ready and waiting


My mother gave me these punch cups with her punch bowl long ago. I never dreamed how often I'd use them--especially the cups, as I did for hot cider the other night. They are very old, but sturdy and just keep going. As I looked at them lined up on a festive tray, I just had to get my camera. I'm such a "visual" person!


Linking up to Mary's Little Red House for Monday's Mosaics!

  2. The Great Dane just rolls his eyes when the camera comes out!
    Punch bowls and cups are great things to have stored in the back closet for times like these.
