Tuscan for Tea

Hello Dear Tea Friends,

Our December family birthdays are over and I have decided to take the tablecloth off for a few days before I re-set the table for Christmas dinner.

This is the antique pedestal table that was once my dear mother's.  I have always loved it!

When the tablecloth is on,  you can't see the intricate carving on it's legs.

I recently found this pretty Tuscan plate (marked Sunshine) for $10 and just had to order a teacup to match.  

I expected the first teacup that I ordered to be full size; but it wasn't.  It was the demitasse. Lol. The perfect size for my wee grand daughter. 

Has this ever happened to you?

I loved this pretty pink rosebud and gold leafed pattern so much that I ordered the larger one too (where the size was specified).  

The larger teacup is not marked DuBarry Rose.

But the demitasse is marked.

The pink teapot is a Georgian Gibsons Made in England.

This week my daughter and I made Starbuck's Cranberry Bliss Bar. Only available in Starbucks at Christmas.  Mmmmm, it's yummy.

And now I can have it all year long!

If you want to try it too, 

Just google:

Blessings,
