After my Grandmother died, my Grandfather would go shopping with my Mom to get out. They had fun Christmas shopping or buying birthday presents for myself, my brother and our spouses. Pa, as I called him always wanted to get me something nice to keep. Here are some I received one year for my birthday. They are actually Hallmark items.
Pink Cat tea cup, teapot and potpourri jar filled with lavender from my yard.
Sweet Cat faces all the way around the top.
Isn't he cute
I have all these things in my curio cabinet and so appreciative that Pa gave them to me on my birthday.

These are just too sweet! Aren't the icy trees beautiful! I came down 130 today and it looked like tin foil on the trees!
Great, thoughtful gifts. These are treasure you will want to keep for the next generation.
Happy Pink Saturday Ann Sweetie...
Oh what treasures of love from your precious PA. I keep the things in my china cabinet from my Daddy and Momma. They always make me smile, and sometimes I just give them a call, as it makes me think of them. I am grateful to still have my parents, my grands have been gone for over 35 years, and I never got a thing when they passed away. Everything was auctioned off because they did not have a will. It was horrible, and I think of so many little what knots that my grand mother had. Oh how sad it makes me. Truly sad.
Yours are in mint condition, and I know they make your heart "HAPPY" when you see them. That is what is most important. A memory from your sweet PA. I love it.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend sweetie. Many thanks again for sharing. I so enjoyed my visit this evening. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
Such a "sweet" kitty face on that tea cup. It is to die for! HPS!

Love that kittycat. I currently hosting a pink valentine giveaway. Hope you'll stop by!
What darling kitties! I can't resist a cat.
A wonderful remembrance of your Pa.
Oh my Goodness what a beautiful pink teacup. I'm going to send this link to my girlfriend. She is such a cat lover. She needs a little lift in her spirits too, I think this will just do the trick.
Thank you so much for sharing such a lovely Pink Saturday post. Just beautiful

Hello! I love your blog and absolutely adore that picture of your yard! I'm so glad to meet you and I look forward to following your adventures. TY for stopping by my blog.
Ann....Thanks for the visit. My grandmother’s death and the death of the little Roger were devastating to my father and my aunt. Luckily I do have some precious photos of her. I love the little items from Hallmark. Over the years, I have bought some wonderful collectables when they have gone on sale. The potpourri china piece is sweet, too.
What treasures. I'm sure you enjoy them.
These are pretty and look old! The power trucks were just regrouping -we may not have power until early next week. Makes us feel like we are living when the house was built in the 1800's!
Aw what a sweet story! So nice you treasure your "Pa's" gifts. Happy Pink Saturday!
How cute. The teapot is adorable. And so nice that your Grandpa picked out those for you!
What wonderful gifts that your Grandpa gave you! I adore that kitty tea pot, it's just darling! And the jar and tea cup are beautiful!
It is wonderful that you have these with the memory of your grandfather.Blessings, and Happy Pink Saturday! Debbie
