Today I had a lucky find at the Vancouver Flea Market.
This pretty pink teapot was Made in England and was just $10.00!
Happy Pink Saturday!

A Tapestry Tea
Welcome Dear Friends to
"A Tapestry Tea".
Today I am using Paragon's "Tapestry Rose".
This Paragon china pattern has beautiful pink roses on a white background with a tapestry appearance.
The teacup has a pedestal base. The foot and fancy handle are all finished in gold.
Perhaps Earl Grey would be a nice change from my favourite Orange Pekoe tea.
Would you like some chocolate or almond cookies with your hot cup of tea?

Or if you would prefer grapes, please help yourself.
While treasure hunting this weekend hubby found another cake plate (above) to add to my collection. It was just $3.99 at Second Chance Thrift Store.
The "Price Kensington" teapot was a gift for my dear mother-in-law many years ago and I inherited it back after she sadly passed away last year.
The lid is covered in gold.
The cream and sugar are so dainty and the tiny matching plate holds them perfectly in place.
It is a very dark and dismal fall day here today and the end of summer geraniums are covered in the showers of rain.
It was so nice to share the comfort of a cup of tea with you today.
Thank you for joining me for
"A Tapestry Tea!"
Have a wonderful week!

A Colourful Cottage Tea
Welcome Sweet Friends
To
"A Colourful Cottage Tea"
The last few days at the cottage have been rainy, cloudy and windy. Hubby is off for the week and was hoping to golf but unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate so far.
Today I am hoping the rain will stay away long enough for us to share tea near the colourful flowers.
As you can see the impatiens have not yet been affected by the cooler weather.

Yesterday I found this colourful floral teacup at Aurora Antique Pavillion in Edmonds, Washington.
I had been searching for one for a long time since I had the luncheon plate. Long ago I had just the saucer but when trying to clear out my cupboards, I gave it away. I am one of those people who always regrets parting with pretty mismatched China pieces.
I find the bright variety of flowers so pleasing.
The teacup and luncheon plate are a Crown Staffordshire, Made in England.
The luncheon plate is stamped with the Birks store emblem. It is a well-known Vancouver jewellery store. I am not sure if it still sells China.
If you are feeling chilly, please do wrap up in the soft cashmere blanket.
Although I am sad to say good-bye to summer on September the 21st
I am looking forward to the beautiful colours of fall!
The official first day of autumn is September the 22nd.
I want to thank Bernideen for hosting "Tea in the Garden Tuesday" and inspiring me to participate all summer long.
I really enjoyed visiting such lovely outdoor Blogspots!
Thank you so much Bernideen!
I had such fun and look forward to doing it all again next year!
I hope that you will also enjoy the colours of autumn as they fall upon us!
