Hello My Tea Friends!
Another birthday has come and gone for me but I wanted to share my favourite gifts.
The beautiful hot pink and white long stemmed roses were from my dear friend Kelly.
I just love them!
The Royal Albert Seniorita teacup and candy dish were from my Sweet Sis!
Thank you Dianne!
I have been searching for one for years and do you believe it? Sweet Sis found it at a garage sale.
I once saw the matching teapot for $60 at a thrift store and regretfully passed it by.
It looks just like black lace, doesn't it?
I also bought myself a couple of Birthday/Christmas gifts. Have you ever done this too?
I had been looking at this lovely Arthur Wood teapot for some time and finally decided to Make an Offer and won it at $12!
My mother used to have one something like it and so it is very special to me. Love it's gold gilt!
I had also been looking at this pretty deep, rich pink tea set for over a year and finally had a weak moment when it also became.... Make an Offer. (Sorry I can't tell you how much - hubby may see). Lol. I know I'm a bad girl!
It is the large size Sadler Cube teapot.
But... I am still on the search for a lighter pink one too.
Then my collection will be complete. (I hope).
Thank you for stopping by today!
See you next time.
Karen
