I'm using a teapot and teacup that I found last year at a thrift shop. The teapot is marked Occupied Japan. I love the sweet pink and blue flower spray and the elongated style of the spout.
The teacup is unmarked but has a pretty shape to it.
You can see a little bit of my yard with the flower beds. Not much blooming yet. We are way behind last year, as it has been a cold spring for us with just a few warm days here and there.
We are expecting a frost tonight. I sure hope that will be our last one! Hopefully this week I'll buy my annuals and fill my window boxes and flower pots.
Thank you so much for taking the time to visit me. I always look forward to hearing from you!
I'll be joining the following parties this week: Tea in the Garden, Tuesday Cuppa Tea, Teacup Tuesday, Table Top Tuesday, A Return to Loveliness, Cottage Garden Party, Simple and Sweet Fridays, Home Sweet Home, Show and Tell Friday, and Saturday Showoff.
Your tea table is so pretty set against the white cherry blossoms. I see your deck is off the ground too, but not up in the tree tops like ours. :-)
ReplyDeleteA nice teapot and teacup you found.

Your setting is so beautiful with the cherry blossoms in the background, Nancy. I was intrigued by a glimpse at your garden with the outline/borders created by what looks to be lamb's ears. My mother collects Occupied Japan pieces. Your teapot and teacup are lovely.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cherry blossoms and a lovely tea table. That teapot was a great find. Thanks for sharing it!

ReplyDeleteHi Nancy,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful setting to have that perfect cup of tea; so consoling! Your cherry tree is stunning as is your surrounding garden, lush and green, and your special teapot, quite the romantic! A very serene scene~

Hi Nancy! What a beautiful yard you have - even with little blooming, as you say. You are higher than us in South Jersey - so you are enjoying your cherry blossoms now. We said good-bye to ours a month ago! And, lilac season is past. All the roses are out now. Quite lovely. What a great thrifting find - that Occupied Japan pot. So bright and colorful. I usually see the occupied Japan ones in darker colors. A splendid tea! Looking forward to more flowers the next time!
ReplyDeleteJoy!

My first impression was you were having tea outside in the snow ! What a beautiful tree. Your yard is lovely, I want to see more of it as it blooms
ReplyDeleteThe teapot & teacup are very pretty . It is amazing the teapot has survived un-chipped and unbroken all these years. Think of the history that teapot has been used through.
Oh your tree is beautiful! I have one like it and it is such a show when it blooms. Like yours, it is a heavenly place to have tea. Your tea pot is very pretty, and I love your tea cup too. They have a similar shape to them, and so compliment very well.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to have the blooms now. I hope your frosts are done, and you get to do your planting.
Hugs,
