Welcome Friends to
A St. Patrick's Day Tea!
Today I have set up our tea time by the front window. Instead of the usual choices of pink china I have chosen some green teacups that are more appropriate for our upcoming St. Patrick's Day celebration on March 17th.
Last week a good friend of mine had a specialist appointment at St. Paul's Hospital in Downtown Vancouver. She needed some company so I went along. When we arrived we had time for a coffee at Starbucks and we noticed a quaint shop closing out. I found this new fringed lamp for $4.99. I plan to chalk paint the base but right now I am enjoying it's green for St. Patrick's Day.
This Colclough teacup has a pattern of dark green leaves with brown branches. I found it at the Croatian Retro and Antique Flea Market in Vancouver for $2.00.
Sweet Sister gave me this perfect shamrock Aynsley cup and saucer.
The teapot was a gift from one of my students.
I found the Adderley shamrock creamer on one of my treasure hunts for a reasonable price.
Don't you think Green Tea would be a healthy and appropriate choice for our tea today?
Thank you for joining me today for a
St. Patrick's Day Tea!
Have a Lovely Week!
