teacup

For some reason I decided to clean out the china cabinet.  I came across a teacup with a sweet note from my great aunt Florence.

"This is the last of eight of these beautiful cups your great grandmother Mary Kenny Jones gave me as a shower gift before I was married May 15, 1933."

Additionally, my Grandma Pat sent me an email saying "I last saw it in Aunt Flo's china cabinet in Palo Alto during Flor's granddaughter's wedding.  The service of eight was given to mom as a wedding present in the early 1920's.  Imagine, nearly one hundred years old!"
