About this treasure
Where were you in 1929?
I would be very surprised if you could provide me with an answer. But it doesn’t mean we cannot imagine what we were doing should we have another life in another lifetime.
No doubt I would be having my coffee in this beautiful cream floral cup, reading perhaps a Jane Austen novel by the fireplace, or in a garden.
We found this beautiful cup and saucer set in an antique market in Dorset, UK.
