Liles's, who I never knew.
The tea?
Mine, from my Mama.
It was loose in the tin!
No worries
Said the lady who keeps everything!
Then she gave me the accessories.
Now, we have tea for three!

Something to wonder:
What, of yours, will your great grandchildren use?
Might never know!
But I am guessing they will be our books....

Yes! Our books. I like this post, Susan... I love to tell the girls which things were my grandmothers... costume jewelry, furniture, wine glasses... it's such a connection, right? And for you, special to have something from the grandmother you didn't know.
