spt - the merry month of may

Lelly's Challenge for May: may means *wedding month* to me. and, no, this challenge is not going to be about weddings (unless you want it to be...) this month's challenge is simply something old So since May is "wedding month" I thought I would post something old for both my husband and I. First is his something old. This is a picture of a 1978 Triumph Spitfire. This is my husbands dream. He owns one just like this, that sits in our garage. The dream is that it will one day run, again. It has officially become an antique car. Once in our courtship and early marriage years, it was our car. This is what we used for dating and grocery shopping. Then we had a baby. It only seats two. So it did not get used and now it needs some work. Mary, my eldest, thinks this will be her car in a year. Ha, not sure Daddy will agree to that. But this is my DH's something old.

My something old is this china that I found at an estate sale. I actually have lots of china. Don't tell my DH, but probably more than I need. :-) I LOVE old china, and new china too. But I have some wonderful china that I cherish. This is a picture of only one of my sets. I have a set from my grandmother that I love. I also have some from Alan's grandmother. I not only have a thing for china, but also for Tea sets. So the china I have from my DH's family is a beautiful tea set. I love that it is old and from family and that it is a tea set.

So there you have it. The hubby and wife's "old" treasures.
