Hello Dear Tea Friends!
It's a very hot summer day today!
As Bernideen noticed from my dark pics, I took these on the the day of the eclipse.
The china teacup and cream and sugar are Royal Albert's Bridesmaid Rose.
And you know this is one of my favourite pink teapots ~ a Sadler cube.
The tea plates are Royal Albert's Serena.
Isn't it fun to mix and match pink rosy china?
I had to search the garden shops for this pretty shade of pale pink petunias.
I must apologize because
my grass is very burnt from our scorching summer days, water restrictions and our absence due to
weekly visits to the cottage.
I hope that you are managing to stay cool.
See you next time!
Karen

Awe. Thank you Charlotte! You are too kind!
DeleteKaren, I've never really been that "into" pink, but even I can't resist this pink tea! I love that RA tea set and your Sadler cube teapot. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI loved your post and I thought you could have just told us this as an "Eclipse Tea Time" party and we would have been amazed. After all, whose to know as Julia Child used to say! Love your table setting and Serena is always so lovely. Your pink Sadler is a delight. Thanks for sharing and I hope you can find the book! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bernideen,
DeleteI added the Eclipse to my posting now. You are so observant ~ I did take the pics on the day of the Eclipse. Your title would have been much better!
Happy Pink Saturday, Karen. Thank you for always making Pink Saturdays special.♥
ReplyDeleteYou always amaze me. You have the most beautiful things, and your style is inviting and lovely.
What a wonderful teatime!!!Love your gorgeous porcelain,so beautiful!Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteHow very charming all around!! I DO love pink. In the thumbnail, I mistook your lovely cushion for a beautifully-crocheted tea cozy! Wishful thinking---I'd love to have one.

The Sudler teapot is to die for! I've seen it in other colors and I love them all, specially your pink one and the tea dishes too.
ReplyDeleteGreat memories for you to keep on the Eclipse day.
I saw you featured at Pink Sat.
Have a nice weekend.

Such a pretty blushing pink teatime! Perfect for you! I have always loved that pattern, but not seen often now. Your wicker and pink petunias make a perfect setting! Wonderful! I apologize for being late visiting! The last few weeks have been a whirl with birthday, sinus problems, friends visiting and then a smoke escape with a last minute cruise…only to return to more smoke…causing a sinus infection! Oh well…but I am almost up to speed…yay!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!
