Gothic Arches Challenge - Vintage Toys

This week's Gothic Arches challenge is: "Toys - vintage or favorite from childhood."

I've always loved this picture of my grandmother, Virginia (1913) . I wonder, what would it have been like to join Virginia for Tea?

Catherine, your arch is gorgeous. I love the picture of your grandmother. Little girls used to play tea parties with their stuffed animals and dolls just as you have in your arch. Your picture is a treasure.
