What's in Your Cupboard?

Today I'm joining Etsy Cottage Style  blog party "What's in Your Cupboard" so you can see a bit of what is in mine! Way to much I'm afraid, however since everything has a story and each item represents something special from various people or occasions in my life I image most will stay! Of course if something is in there that doesn't fall into these categories it will go in my Shoppe. I'm showing some of our Wedding china in the last pic and giving you the story of that since the rest are separate stories. "American Beauty Rose"the name of this china is a sweet story all in its own. My dear Mother-in-law picked out our china as soon as she knew we were to be married. Being from Canada and this was her only child, her son, my soon to be Mother-in-law decided if her son was marrying an American and she thought I was beautiful, (hence the name of the china) then this was the perfect china for us. She went and registered for us in Detroit and Canada and made sure we would have all the proper pieces. I really didn't know the reason why all this china started arriving before the wedding until years later. Getting married at such a young age we hadn't even given a thought about any of these trivial things. Heck, we just wanted to get Married and as you can see from the previous post a whirlwind romance and fun was to be had. So that is my China story and in case you didn't notice I have a piece of it in my blog header! Don't forget to visit the rest of the blog party participants and thank you all for your visit!
