Hello and welcome. It's Tea Things Tuesday!!!!
A big thank you to our lovely hostess, Kim, at

Now, last week I had introduced the Priscilla pattern and told absolutely everyone that I was going to clean it all up and send it off to my sister.
Well, that didn't happen. :(
As I was a cleaning the teapot up I noticed that there were a couple of spots in the teapot that were just not coming clean, so there had to be a couple of little flaws you really could not see but I'm just not comfortable using old dishes that way, much less sending it off to my (truly 100%, why would I ever exaggerate) angelic sister that way.
So, we had to find a suitable alternative. Luckily, we just happened to have one!

This is the Cashmere pattern by Homer Laughlin. This was also made in the very early 40's. We also had some dessert plates to go with this set...
and threw in 4 little silver teaspoons. Look at the shine I put on those babies (they were quite tarnished, dirty, dirty, tisk, tisk).
Decided she needed an infuser and just happened to have one that fit really well, it was meant to be!
I threw in a doily and some of that Casablanca herbal blend "tea."
UPS did a wonderful job packing and shipping and it should arrive in Colorado by Friday.
Love my sister, wish I could do more for her!
Me ... and... She
Happy Tea Things Tuesday!!
