After searching relentlessly and thinking over the pros and cons of a variety of kitchen tables, my Mom finally bought herself one. She even went so far as to have a glass top made to protect it. You have to understand, she is not one for spontaneous or impulsive purchases. Unfortunately, I did not inherit this trait from her.

When taking photos of her new pride and joy, I came across a piece of china that belonged to my late grandmother - "mimi."
I loved it's delicate look and included in today's photographs.

Have a wonderful week!

Nice work "mom"! The tea cup is so delicate, beautiful! DancingDolphin · 2008-03-30: 19:32

That is a really cool table. I like the color and shape a lot. Those tea cup shots are great. They really show the delicate nature of the cup! PaperWings · 2008-03-30: 20:10

Love the natural light in the first shot (I'm such a fan of natural light vs flash)...the new table seems to suit her kitchen :-) I love old-fashioned teacups, they hold so much charm. Anjie · 2008-03-30: 20:13

I really like the table, especially the glass top. I'm partial to that sort of thing too. ;) The teacups remind me of the collection my mother has inherited from her mother and grandmother also. aurian · 2008-03-30: 20:13

Oh, love the china! I'm surprised mom chose what looks like a tall table and stools. She must be fit enough to get up and down from those, huh !! Good for her! Love the table centerpiece too! oldbabe · 2008-03-31: 20:46

What a beautiful piece of china!!! :) Gorgeous. My mum has a little collection of china cups - perhaps I should photograph them one day :D Really nice choice on the table too - does she have a small space to work with? (as oldbabe has noted, looks like bar stools and a higher table). Peche · 2008-03-31: 23:48
