"Take Ye A Cuppe O' Kindness For Auld Lang Syne"

Happy New year dear friends!  Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

I thought this would be a good time to share my "Take Ye A Cuppe O' Kindness For Auld Lang Syne" teacup and saucer with you!

The over sized teacup is made by The Rowland & Marselius Co.  Staffordshire, England.  The saucer has lots of crazing and a chip on the side, but still a good buy for $12.00!

Look what my grandson and girlfriend gave me for Christmas!  What a surprise!  My poor dishes!  But what a cuddler, just what I needed!

Some more of my china hutch decorated simply for Christmas.  I love the square plate by Johnson Bro's.  Named "Country Life".

On the top of the hutch a Royal Tudor Ware teapot named  "Olde England", and made by Barker Bro's. ltd, England.  My two china dogs, what are they looking at?

Some more Christmas decorations around the house.  A Johnson and Bro's. Friendly Village platter named "The Covered Bridge". on the mantle.

A darling Grace's teacup, a Christmas gift from last year.

I changed my tea cart during Christmas week, using my "A Cup Of Christmas Tea" teapot and teacups.

One more thing to share with you!  I found this needlepoint teapot cozy at a thrift store recently.  I am sure it has never been used!

Well now I am ready for tea!  Look at the sweet teacup!  It is stamped  Yuletide Series, N-C-336A, hand painted.

Harney & Son's Hot Cinnamon Spice tea and the last of the Christmas cookies!  Wish you could join me!

Thank you so much for stopping by!  May you have lots of blessings this New Year!

Red Transferware Christmas

Hello everyone!  Happy December to you and thank you for visiting!

Last summer I bought a used tea cart and today I had fun decorating it for the Christmas season.

The tea cart is all ready for holiday guests.  A coffee pot, hot chocolate pot, and two teapots to hold special holiday tea's.

Cranberry orange scones and bread pudding in the tureen for tea today.

Not much snow so far.  That's okay with me as long as it snows on Christmas Eve!

I bought the red toile Christmas quilt at Homegoods last year and this year I found the sweet set of four dessert plates there.  The plates are made by 222 Fifth and named Poinsettia Toile.  I love the quaint scene!

I am hoping you all are having a blessed Christmas season!  Merry Christmas early to you!

P.S.  Life is very busy for me helping to take care of my family, so I will be posting only as time permits in the New Year.  Wishing you a wonderful New year!

A Late October Walk Into The Woods

Welcome and come with me for a walk in the woods.

Into the woods a scurrying  I heard.  Before I knew it a table appeared.

It was laden with teaware, a little sp00ky,  I fear!!

A part of a cookie was all that was left, but the tiny woodland creatures were enjoying that!

The tea was still warm, the teacup half full, as though someone left very swiftly I'm sure!

The wind started howling and lighting struck quick.  As fast as I could I fled from the woods!

Before I knew it I awoke from my nap.  Hoping I'd never dream again about that!!


Thank you for walking with me in the woods!

Brown Transferware For Fall

Hello and welcome!  Fall weather is here to stay for a while and it sure has been cool lately!  Today I am staying inside and sharing with you my collection of brown transferware.   I started collecting transferware about the time I started this blog, about four years ago!  I know so many of you collect transferware and I love seeing what you have!  We live in a log cottage and the brown colors of the transferware add a nice touch of country warmth.

Most of my brown transferware is here in my little Welch cupboard.

The top shelf holds most of my Windsor Ware by Johnson Bros.  The china dogs were given to my dear son when he was very young, by his grandmother.

The middle shelf holds more of the Windsor Ware along with more transferware.

This teapot is named England's Heritage, made by H. Aynsley & Co.

And this teapot is named Royal Mail, by Myott.

The dishes on the buffet shelf are mostly my collection of  Olde English Countryside, by Johnson Bros.

I've had lots of fun looking for brown transferware!

Now, please choose a teacup and I'll put the kettle on!

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