Pink and Mint Green for Tea

Welcome Sweet Friends To

"Pink and Mint Green For Tea!"

Today I am sharing two matching dainty
mint green teacups.

The background almost looks like polka dots from a distance.

Love the Pink Roses!

The mint green teapot and pink cream and sugar are both Sadler ~ Made in England.

How I would love to find the matching pink teapot for the cream and sugar!

But I do love this mint shade too. I found it in the basement of a church thrift sale many years ago for under $10.

I am so pleased that I can enjoy the African Violets in bloom.

More Pink for Tea Time

Welcome Pink Lovers to

"More Pink for Tea Time"!

Don't you just love stacking pretty pink teacups?

I recently found another pink rosebud Shelley Teacup and now I have a pair!

(I think of you Ruth as I admire it's beauty - Ruth has an abundance of Shelley cups)

Tuesday Cuppa Tea

It was an amazingly lucky find for under $4.00!

Both are identical and have a scalloped rim of mint green and an array of rosebuds on the cup and saucer with a dear rose on the inner cup.

"In color psychology, pink is a sign of hope. It is a positive color inspiring warm and comforting feelings, a sense that everything will be okay.

Pink calms and reassures our emotional energies, alleviating feelings of anger, aggression, resentment, abandonment and neglect. Studies have confirmed that exposure to large amounts of pink can have a calming effect on the nerves"

As I play with my pink pretties and enjoy my flowers today I escape to my calm and happy place and try to find peace. So many friends are having surgeries and enduring serious illnesses. There is so much suffering and discontent throughout the world.
