In The Garden With Claudette

Hi everyone,  we are having beautiful summer weather and I am hoping it stays for a long while!  For tea time  this week I wanted to share a tea set I feel so fortunate to have found.





The table is set close by my Hollyhocks and Shasta daisies with lots of Queen Ann Lace intermingling!








I found the sweet teapot at a thrift store a few years ago for $9.00!  The teapot is named "Claudette", made  by Wm. Adams & Sons, England.








I was surprised to find the two teacups and saucers on Ebay  this month for only $18.00 and free shipping.














If you had stopped by I would have shared my salad with you!











And a cup of tea!













Thank you so much for visiting!  Hoping you have a wonderful week!

I will be joining the following parties:  Tea Time Tuesday,  Tea in the Garden,  Tuesday Cuppa Tea, and Teacup Tuesday.

Tea With Rose

Welcome to tea this week!  My roses around my yard are still blooming and last week I enjoyed tea with my William Baffin roses.











A beautiful day and a pleasant time to sip tea from a pretty teacup!  This one is named "Imperial Rose",  made in Bohemia.












The pretty teapot is made by Ellgreave, a div. of Wood & Sons, of England.








The sweet little angel girl reminds me of my dear daughter when young.  Precious memories!














Hope you are enjoying tea time!














Thank you so much for visiting!  Wishing you a wonderful week!

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.
