A Moss Rose and Hydrangea Tea


Welcome Teacup Lovers to

"A Moss Rose and Hydrangea Tea"


Today I am sharing Royal Albert's Moss Rose Teacup.



I have been fortunate to find the cream and sugar, 



and three tea plates during my treasure hunting travels.


We have had a heat wave on the West Coast and I am loving it.


The hydrangeas have just started to bloom this weekend.
















I thought the umbrella would help to shade us from the sun so that we wouldn't get overly warm during our early morning tea time.


Help yourself to some refreshing  fruit and if you dare ~ a chocolate cookie! 




Thank you for joining me today for


"A Moss Rose and Hydrangea Tea!"


Have a fabulous summer, dear friends!

Karen

  3. Moss Rose is a pretty pattern, I like the tiny blue flowers (forget-me-nots?) peeking out from the pink roses. I really admire the lace cap hydrangeas, they're so feminine and perfect to accompany afternoon tea in a vase.
    I really like the pink lace tablecloth - beautiful!

  6. I do love Royal Albert but for some reason had never seen this pattern. And I love hydrangeas as well. I have a few bushes but they haven't bloomed yet.

  10. I'd love to join you for tea, Karen, in your pretty setting. Your china is so pretty and I especially love your teapot. Is that a butterfly on the top of the lid? The fruit looks so good and I don't mind if I do take a cookie!

  16. You had me at hydrangeas--I love them! I really enjoyed seeing all the different size containers you have them going in. I'm in my second year trying hydrangeas in containers, and it is definitely a work in progress for me. Yours look so lovely! Moss Rose is a beautiful mix with your pretty flowers. Have a great week :)

  18. Hi Karen, what a lovely tea! Your china is so beautiful! I've been collecting the Moss Rose tea items for years, but mine is just the cheap design made in china. Love your pretty setting for tea. I have the same tea cart and what a cute idea to use it as a flower cart. Also love your slip covered chair and umbrella!
