How Many Tears

                                                                 ... how many tears will fit inside
                      
                                            ... my grandmother's blue willow tea cup

                                                                        ... this small cup / that once held snowflakes

    1. Isn't that a beauty? My great grandmother's blue willow set belonged to me, but I have passed it on to another family member, keeping a few pieces for myself. The gal that took that photo did a great job!
