This is Jeana Ivey, Beijes sister in Sweetwater, Texas when we're little girls we played with a minature porcelain tea set. It had purple flower on it. Two are three years ago Beije said Jeana do you know what my favorite gift is that you gave me. I said I do not have an ideal.I gave her a minature tea set with pink flowers. She said it's my favorite because we use to play with that tea set that had purple flowers. The minute I saw that in the store to buy. I knew she would love it
