Deine Sammeltassen sind wunderschön und haben durch die vielen Erinnerungen, die damit verbunden sind, einen unschätzbaren Wert. Ich kannte diese schöne Tradition bis anhin nicht. Es ist sehr schade, dass dieser Brauch nicht weiter gepflegt wird. Bei uns in der Schweiz war es üblich, dass die Mädchen zum Geburtstag und zu Weihnachten jeweils eine Gabel, einen Löffel oder ein Messer aus Silber von ihrer Paten und Verwandten erhielten. Das Fehlende wurde dann zur Konfirmation geschenkt. So hatte jedes Mädchen in der Regel das Besteck für die Aussteuer zusammen.<br />Mit lieben Grüssen aus der Schweiz<br />CorneliaMabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02217420922496568633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5642279475515526154.post-78067920804639003512011-06-23T00:37:30.236-04:002011-06-23T00:37:30.236-04:00Sucha wonderful post - the beautiful cups and sauc...Sucha wonderful post - the beautiful cups and saucers and the story of your journey.

If I could only remember our address. I too have a collection of Sammeltassen. They were my Oma's and a few of my mother's. I've added to them as I could find them and I love to set a dessert table with them! Thanks for the many memories flooding through my head.

The first time I flew in a large plane it was by myself...I was 17 (it wasn't a jet plane either) from Cleveland to Detroit for a cousin's wedding when I was in high school. My Dad had a private pilot license and loved to fly...the first time I flew was with him in his little plane I think I was around 16. I have some German in me too. No family records but it was passed down maybe great grandfather was from Hamburg. I loved looking at your beautiful teacup sets.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04664295814876984709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5642279475515526154.post-49930582779878850212011-06-18T12:12:20.005-04:002011-06-18T12:12:20.005-04:00Rita, happy birthday!

I would love to visit Germany; my in-laws have been several times. Your Sammeltassen are just exquisite. All the patterns are truly beautiful, and what wonderful, unique keepsakes for you. We have a set of Bavarian china given to us by my husband's grandmother. It is for our son to have when he has his own home. I do think the Bavarian porcelain is lovely, so dressy and delicate looking. Thanks for sharing this sweet story, and I hope you have a wonderful birthday.<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />DeniseDenise at Forest Manorhttp://houseatforestmanor.blogspot.com/2011/06/our-david-austin-roses.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
