Mother's Day Special--- Morning Glory in Royal Albert's cup
Mother's Day is approaching, I wish every mother in the world a happy mother's day.
If there is one tea cup that reminds me of my childhood memory with my mother, it's this set with morning glory all around the cup by Royal Albert.
I remember when I was a child, my mother took me to school everyday in a bicycle. It's a 10--15 minutes ride. There was a small path that we passed everyday, the path was always decorated with wild flowers that had no names.
One morning I saw some purple flowers peeping out from the green leaves, the petals were in light purple gradually faded into the white. My mother told me that the flowers were called morning glories. It's said that they open in the morning and close at night. So I had to wake up early and passed that little path to see the blooming flowers on the way to school.
Now I have not seen morning glory for a while, I do miss that little path that leads to school.
Happy Mother's Day!
I am joining Terri and Martha for tea cup Tuesday.

Hi Felicity,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to celebrate Mother's Day, by sharing another beauty from your collection!
I loved reading about your childhood memories and the association with the morning glories of your cup. That violet shade, the ruffled pedestal, the choice of flowers, make it unique!
Another great post!
