Happy May!


Hello My Sweet Tea Friends!

I've missed you.

The renovations at the cottage are still in progress and it continues to be a busy time for me.




This rosy teapot today resembles the Sadler Cube but it is marked Windsor so I believe it is a newer version.



Hubby and I had some dear friends today for lunch at the cottage so I dashed out in the pouring rain and cut some deep purple lilacs that are just starting to bloom - flowers just brighten the house, don't they?

Unfortunately with this weather lately,  there will be no Teas in the Garden for me this week. 






A few pics of the renos.....





I took home one of my china cabinets and I am now short of storage so I decided to arrange some of my pretties in a basket.  It actually holds quite a few teacups and they are much easier to find and use.




I recently found some cane back chairs at Re-Store and I plan to paint  them white....more projects for a sunny summer day.  I can't wait!








Thank you for stopping by today.

I am anxious to visit you all soon!

Wishing you a Wonderful First Week of May!

  4. Dear Karen:
    I love your colors in the cottage. I don't know if you call it aqua or Robin's Egg blue but with the pink and white everything looks amazing. Your kitchen looks beautiful and I love your new floors! Thanks for sharing and linking.
