A Moss Rose Tea Time


Welcome Tea Friends!

It's just starting to sprinkle so I  brought a little parasol out for you.


The wildfires are in such need of rain so I can't complain and we really have been blessed with beautiful weather this summer.


During my treasure hunting travels I have gradually  been adding to my Royal Albert Moss Rose Collection.


I found the teapot in an Antique Mall in Ferndale last year.  It was 50 percent off so how could a girl resist?




My latest find was this malvern shaped teacup at a favourite estate store in Bellingham.  



I love this teacup shape and dainty rose with greenery pattern.


This is the more familiar montrose  shape.






Last weekend hubby and I, my sister-in-law and her hubby went the the Anacortes Shipwrecked Days.  I was searching for a reasonably priced ladder to display my plants.  Thankfully my SIL Stephanie spotted this sweet two step ladder. It had never been painted and I was eager to transform it and I painted it the palest of pink.  (Sorry no before pics).



A few years ago I found the circular pale pink shabby pillows at the Shipwrecked Days too.



Thank you for your visit today!


Have a Wonderful Weekend!
Karen

Baby Blue for Tea Time





Hello Sweet Tea Lovers,

Are you enjoying the summer?



I love being outside in the summer, enjoying the sunshine and watering my flowers.


Although my yard has a lot of shade I managed to find a sunny spot for our tea time.



I found this rare Royal Albert teacup with a butterfly handle at a garage sale for $5.




The baby blue  Sadler cube teapot is not a full size teapot.



Once my search began for Sadler cube teapots I began to appreciate every colour ~ not just pink.



Thank you for your visit today!

I hope you are enjoying these sunny days too!

I Found It!




Hello Dear Tea Lovers,

Do you remember me telling you that I was searching for a dreamy teapot like this one?

It is a pale pink  Sadler cube!💝


And I found it on Etsy a few months ago. It had only been listed 2 days. It was such luck!

But I'm scared to take it out of the china cabinet for fear that I may break it.



I have had the matching cream and sugar since I was 16 which I found at a flea market at Queen's Park Arenex.  (That's only 45 years ago - lol).


Now my teapot collection is "almost" complete.


The teacups are almost identical Shelleys except that one has a coral cup base and handle and the other one is white.







Thank you for your visit today!

I hope that you find your dream teapot too!
Karen
