A Hair Cut and Service for Eight

Talk about a great promotion....A Hair Cut  & Service for Eight

What you say....she gets a hair cut and china!  What kind of salon does she go to and what's the address?  Well I must admit this isn't the "norm" for me but my dear hairdresser had a full set of china plus serving pieces that had been her mama's that she gave me when I went in for my last haircut.  Her mama had passed  last year, leaving behind a lifetime of home decorating items.  She had owned a gift store in our little town for many years and in her home were boxes of stock from the store that she just couldn't part with when she closed the store.

Its a very pretty rose pattern with greens and muted yellow and a delicate gold rim.  The only writing on the back is in Chinese so I have no idea who the manufacturer is.  

This was my dear mother in law's silver, it certainly isn't something that I would have picked out for myself but I love it because she gifted it to me.

I went to market this morning to pick up some sunflowers for the kitchen and stopped to buy a couple of little tussy mussy boquets for the bedrooms.  This silver holder is one that was gifted to me by my friend Sheila.

And the crystal was gifted to me by my friend Kathy, the full set had belonged to her mother.  It will go to my daughter in law (Kathy's daughter) when she finds the right piece to display it in.

I feel blessed to have friends and family who entrust me with their family treasures.
