In fact, I never even knew she liked them. It was such a surprise because tea pots are a fascination of mine (I have many) and yet she never said a word to me about it. I was able, from talking to my aunt, to discover which one was her favorite. It was a blue moonstone pot her favorite brother brought back for her from the WWII.Calensarielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316498514995616153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-20845605297505313822018-04-09T20:32:19.724-07:002018-04-09T20:32:19.724-07:00Sue, for some things we have to make up our own st...Sue, for some things we have to make up our own stories.
