Toast and Tea



Hello Lovely Teacup Friends

Welcome to

"Toast and Tea!"




  Do you know how much I love pink roses and greenery?  (Pink tulips too)!


Well... two weeks ago newly retired hubby and I stopped at Goodwill and I found some new treasures.


Six pretty teacups.  They were $3.99 each.




Two of the six had a different shape but I think that makes the set more interesting.

They are stamped Duchess Fine Bone China
Made in England.




The Arthur Wood teapot was in the showcase and had  a similar pattern.  It was $12.99.



So a teapot and six teacups for $37.00.


Sweet sis gifted this dear Royal Albert cream and sugar set to me. It is called "Bridesmaid Roses."




Don't you love toast and tea?


With a little strawberry jam?




My dear friend, Kelly gave me with the gorgeous pink tulips when I became a grandmother last week.  


Tulips make me so eager for spring.  


Thank you for visiting today for

"Toast and Tea."


Happy Tea Day!

Karen

    Karen:
    I am amazed at the bargains you find at your Goodwill. Here, they overprice anything like this and put it in a special case. I love "Roses and Ivy" as it was one of the first patterns I carried many years ago and it will always be a favorite of many! Your table looks delightful and everything blends together so well! Lovely!

    Very pretty china and such a good buy! Tea pots like that are hard to find for such a cheap price! That was a really good buy! And I prefer English china myself. That was my breakfast this morning -- toast and tea!

    The cream and sugar set from your sister is sweet and your thrift finds are awesome. I have been meaning to do a tea and toast post myself, this combination is a my go-to when ill, don't feel like having a heavy supper or just the thing for my afternoon tea.
