A Spring Violet Tea

Hello and welcome!  Today I'd like to share a tea I had last week at my little farm cottage.  My precious 93 year old Mama spent the day with me and of course we had tea!  I set the table in front of the fireplace as it was a chilly day.

I'm using my violet teapot and cups to welcome spring  and also because they are a favorite of my Moms.

The teapot is stamped on the bottom Formalities by Baum Bro's.  I love the style and all the sweet violets.  The teacups are both a thrift store find. The fancy one is a Lefton,  and the other is stamped Japan.  The little bowl is marked Norcrest, Sweet Violets.

The teapot is filled with Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Sunset tea.  Perfect for a cool day.

Both chairs were a thrift store find!

Thank you so much for visiting and also for your sweet comments. Praying you have a wonderful week!

I'll be joining the following parties this week:  Tea Time Tuesday, Tea in the Garden, Teacup Tuesday, Tuesday Cuppa Tea, Tabletop Tuesday, A Return to Loveliness, Share Your Cup Thursday, Simple and Sweet Fridays, Home Sweet Home, and Show and Tell Friday.

Tea in Saint Paul, Mn.

Hello tea friends!  I have been so busy this week that I never found time to prepare and enjoy a leisurely tea!   So today I thought I would share a tea room my precious daughter and I visited last August.  We enjoyed Lady Elegant's Tea Room in Saint Paul, Mn. so very much!

The table was set with so many pretty tea items.

My daughter choose the Starburst tea, a fruity herbal tea.  I had the Jane Austin Blend, a black tea.

The tea tray arrived when we were choosing our hats!

A wonderful  menu!  Doesn't the food look delicious?

I'm ready to visit the tea room again!  Wish it wasn't so far away!

Thank you for stopping by!  Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!

I will be joining the following parties this week:  Tea Time Tuesday, Friends Sharing Tea, Teacup Tuesday, Tuesday Cuppa Tea,  A Return to Loveliness,  and Share Your Cup Thursday.

Pink Morning Tea

Hello, I hope you all had a good weekend!  We had our first warm weekend for spring!  We stayed overnight at the farm  and thought I'd share some more pink to brighten our day!

It's a gray morning and cold. A good time to linger over  a pot of Northwest Breakfast Tea by Market Spice.  I am using mismatched china I've collected over the years.

I hope you are enjoying my tea time today.  Praying you have a wonderful day and do come back soon!

I'll be joining the following parties this week:  Tea Time Tuesday, Friends Sharing Tea, Teacup Tuesday, Tuesday Cuppa Tea, A Return to Loveliness, Share Your Cup Thursday, Home Sweet Home, Simple and Sweet Fridays, and Show and Tell Friday.

Pink Loveliness

Hello Everyone,  I'm in the mood for some pink pretties and hope you are too!.  Here's some of my pinks I have at my tiny farm cottage.  I'll start in the kitchen as this is the way most people enter the cottage unless I'm having a tea party.  The first thing you see directly across from the door  is my wall cupboard filled with some of my treasures.  I'm collecting  teapots of the moss rose design.  I hope to have  one for each place setting someday.

Here is my china cabinet I painted white.  It started out from two different pieces I found at a thrift shop.  It's  filled with all kinds of gifted and thrift store finds and my Mom's rose dishes.  See the trellis on the right?  I love the lady and the quote, a gift from my sister.

I made the chandelier out of a old light fixture and teacups.

Now let's go into the living room.  On the mantel is my sweet angel, a mirrored birdhouse my Daughter-in-law gave me, and  a cloche with teacups.

Some pinks in my corner cabinet.

In the bookcase are some of my favorite books and garden fairies.

I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my pink lovelies and thank you so much for visiting.  Next time lets have Tea!  Wishing you a wonderful week!

I will be joining the following parties this week:  Make it Pretty Monday, A Return to Loveliness, Home, Share Your Cup Thursday, Simple and Sweet Fridays, Home Sweet Home, Show and Tell Friday, and Pink Saturday.
