I brought my mum's old miniature willow pattern teaset to school to share. The willow pattern has lots of trees in it like my Mum's old teaset. She used to play with it a lot. Abby and I are having a tea party ( just the right day too - Miss France had cupcakes for Miss Chisholms birthday and we got 1).
Here is a video of the story about the Willow Pattern
The original willow pattern design shows three men crossing a bridge outside a temple, surrounded by trees. There is a boat on the river and two birds overhead.
'Two birds flying high,
A Chinese vessel, sailing by.
A bridge with three men, sometimes four,
A willow tree, hanging o'er.
A Chinese temple, there it stands,
Built upon the river sands.
An apple tree, with apples on,
A crooked fence to end my song.'
