Vintage Memories

Hi Everyone
Happy Saturday

This is the sweetest 
vintage sugar and creamer
set

{Love}
the hand painted roses
I found the set at a thrift store years ago
When I got home I found a small note and some brown leaves
inside the sugar bowl
The note says..

Johnny and Jenny had a walk by the lake
He left for service a few hours later



I do not know who the people are
or what happened but I have saved the
note and the leaves just the way I found them
A Memory Saved for all time

    Romantic message, sounds like Johnny & Jenny
    took a hand held walk around the lake just hours before he left for war "service", she gathered leaves where they left footprints together......

  21. That is a beautiful set, but an even more wonderful history behind it. I love finding treasures that tell us a bit about the person who owned our antiques before us. Have a great week!
