Inside My Mother's China Cabinet

This is for Estee's week long challenge. Thank you Estee for motivating me to get this lo done. Here is the journaling, which I've added on a tag and hidden behind the top left photo:
After my mother passed away, I inherited her collection of Japanese porcelain, some of which I had never laid eyes on while she was alive. But I had no way of displaying it all. So for more than 20 years, the vast majority of it stayed packed away in boxes, moving from house to house with me. Last year, my father gifted me with their china cabinet, as well as my mother's crystal stemware. So finally, after all these years, I can show off her beautiful hand-painted dinnerware that she brought with her to this country in 1962, as well as tea sets, sake sets, rice bowls, and other little items from Japan. I also included the wooden dolls she brought back to me after her last trip home. There's so much, I'll have to rotate it occasionally, but I think that just makes it even more enjoyable.
