and
Mother's Day!
My Lovely Tea Friends!
It is an absolutely beautiful day at the cottage and I wanted to share my new French Provincial nesting table.
Although it needs refinishing I thought it would be fun to use it and have a little different tea time with a French Flair.
It was $6.99 at Goodwill.
I found the vintage head vase for $3.00 at a little shop in Bellingham.
I do hope that my wonderful neighbours don't mind that I cut a few of their Snowball Blossoms for our tea time today.
Thank you Dear Betty and Wally.
You can see this vintage lady has lost her earrings but isn't she darling?
You have seen the makeover chalk paint chair before.
The simple white teacup is Mikasa White Silk.
(Unfortunately with the glare of the bright sunlight, the pics don't show it's detailed embossing.)
The tea is of course my favourite Red Rose Orange Pekoe.
The swirled white teapot is Royal Doulton's Cascade. Another lucky Goodwill find by hubby for $9.99!
I do appreciate you stopping by today.
I do hope that you have a
Perfect Mother's Day

Dear Karen:
ReplyDeleteI love - love your snowball bush. What a beautiful setting for tea time. When we got here March 17th (late) I saw these 2 huge bushes on the side of the house that were starting to bloom. I thought they might be Snowball bushes but they have already bloomed now and are Viburnum. I never knew the name before but now have it straight. Yours is really wonderful. I love your table setting as well! Thanks for sharing and linking.
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love your new table! So chic! The snow balls are lovely...I bet the neighbors don't mind. Such a pretty setting for tea!

Love the table - and love the vintage woman's head vase. Wish we all could've been there with you!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteI love the snowballs. My neighbour up the road has them all along her driveway. I like your table and can't wait to see what you do with it. The lady vase is adorable and why not give her a pair of earrings? Your setting is so pretty and thank you for sharing it with us. Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day too.
Blessings,
Sandi
