Happy Anniversary

I was married 51 years ago today.
We have started a new tradition so I can mark the occasion with a special afternoon tea. 
Eldest Son made a carrot cake and Youngest Son joined us for tea and cake.

The dove-and-ring ornament on my slice of cake is the only decoration I still have from my wedding cake.
This particular cup set always reminds me of my husband as he used to make tea in it for me on special occasions. 
Sweet memories 💖

  1. All those special dates are bittersweet, aren't they? Thankfulness for happy memories, good times and sadness they're memories not being newly minted. The cake looks yummy, and the cup set is a treasure.
