A Touch Of Valentine

Happy Valentines Day everyone,
We are being snowbirds for a month or so in Florida.  Love the warm sunny days!  I've enjoyed everyone's Valentine posts so much so decided I'll try one from here.  I was lucky to find this lace tablecloth and teacup at a thrift shop here, so with a few extra things I've decided to bring this to you!

The teacup is marked Germany.  I love the sweet pink and green combination together.

Hope you all have a wonderful Valentines Day with your family and friends.  Thank you so much for visiting.

Pink Tea

Hello everyone, I thought Id share one more tea party I had a few years ago.

I used a tablecloth a friend of mine made for me.  If you look closely you'll see the teapot and teacup design.  Again, I'm using my rose dishes with the teapot to match.

Last winter we had a gas corner fireplace installed, so the large wall shelf had to go.  I'm still hoping to find a place for it in my little cottage.
Again, sorry about the date on the pictures.  Thank you so much for stopping by, Nancy

Tea Party Reminiscing

I've been going through some of my old pictures and thought I'd share with you an Afternoon Tea I gave a few years ago at my little farm cottage.  I quickly cleared away my two wing back chairs and a few side tables and I was ready to set up tables and decorate. Its been such fun to plan and give teas here for friends and relatives. Most of my tea accouterments have come from thrift shops and generous gifts from relatives and friends.

I used my collection of rose china I got from my Mom.  She gave me her service for eight and I was lucky to find another set for eight!

For this Tea I made a stuffed lady and had her sitting in the rocking chair on the front porch enjoying a cup of tea. She turned out so cute and everyone wanted their picture taken with her.

Thanks for letting me reminisce.  Please excuse the date on the photos -  I never dreamed I'd be blogging back then!
Today I'm sharing with the following parties:

Vintage Highchair And Tea

Happy New Year everyone!
While putting away some of my Christmas decorations I decided to have one last cup of tea using my December teacup.  I set it down on my vintage highchair and took a few pictures to share.

My Mom got the highchair over 70 years ago and I've been the proud owner for at least 30 years.  The highchair had many coats of paint on it.  To my surprise when I stripped it in the 80's the beautiful design of the back showed up!  The highchair served well for my five grandchildren and how holds teddy bears and indoor plants.

Thankyou for visiting,
Nancy

Pink And White Christmas

Seasons Greetings!
The farm cottage is decorated and ready for Christmas.  I have so much fun decorating the fireplace mantel.

This is the first year at the farm cottage for my white tree.  I bought it at a after Christmas clearance sale for $7.00!  Here are a few  closeups of my favorite ornaments.

In front of the large picture window is the silver tea set gifted to me from my hubbys family.  I'll post more on this wonderful gift later.
Thank you for stopping by during this special season.

Christmas Farm Cottage Cupboard

Merry Christmas everyone,
Today I thought I'd share some pictures of my cottage cupboard.  It was originally a dark oak.  This is how it turned out for Christmas.

I love this Christmas card my friend gave me.

Pictures of a few of my favorites on the shelf.

You can see a peek of my cottage living room and white tree.  You'll have to come back another day to see more!

Christmas Tea

Merry Christmas everyone,
Today I'm sharing my collection of blue Christmas plates.  The dates bring back so my happy memories of
past Christmas teas and meals with family and friends.

I bought the teapot years ago to go with the blue and white tea cups my mom gave me.  I was excited to find the squirrel  a couple of years ago on a shopping trip.

The Christmas plates on the back state "A happy holiday to you", Royal Crownford by Norma Shermen, Staffordshere England.

Thank you for visiting and have a blessed Christmas season.
