I am showcasing my husbands shaving mug with pretty pink flowers on it. This cup date stamped "Germany 89" belonged to his grandfather Avery Robinson. My late father-in-law Carl Robinson lost his dad as a small child. He lost both of his parents and was orphaned by age 5. But this cup belonged to his dad and he gave it to my husband many years ago. My husbands grandfather immigrated to the US from Ireland and the history is very interesting.
My husband has carried this cup with him for many years and we keep it safe in our china hutch. It is bone china and a very unique piece. We will treasure this precious memory and pass it down to one of our children some day.
I am posting the picture here.
Now make sure you stop by some Pink blogs this weekend. There are lots of us out there and we always love & welcome your comments.
Finally I will share my new Pomegranate Lemonade Candle from Bath & Body Works. I was picking up a gift card for my giveaway winner Wendy at and treated myself to a new candle! Yummy!
Next visit Melissa at http://charmschooljewels.blogspot.com/ . She has a sweet blog with lots of pretties and I hope to visit again very soon.
Havem a great weekend everyone!
Happy Pink Saturday Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post. I adore this shaving mug. It is so very delicate and what a history. To know that it traveled so many miles, and survived every one of them. What a family treasure for sure.
Thank you for sharing. I love the chickie socks. They look so soft and comfy. Love the candle too. Aren't their candles just the best?
Have a beautiful Pink Saturday. Country hugs sweetie...Sherry
The shaving mug your DH inherited is truly a family treasure. You're both so lucky to have it both for sentimental value and for it's loveliness.

Hi girlfriend..great post! I bet that candle smells divine..I need to get to bath and body works but I spend too much $$ when I go!
ReplyDeleteLove the shaving mug, what a treasure to have that. So many of us don't have a lot of our ancestors things I know we had to beg my nana for some of her things, otherwise she thought most of what she had was JUNK. Can you imagine? I treasure the few things I have from her.
Those socks are IT..too cute?
have a great weekend, love you..

Nice keepsake. My g-g-grandpa's shaving mug is still in the house he built in 1868. A good friend owns the house now and it's fun to go there and see stuff.
ReplyDeleteNice candle...but I can help you upgrade to something even better than that. Fragrance fans! Go to my Change in a Bottle blog and check them out...yes, I'm shamelessly promoting myself (o:
Have a great Saturday..
Loved your pink feature for today. Everything was great but I love old vintage things, so the mug caught my eye.
