Tea at the Cottage Front Garden
Welcome Friends to Tea in the Cottage Front Garden...
The Hydrangeas are just starting to bloom in colours of pinks and mauve.
The teacups that I have chosen for us are Hammersley Spode also in tones of pink and mauve which I adore. Both are identical shapes but differ in their flower pattern.
Do you see the raised white embossing on both of the saucers?
The tea plates are from Pier 1. I couldn't resist the scalloped edge and detailed see through pattern.
The teapot is made in China.
The miniature cream and sugar bowl are white milk glass. I found these in a little antique mall in Oregon.
There are no markings on the bottom.
Try the tapioca pudding and chocolate chip cookies with your tea.
The pink roses are from the cottage backyard and I just found the pretty pink container at Goodwill for $2.00. I believe it may be a Bavarian cracker jar but the lid was missing. I fell in love with the pastel pink colour!
A kind friend gave me her birdhouse.
Thank you for sharing "Tea at the Cottage Front Garden" with me!
See you soon!
