Thanksgiving Table

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a good week!

Today I'd like to share what I plan to use on my table for Thanksgiving.  We usually have a large gathering at my house or a relatives, but this year there will only be four of us.  I'll have the usual roast turkey and all the trimmings, but on a smaller scale, making sure there will be enough for leftovers, yum!

I've set the table with a set of  brown transferware dishes named Cavalier by Royal China. Sussex, made in USA.  I picked up the whole set for just a few dollars!  When I found the four pheasant plates by Rubel  I was so delighted.  I knew what I wanted to do with them!

I found the set of pheasant water glasses at a thrift store, also.  My Grandsons like to use them every time they come over.

The teapot is from Target.  Its heavy and makes a good large pot of  tea.

I'm using an old wicker basket fulled with a rattan pumpkin and a little boy statue for the centerpiece until the turkey takes center stage!

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends.

I'll be joining the following parties:  Teatime Tuesday,  A Return to Loveliness, Friends Sharing Tea, Tabletop Tuesday, Show and Tell Friday, and Pink Saturday.

Fireside Tea

Hello everyone.  Happy November to you!

Welcome to tea this week.  I have a new teapot to share with you!  My precious daughter gave me a early Christmas gift!  I've always wanted a brown transferware teapot and it is such a beauty!

Along with the teapot is a very special teacup given to me from my childhood girlfriend.  It is marked Wedgewood,  Embossed Queensware.

My teapot looks to be very old.  The only mark on the bottom that I can see is a block style B indentation along with two streaks of indented dashes.   Do you see the cows lying in the middle of the lane?  I love the sheep on the teapot lid!

I placed my Grandmothers stool in front of the cabin fireplace and covered it with a tea cloth trimmed with crochet.  You can see the reflection of my dining room windows in the fireplace.

Here's a peak of my Grandmothers stool leg.  Pretty risque for being my Grandma's!  Wish I knew the history of the stool.

Thank you for letting me share my new teapot.  Now I'm suppose to wrap it for Christmas eve (maybe the day before I will!).

Thank you for coming by and have a wonderful week!

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

Moss Rose Tea

Hello everyone.  Hope you all had a good weekend.

Welcome to tea this week!  We've had lots of wind and rain this past few days.  I've been at the little farm cottage trying to finish the outdoor chores before old man winter sets in.

Its a gray day and it feels so right to have a cozy tea with you.

.

I'm using the table in front of the living room window for tea, covered with a colorful patchwork quilt.  I love my Moss Rose teapot lamp I found in Sarasota Fl. many years ago at a thrift store..  That piece started me on a hunt for the tea set, which I found through the years.

Most of my pieces are unmarked and I got them for just a few dollars.

Please help yourself to some tea and a blueberry sweet I have especially for you.

I crocheted the white granny square afghan years ago.

Looking out the window we often see the neighbors cows grazing across the country road.

Thank you so much for coming by for tea this week and please stop by again soon!

Front Porch Tea

Hello friends and welcome!

When autumn arrives with the cold weather we usually get a streak of glorious warm days what we call Indian Summer.  During one of those days I took a break from working in the flower garden and enjoyed a cup of tea on my front porch.

You've seen my teacup and teapot before, but the sweet little creamer is a new one.  My dear friend I met last winter in Florida gave me a set of two in different sizes.  They are marked Rural England, Mid Winter Ltd,  Burslem England.

Years ago I made the sampler.  The motto holds so true.

I've finally brought my geraniums in to stay.  We are getting too many low temps at night.

Grab a cup of tea and I'll share some random photo's with you of our front yard.  This one is of our log home with wild woodbine vine across the top of the garage.

Here's the view from my porch looking toward our driveway.

Next photo is my rose arbor partially covered with woodbine vine.  If you remember,  I had a tea last June under the rose arbor.

My front porch decorated for fall.

I have lots of bittersweet vines this fall.  Hubby cut down part of the vine for me as they were climbing up the nearby tree.  I had lots to share with neighbors and friends.

Well, that's about it from my little corner of the world for this week.  Thank you for stopping by and visiting me. Thank you in advance for all your comments!

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