Pitcher and Bowl

Out from storage.......
If your like me, you have things
hard to part with, so
they are tucked away for another day.
The pitcher and bowl set,  seen here,
is quite old, considered an antique,
I suppose.  It is quite clearly, very dear to me.
At one time, I admired it completely,
while placed  on a sideboard in my
youngest daughter's home.  When
her home decor took on a more modern look,
she placed the pitcher and bowl,
 along side other items,
intended for "yard sale."
"Oh no!" I cried out!  "How much
do you want for these?"
She very lovingly placed them in my
arms and I gleefully accepted them.
"They're  yours Mom, enjoy."
A few years have passed, and
the pitcher and bowl set
has been out of sight and
out of mind, until now.
While sorting through stored
boxes this week,
I found these "old  pretties."
They had been removed from my decor
a  long while back,
for I too had grown
tired of  them and
they some how no longer fit in.
Another day,
finally came this past week when
my eyes again beheld
the white porcelain loveliness
of the pitcher and bowl set.
I washed and dried them, admiring
each and every detail.
They  appeared  more lovely than I
remembered.
I wanted to place them where
I could see them each day. I had
missed how they gave the room an
old fashioned comfortable feel,
and already my heart was
feeling an old felt pleasure.
In plain view for all to see,
I have placed them in the living room, on a
small wooden chair.
I suppose if the truth be known, they
look a bit out of place.
  But,  I have reasoned
that they look just fine, for now.
 If  I'm the only admirer,  of
this long ago necessity for wash up,
then so be it.

Sweet Tuesday blessings for all......Dee Dee
