Blog Your Blessings & Nostalgic Saturday

Did you or you Mother or Grandmother collect the wee Red Rose tea figurines?

My Mom collects both the Red Rose, and Tetley tea figures, and over the years I've been given bunches of duplicates.

I remember growing up in the early 70's and eagerly awaiting the next box of tea my parents would buy with the little treasure inside.

My blessing this week comes in the form of someone putting out a whole bunch of these wrapped up in a tin box with a note saying "FREE" please take on it. It was like being a little kid all over again! I have no idea why these people were getting rid of them, but what is one person's garbage is another's treasure came immediately to my mind. The photos you see above are in part the newbies that were added to my own collection. In total there were about 50 figurines in the tin box.

Thank you for stopping by, and wishing you all the best this weekend, and in the week ahead :)

Abbey's (the originator of Nostalgic Saturday) blog no longer seems to be active, and I have no idea if anyone is participating anymore. I would like to keep it going so will continue posting Nostalgic Saturday entries. Please let me know if you participate.
