That gave way to toy horses (and cap guns)! Have no idea what happened to the tea set. My Grandmother had sent it to me for Christmas many, many years ago.

Teacups, saucers, plates, etc., plus teapot sugar and creamer. Anyroad, I played with those dishes endlessly, with my working Mumma taking the time to set and play with me. Lovely times, and great memories of the past! Train set! Yes, I also had a train set (really). Sadly my toys were given to younger cousins who did not have the same 'training' in taking care of things that I did. My Lionel trainset in a box, left outside 'out of the rain' but outside. My tea-set smashed to bits! But the memories, I keep!!<br /><br />I'm spending some of my time on the boat scanning old photographs, so come what may, I'll have them going forward. It is grand to live for the future, but to never forget the past.<br /><br />Fair Winds and Following Seas, Chickenmom!<br /><br />Cap'n JanCap'n Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13643165126060623120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2051512728005374779.post-55156663730608122722017-01-10T18:16:03.298-05:002017-01-10T18:16:03.298-05:00We used to cut pictures out of magazines and make ...We used to cut pictures out of magazines and make clothes for them.
