Day 8
Daily Photo:
This is a little creamer set that was an engagement present from a family friend in 1990. She bought it when she was young and on a trip to England. She passed it on to me because I love all things tea-related.
These little china pieces are a symbol of a phase we are in as a family. It is a bit of a purging cycle. I am working to reevaluate the necessity of most of our possessions. I had totally forgotten I had this until I was rearranging a cabinet. The criteria I am using for most things is that if I have forgotten that I even had them, they need to go. But this set is special.
If it stays then I need to use it. What’s the point of having things stored away? Things should be enjoyed. Otherwise those things own us, we don’t own them.

Lovely photo and post, thank you. I only learned recently to stop keeping things for ‘best’ and never actually using them…and it’s made life shinier:)
