Hello My Sweet Tea Friends!
I've missed you.
The renovations at the cottage are still in progress and it continues to be a busy time for me.
This rosy teapot today resembles the Sadler Cube but it is marked Windsor so I believe it is a newer version.
Hubby and I had some dear friends today for lunch at the cottage so I dashed out in the pouring rain and cut some deep purple lilacs that are just starting to bloom - flowers just brighten the house, don't they?
Unfortunately with this weather lately, there will be no Teas in the Garden for me this week.

A few pics of the renos.....
I took home one of my china cabinets and I am now short of storage so I decided to arrange some of my pretties in a basket. It actually holds quite a few teacups and they are much easier to find and use.
Thank you for stopping by today.
I am anxious to visit you all soon!
Wishing you a Wonderful First Week of May!
Karen

ReplyDeleteOh Karen, you share the prettiest tea things, and no matter that it's raining, for it looks like a garden inside! I enjoyed seeing your renovations! Everything looks so clean, light and bright. I love the chandelier in your kitchen, and also the teacups in the basket. Happy first week of May!
ReplyDeleteKaren, everything looks lovely. Fresh and light and likely to feel very cool and refreshing on a hot summer day!
ReplyDeleteDear Karen:
ReplyDeleteI love your colors in the cottage. I don't know if you call it aqua or Robin's Egg blue but with the pink and white everything looks amazing. Your kitchen looks beautiful and I love your new floors! Thanks for sharing and linking.
So pretty!!! All the PINK looks so refreshing to me.

Looks like you're making wonderful progress with your renos. Hang in there, Karen! I may have to borrow the teacups in a basket idea. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love very much the white in your home. Everything looks fresh and very shabby chic. The rose theme of your china is just gorgeous
