Mr. and Mrs. Mallard have set up residence in the pond. Right now they are off visiting other ponds in the area so I can now prepare for Tea without disturbing them!
I chose my pink calico quilt for a table covering and used my transferware dishes I've started collecting. I only have these four pieces so far and I'm on the hunt for more!
The cup and saucer are unmarked. The dessert plate is marked "Four Seasons - England " and the creamer is "Taylor Smith, USA". I wonder who owned them before me and what kind of home they were in.
My lilacs are just starting to bloom so picked a few for Tea.
Thank you for visiting me and letting me share a little piece of our log home property.
I'll be joining the following lovely parties:
Tea Time Tuesday
Teacup Tuesday
Tuesday Cuppa Tea
A Return to Loveliness
Friends Sharing Tea
Outdoor Wednesday
Share Your Cup Thursday
Teacup Thursday
Home Sweet Home
Pink Saturday

I want to start collecting the red transferware, too. It's a favorite of mine. Your setting is so pretty. I love your angel presiding and praying over the tea. Do you have any tips on finding little cottages, etc. for your fairy garden?
