But your photos are fine. Your teacup story is charming and I think you were a loving daughter to have searched out such a treasure for your mother. Re cameras - I have had my fair share of disasters with them over the years. From a very special Nikon SLR stolen from the back of our car, to various digital cameras from expensive to bargain price which all stopped working without warning after approx 12 months use. Although I now have another quite good, modestly priced digital camera, I invariably just use my mobile phone. As you can see from my blog the pics are fine. I use Bluetooth to transfer them to my laptop or at a photo shop if I want prints. I shall soon be upgrading my mobile phone and intend to choose the one with the best camera!elegancemaisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043236515999573762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5425613571177009427.post-89144971339776741712010-06-26T08:53:56.155-04:002010-06-26T08:53:56.155-04:00Dear Lady Katherine;

My grandmother passed away when I was 7 and for years I had trouble remembering details about her, but this year so many great memories have returned to me. After years of struggle life has become a wonderful journey to me! Have a great weekend!<br />Tina xoMarguerite (Tina) Smith Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06654002122173967940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5425613571177009427.post-72696176261125093482010-06-26T08:30:51.833-04:002010-06-26T08:30:51.833-04:00HI Lorna and thank you so much for the visit and l...HI Lorna and thank you so much for the visit and lovely comment. I have over the years developed a very healthy respect for what the ladies in my family went through taking care of their families during the depression and war. So their possessions, as humble as they may be, are very special to me now and bring me close to them. I am looking forward to sharing more teacups in coming Tuesdays.<br />Tina xoMarguerite (Tina) Smith Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06654002122173967940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5425613571177009427.post-44043497346697503322010-06-26T02:25:23.565-04:002010-06-26T02:25:23.565-04:00Tina,

I did put my link on Terri's blog but I am not sure how things work, I am still not always great with computers. My son can build them from the ground up and is always making fun of the fact that the things scare the heck out of me. If I am not linked to Tea Cup Tuesday just let me know and tell me how the heck to do it, haha<br />Tina xoMarguerite (Tina) Smith Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06654002122173967940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5425613571177009427.post-40301116701975014912010-06-23T17:47:51.001-04:002010-06-23T17:47:51.001-04:00Hi: What an amazing tea cup.

I have one particular tea cup in my collection that has special value to me because it is one I gave my grandmother years ago when I first started working and so excited to be making "real" money. When she passed away, it came back to me and I so enjoy having it in my collection as a reminder of her unique personality.<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by my blog yesterday for my little "Frog Tea Party" ... hope it gave you a chuckle!
