A Friendship and Daffodil Tea

 

 

 

 

Welcome Sweet Friends to

"A Friendship and Daffodil Tea!"

 

 

 

 

 I am so fortunate to have friends like you to join me for tea today.

 



 

Isn't sunny yellow such a cheerful colour to celebrate our upcoming spring month of April?

 

 

Our tea today is named after this Royal Albert lovely teacup~ 
 "Friendship Daffodil."

 

 

I love it's elegant shape and the detailed pattern of dainty daffodils.

 

Sweet Sister gifted me with this gorgeous cup and saucer!

 

I have also chosen a plain yellow Grafton teacup to blend with our spring daffodil theme today.

Of course there's a touch of a pretty pink rose on the inner cup.

I must tell you that yellow doilies, pillows and accents were few and far between in my pink toned home.

Oh good, an excuse to go thrifting!

 

Help yourself to a bought bakery treat.

Thank you friends for joining me today for a
"Friendship and Daffodil Tea!"

Happy Springtime!

Matching Orphaned Rosy Cups and Saucers

 

Welcome Sweet Friends to

 

"Matching Orphaned Rosy Cups and Saucers"!

 

 



 

Today I am once again in the mood for pink and thought it would be fun to match some favourite orphaned cups and saucers. 

 

Only one of the teacups has a matching saucer.

 

The first set has a coalport teacup and

 

 

an Aynsley saucer.

 

I love the inner cup of the coalport .

 

 

 

 

 

 The second orphaned set I have put together is an 

 

 

Adderley teacup

 

 

 and a Royal Grafton saucer.

 

 

Bountiful gold gilt on the saucer accents the pretty pink background.

 

 

I love the large rose and rosebud.

 

 

 

The only matched cup and saucer that I'm sharing today is a treasure that always sits so proudly in the china cabinet. 

 

 

 It is an Aynsley.

 

 

 

 

 

The new to me Sadler tea set was a recent purchase from Value Village.  Did you know if you fill your Value Village card with stamps that you get 30% off?  So the tea set was actually $24.99 with my discount.  I don't receive the pensioners discount yet.  Don't know if that's a good or bad thing.

 

 

I fell in love with the teapot shape and of course the pale pink roses.

 

 

Thank you for visiting

Have a wonderful week!

Pretty Pink Baking Tools

 

Pretty Pink Baking Tools

 

 

I have had my yellow Tupperware measuring cups and spoons for about 40 years.   Could this be possible?

 

 

Perhaps they do look a little worn but they really have lasted well! Do you think it's time to replace them? Baking  should be fun and pretty right?

 

 

It was time for a change and so I looked on e-bay for something pink.

 

 These Tupperware baking cups and spoons were $28 on e-bay.

Am I being extravagant ladies?

 

I did search everywhere for pink measuring cups/spoons and found many much less expensive but they didn't have 6 cups or spoons.

 

 

The pink mixing bowls and large measuring cup I did manage to find at Thrift Stores. They stack so nicely and fit in the drawer perfectly.

 

 

The worst thing about baking is the washing up afterward but if I use my pretty pink tea towels won't it be more fun?

 

 

 

Washing in my new pink washbasin is fun too!

 

 

Now..... what shall I bake?

 

Have a wonderful weekend ladies! 

Today I will be joining Beverly for Pink Saturday!
