A Summery September Tea


Welcome Dear Teacup Friends to

"A Summery September Tea!"



The sun is shining at the cottage and we must take advantage of this summery September day and have our tea outdoors.


I am wondering how many more outdoor tea times will be possible with the fall season quickly approaching.


Today I am sharing two teacups which you have seen before and my beachy teapot.



Love the daisies on the inner cup.



Love the pink roses on the outer cup too!



The hot pink African Violet match the bright adirondack chairs.
























Thank you for joining me for 

A Summery September Tea!


Hope Summer is lingering in your home too.



See you next time!

An Outdoor Tea After the Storm


Welcome my sweet teacup friends to

"An Outdoor Tea After the Storm!"


Last weekend we had the worst storm on the lower mainland that I can remember. 710,000 homes were affected by the power outage.  My sis had no power for four days!


It rained off and on all week and so I am overjoyed that the sun came out today and I was able to have our teatime outdoors!


Well, I was a bad girl yesterday.

  I just couldn't say no to this charming Paragon cup and saucer.  It came as a pair but I am questioning whether it really is a matched set.


Can you see the difference in the pink roses?









Don't you think that teacups sometimes look more appealing without the perfect matching saucer?



The pretty saucer has the palest of yellow background. 



The teacup is white on the outer cup and pale yellow inside. 


Hubby actually spotted it and encouraged me to get it.  Keeper?


Sorry I don't know why the pic went sideways.


Well, do you think it is a mismatched set?


I also found this sweet little Paragon creamer in another little thrift shop. 


I have two similar teacups and tea plates that were once my mother's.




Sometimes one needs a storm to appreciate the little  things in life like electricity and being able to make a cup of tea or coffee.



After the storm I do think this will be the very last pink rose from the cottage garden. 


Thankfully some of the bedding plants were protected from the storm by shelter of  the cottage.


Thank you for visiting me today lovely tea friends

See you next week!
