Sweet Pink Tea

Hello everyone!  Hope you all had a good week!

I'm having another pink tea in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in my pink farm cottage kitchen using my tea table all dressed up in pink.    
.

The floral teapot is musical and one of my favorites.  When I pour tea it sings "Tea for Two".  I found the cup and saucer at two different places.  The teacup is marked Lefton china and saucer is Paragon Golden Emblem, England.  I really love the saucer, so I'm hoping I can find its mate!

Decorating the little ladies bonnet is the last of my perennial sweet peas.  Somehow they missed the light frost we had the other night.

Right after I had this tea I found this sweet pea teacup at a thrift store!  It was half price and only $2.00! I couldn't wait to share this Royal Winchester teacup with you and also the pink cupcake!

Thank you so much for stopping by today and please come visit me again soon!

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

Pink Aster Tea

Hello friends,
Early last week we had some gorgeous weather, in the 70's!  My asters are blooming faithfully in my garden and I just could not resist enjoying one last tea in the garden.

As you know October is Breast Cancer Awareness month so with my tea I would like to share with you a little pink.

Before we share tea lets have a prayer that there will soon be a cure for this horrible disease.

 

I've set the table with two new to me teacups.  They were without their saucer mates, but I have two at home that match ok for now.  The pink cup is marked Coalport bone china, made in England.  The blue cup is marked Grosvenor bone china, England.  These are the first teacups that I have with flowers in the bottom of the cup.  Such a delight to drink from and see the pretty flowers as I finish the tea.

I bought these asters  from Springhill  Nursery in 2008.  The name is Wild Romance, I had to get them for their name alone!  They do have a wild flair to them!  The deer like to nibble on them in the spring so I have different heights of the flowers in my garden.

Thank you for stopping by this week.  I always appreciate your comments so I can tell who has come to tea!

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

Grandma's China Cabinet and Tea

Hello everyone and happy October to you! It has been cool and windy outside lately, but warm and cozy inside our log cottage.

Today I'm joining Sandi at Rose Chintz Cottage.  She is having a special Tuesday of sharing whats inside our china cabinets.  I 'm sharing what is inside my dear Grandmothers  china cabinet I am so blessed to have.  But first lets have tea!

I set my dining room table that also was my Grandmothers with a set of six different fruit patterns that my Mom gave me.  They were made in Bavaria Germany and named "Old Nuremburg".  You'v seen me use them previously in my post "A Simple August Tea".  I  picked the last flowers of summer for a centerpiece and little Nasturtium fairy has come to tea as well!

Now shall we see whats in the china cabinet?

These are the dishes I used for tea today.

The pink chintz tea set is from my Grandmother and the little chair my cousin made me years ago.

Both the plate and teapot were my Moms.  The little teapot has what looks like the Chinese language stamped on the bottom.

A couple pictures of some pretties in my cabinet.

Hope you enjoyed our tea and some of the special items in my china cabinet.  Thank you for visiting and  have a wonderful week!

Autumn Tea

Hello everyone,  I hope your week has been good!

Its a beautiful cool day here so for my tea this week I thought I'd set the table in front of the "outhouse" my hubby built (actually a storage shed).  As you can see the leaves are starting to fall.  So far we don't have a lot of colorful leaves.  It may be because of the dry summer we had.

When I was at the corner grocery store I spied these huge frosted molasses cookies.  When I think of molasses cookies I always think of tea!  The teacup and saucer were separate thrift store finds.  The cups only marking is Japan and the saucer is marked Brookhurst Staffordshire England.  I love the brown transferware dishes and never tire of looking at the quaint scenery on them.  I just finished reading a free book on my Kindle Fire called "The Widow of Larkspur Inn", by Lawana Blackwell.  I thought it was really good  and  it reminds me of the scene on the saucer.

My Brother-in-law gave me the old  bike.  I love the turquoise color!  Well, I can't wait to take a bite of the cookie!  If you were here in person I'd share with you!

Thank you for stopping by!  You all make blogging such a fun hobby!

I'll be joining the following parties:  Teatime Tuesday, Tuesday Cuppa Tea, Teacup Tuesday, Tabletop Tuesday, A Return to Loveliness, Tea in the Garden, Cottage Garden Party, Share Your Cup Thursday, Sweet and Simple Fridays, Home Sweet Home, and  Show and Tell Friday.

Harvest Tea Time

Hi everyone, hope you had a good week!  Thanks for coming by for Tea!

I started to take out my fall decorations seeing its September and the autumn season is upon us with the cool weather we've been having.  I thought I'd do tea in front of my potting shed where you can get a peek of my four square garden in the background.

I'm using a small quilt today for the table covering and teacup and plate I found at a thrift store.  The cup and saucer is Nasco Fruit Festival pattern, and the plate  is Autumn's Delight by Johnson Bros.  I found them at different stores, but they match great to me.  I just love the calico pattern and the fruit motif is perfect for the harvest season.  The teapot is filled with Carrington English Breakfast tea, a nice mellow black tea.

I'm going to enjoy another old issue of Victoria magazine.  They don't ever seem to go out of fashion.  The little watering can is a favorite of mine, a gift from my Daughter-in-law and Son.  The verse on it is so sweet.

Hope you enjoyed my first Autumn tea for this year!  Please come by for tea next week and thank you so much for visiting me.
