Sharon, Thanks for the lovely story. As always you find the heart.
I have a few of those kinds of pieces around my house too. The one I laugh over and love, is the cracked and chipped teapot and sugar bowl from my great great grandmother. It was said to have come through the civil war, but from the looks of it the minnie balls must have come close enough to take a chip or two in passing.
I hope you enjoyed a good birthday and will have a lovely Thanksgiving.
We have so much for which to be thankful, I am making my gratitude list.
