Birthday Gifts

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.
