Pink For A Hot Summer Eclipse Day

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. 

Thank you for your visit today!

See you next time!
Karen

A Teapot Wind Chime

Hello Tea Friends!

I want to share a lovely gift from my dear friend and hairdresser Jan. 

It's a silver teapot wind chime.  (I'm sorry the pics just don't do it justice).

It has beautiful vintage spoons and pretty blue beads for it's chime.  And the sound is amazing!

My sweet friend Jan is a little rascal because she asked me if I had any silver teapots for her craft group and then she surprised me with this one that I had given her. 

I still haven't found the perfect tree to display it at the cottage and may take it home where I have a larger selection of trees to choose from.  

For our tea time I chose this blue vintage Sadler teapot  to match the wind chime. 

The paler blue teacup is an Aynsley.  

I'm sad to say the pink roses are now finished but I was pleased to find some blooming white ones.

Thank you for your visit today and thank you to my wonderful and talented friend Jan for this unique and special teapot wind chime ~ it's such a treasure and 
I love it!

Some Favourite Pink Teapots

Hello Tea Friends

Today I wanted to share some of my favourite pink teapots.

I must admit that I may possibly  have a pink Sadler teapot addiction.

I really can't say which is my favourite because like my children ~ I love them all the same!

Some have a lot of crazing but to me that adds to their vintage appeal.  

Pink rosebuds and roses.  Such beauty!

Thank you for your visit today!

See you next time!

A Treasured Gift

Last week my dear friend Dawn returned from her holiday at Okanagan Falls and gave me this gorgeous Sadler "Ye Daintee Ladyee" teapot that she had found at an antique shop there.  (Thank you Bernideen for letting me know it's correct name - I thought it was called a Crinoline Lady).

She didn't know that I had always wanted one.

It is the most beautiful shade of blue.

Thank you my dear friend.  I will treasure it forever!
