Welcome Sweet Teacup Friends to
"A New Teacup for Teatime!"
It's been a busy week and so today's post
may be a little shorter than most.
Last week was my mother's 94th Birthday, my Hubby's Retirement (after 41 years) and this week I will be a grandmother.
Sometimes blogging must play second fiddle to other important things in life.
I found this pretty Royal Albert teacup at a little consignment store in Port Moody.
I fell in love with the pink and blue flowers.
It was $10.00.
It is called "Beatrice".
The tea plate is hand painted and marked
Prussia Royal Rimmelstadt.
The creamer is Adderley and the sugar bowl Melba. (I thought they were at matching set).
Today we can use this pretty blue coffee pot for our tea.
It is a Grindley. Made in England.
Since I am trying to be healthy like lovely Deborah at The Beautiful Matters

let's have cheese and an oatcake with our tea today.

Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful teacup, I could tell it was a Royal Albert. Pretty tea plate too!
Happy February!

What a pretty Royal Albert teacup! I really like small cream and sugars, too. When I looked at the photo, I would have thought they were a matching set.
ReplyDeleteWhat an exciting week for you! Congratulations to you and your family on such special milestones! I Love the pretty teacup! I haven't had oatcakes for a while...must look for them. Lots of potteries bought in decals from design houses, so no surprise your cream and sugar are the same but different manufacturers...makes it all interesting, doesn't it! Have a wonderful week and thanks for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

Oh my, your new RA Beatrice is beautiful, Karen! I love Royal Albert. They make the most exquisite patterns. Your c & s is pretty too and I like the colour of your coffee "tea" pot. Happy Birthday to your mother, Congratulations to your hubby, and how wonderful to have a new baby in the family! I can't think of anything more exciting. Enjoy your week, Karen, and I want to hear all about that new little bundle of joy.

Hello Karen,
ReplyDeleteI am Heather Elizabeth from Blue Jeans and Teacups in sunny, southern California. I clicked over from Sandi's because I spied your teacup and just had to know more! Well, to find out it is called Beatrice, which is my grandmother's name sent me over the moon! Thank you for sharing it. It's one I will definitely keep an eye out for in days to come! Congratulations on all of the exciting happenings in your life!
Blessings and a cup of tea,
Heather Elizabeth
Wow now that's a full week! Blessings to you all. Lovely tea to refresh you and get you ready for the next big thing.
ReplyDeleteThat's a love table and such an interesting such of "art deco" looking coffee pot which is all the rage now. Your Beatrice teacup is lovely and congratulations on so many wonderful celebrations! Thanks for sharing each week in my "Friends Sharing Tea".
ReplyDeleteKaren, love your new teacup! The hand painted plate is gorgeous as well. I was lucky and found 4 hand painted plates for $3 each at a thrift in ID. Congrats on soon to be grandma and on your mothers birthday and hubby's retirement!
