Tea In The Four Square Flower Garden

Hello dear friends, what glorious weather we have been having!  Nice and warm, a perfect day for tea in my four square garden!

 


Do you remember my butterfly bench I got last year in honor of my precious daughter?  I set a little table in front of it for tea today.

   


While setting the table I thought maybe little "Alice" would like to join us for tea.  I recently found her for $3;00!  She is from Dept. 56, and  named "Tea for Two".  Isn't she cute  trying to pour tea?

 

  


I haven't used any blue's  for tea in awhile and wanted to share the teapot and table cover I recently found at a thrift store.

  


The teapot is a brilliant blue marked with a lion insigna.

The blue transferware teacup is unmarked, but the saucer  is a Ridgeway, named  "Coaching Days". made in Staffordshire, England.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful week!

I will be joining the following parties this week:  Tea Time Tuesday,  Tea In The Garden,  Tuesday Cuppa Tea, and  Teacup Tuesday.

Peonies And Transferware

Welcome to tea time!  Last week I enjoyed tea with my pretty peonies in the garden.

  I'm using  a set of transferware I recently found at a antique mall while traveling back from Florida.  All the tea items are named "Old England".  They are Royal Tudor Ware by Barker Bros.,  England.  The teapot is small, maybe a child's?  It does hold two good cups of tea, though.  The photo doesn't do it justice.  The scene is of a horse pulling a wagon with a boy and his dog standing by.  I love the little spout!  Do you think maybe it's a coffee pot?

  

 

The teacup and creamer have the same scene.  I love that the creamer is a small size.  Perfect for one person who likes a lot of milk in her tea!

The darling dessert plate has a scene of a  little cabin and a Mom with her children.  Life was hard in those days!

The light pink peonies have the best fragrance and lasted longer than usual this year!

I hope you enjoyed my tea time today!  Thank you so much for coming by this week!


I will be joining the following parties this week:  Tea Time Tuesday,  Tea In The Garden, Tuesday  Cuppa Tea, and Teacup Tuesday.

Tea With Queen Gilliflower

Hello and thank you for joining me for tea this week!  I thought today I'd have tea with Queen Gilliflower, or more commonly called Dames Rocket.  These flowers self seed every year and I welcome them in my garden.

 

 


The tea table is set next to my potting shed, where Queen Gilliflower likes to reign.  It has been a beautiful day today, so enjoyable!

Isn't that a sweet praying fairy?  Another gift from my dear sister.

I know some of you have this darling teapot.  I could not resist it when I saw it at Homegoods for only $9.99!

The teacup is another thrift store find while in Florida.  It is marked Lefton China, hand painted.  So pretty with the violets and bit of gold.

I am so glad we are finally getting summer like weather now.  Time to enjoy tea in the garden!

Thank you again for stopping by and I wish you a wonderful week!

I will be joining the following parties this week:  Tea Time Tuesday,  Tea In The Garden, Tuesday Cuppa Tea, and Teacup Tuesday.
