My grandmother is downsizing. A couple of weeks ago, she gave me some of her Pope Gosser wedding dishes from 1952. I’ve made it a point to incorporate them into daily life, which, given their delicate prettiness, has been easy. The cups and saucers are a wonderful addition to my tea ritual.

Dunc adores me, but he’s such a Papa’s boy.

Back off, Mama! He’s mine!
Duncan’s been on a roll lately with the cuteness:

Today is my fifth wedding anniversary with The Chef! We’ll be painting the town a few different colors! See you tomorrow.
