A Dainty Blue Tea

 
Happy Tuesday Dear Friends,
 
Welcome to "A Dainty Blue Tea". 
This delicate Shelley teacup is entitled "Dainty Blue".
 
 
The colors of blue daisy flowers are vibrant against the bright white porcelain background of the china.

It's inner cup is also adorned with blue flowers
 
 
The saucer has a lovely flower outline and almost resembles a white star shaped flower in the middle. 
 
 
 Today I am using a variety of china pieces representing a few countries in our small world.
 
 
 The cream and sugar are Roslyn Fine Bone China and are Made in England. 
 
 
 
 The coffee pot is from West Germany and is entitled 
 
 
Doris Bayerisch-Blau.
 
 
Last night hubby and I entertained my son's soon to be in-laws.  They were born in Indonesia and came to Canada in 1998.
They are so very generous and kind and brought us a nutritious fruit basket including dragon fruit.
 
 
We enjoyed some light and refreshing Jasmine Tea 
 
 
 
And some sweets and treats during our evening together.
 
 
The plate resembles Denmark's Royal Copenhagen.
 
 
We do love our precious daughter-in-law. She and her family are indeed a blessing and a welcome addition to our family. 
 
 
As our Canadian Thanksgiving Day approaches I am thanking God for my loving family, good health and wonderful friends around our small world ~ friends like you!
 
What are you thankful for?
 
 
Thank you for visiting me today for
A Dainty Blue Tea!
Karen

  3. Hello Karen,
    I have this dainty blue too : ) Isn't it paper thin? I love that part.
    Your sugar and creamer, as well as your gorgeous coffee pot look so pretty and fresh. Lovely to share with family and new family... and new things.
    Hugs,
    Terri

  5. Hello Karen,
    What pretty blue china you have shared today. I love the Shelley teacup! It is so dainty and I can almost see through a part of it, it is so thin. Your other pieces are lovely too. I'm sure your son's in-laws enjoyed their visit very much with you. Isn't it lovely when our children find the right mates? Happy Thanksgiving, Karen, and thank you for joining me for tea.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  7. Dear Karen,
    I have the dainty in purple and mauve. I would love to have the blue one like you have. I gave them all to my mother many years ago when I was a teenager working in a gift store. Unfortunately the blue one broke. They have hefty price tags so treasure yours. I adore your creamer and sugar. Also Shelley? They are the finest and most delicate of all, I think.
    How kind of your new almost family to bring you such fruit. I love the basket handles!!!!
    Best, Ruthie from: http://www.ladybstimefortea.blogspot.com
