Teacup Organization

Ever since I was a little girl I would go to my Grandma's house and admire the glass figurines and teacups she has lined up in her living room and dining room. In most recent years I've really looked at the teacups in detail and they are so pretty and dainty. My Great-Grandmother Ware collected them and used them for her tea drinks daily.

Grandma has started to hand me down special things over the years, specifically Great-Grandma's ruby ring (we are the only two in the family who share July birthdays and ironically the exact same ring size), one of the figurines from the living room that I used to eye, and a few teacups and saucers, among other things. Someday, when I have a giant hutch with a glass door to put these all in I will do just so. But what to do with the teacups now?

For now they are serving great purpose in the top drawer of my Great-Grandmother's old dresser I have in my room holding all my whosits and whatsits galore, mostly pertaining to jewelry.

Neat that you have these items from your grandmother. I have some things from mine too and I cherish them.
