Sometimes the good Lord brings people into your life for a season.
Sometime they are in it for the long haul.
A friend at work is one of those people.
She and I worked together from 1981-1984 when I was a brand new teacher.
She took me under her wing, helped mentor me and she made me laugh.
That is essential in the education field.
During this stint we have worked together for 23 years.
She knows that I love junk and antiques and she doesn't have any children of her own.
Over holidays she brought me a small bundle that was wrapped in a plastic bag.
Once it was unrolled...
I nearly fell over.
After a quick polish, they are remarkable.
I'll let you in on a secret.
I believe in using beautiful things so these will be used.
They are all different with gorgeous Art Nouveau detail.
The Art Nouveau style was popular between 1890 and 1910.
Curvy and ornate, the style depicts natural elements such as fruit and flowers.

They are hanging out in one of my new mugs.
They are a sweet reminder of the many years we have known each other.
Stunning.
Thanks for stopping by.
