VIOLET PICKIN TIME

I know that in some places violets

can become a nuisance in the garden

but not here in my yard.  I treasure

 each one I

find!

I also treasure violet cups and saucers,

teapots and any other items I come across.

Even these little violet ashtrays.

Violets were a common theme for

cups and saucers in the 50's.

They could be purchased at what

was called the "dime store" as gifts

for loved ones who collected them.
