A Moss Rose and Hydrangea Tea

Welcome Teacup Lovers to

"A Moss Rose and Hydrangea Tea"

Today I am sharing Royal Albert's Moss Rose Teacup.

I have been fortunate to find the cream and sugar,

and three tea plates during my treasure hunting travels.

We have had a heat wave on the West Coast and I am loving it.

The hydrangeas have just started to bloom this weekend.

I thought the umbrella would help to shade us from the sun so that we wouldn't get overly warm during our early morning tea time.

Help yourself to some refreshing fruit and if you dare ~ a chocolate cookie!

Thank you for joining me today for

"A Moss Rose and Hydrangea Tea!"

Have a fabulous summer, dear friends!

A Royal Bridal Gown Tea

Welcome Teacup Lovers to:

"A Royal Bridal Gown Tea"

Two weeks ago my son was married in a fairy tale - like wedding. The memories are so magical and and when I spotted this teacup at an estate sale yesterday in Blaine, Washington for $5.00 and read the name of the china pattern, well; I just couldn't pass it up.

It is called "Royal Bridal Gown" Queen Anne Bone China.

I fell in love with the pink bows and baby blue pattern on the saucer and inner cup!

We stopped at another estate sale further down the road and to my amazement I found another saucer to match and thought that it would work as a little tea plate.
