A Happy Easter Tea

Welcome Dear Friends to

"A Happy Easter Tea!"

I am very excited to participate in Sandi's special Easter Tea.

Today I am in the mood for rosebuds.

This dainty Elizabethan teacup which is Made in England has a lovely pedestal teacup base with a embossed centre. 

 It is covered  with a small pattern of sweet rosebuds and greenery. 

A pretty rose bud is on the top of the inner cup.

This teacup is also an Elizabethan and Made in England.  This pattern of the flower is larger but the shapes of the cup and saucer remain the same.

Both are trimmed with rich gold gilt.

I found this coral rose decoration at the dollar store and loved it's cheery tone.

The Aynsley cream and sugar are also covered with  rosebuds.

As are the  Aynsley tea plates.

The teapot is Made in Japan.

Help yourself to some almond sponge cake with orange pekoe tea. My son's future mother-in-law made it for us today.  It is sooo delicious!

Thank you for visiting me today dear friends for

"A Happy Easter Tea!"

Wishing you and your family a Blessed Easter!

A Pastel Spring Tea

Welcome Sweet Friends to

A Pastel Spring Tea

 

 

Once spring arrives I am ready for spring colours.

 

 

Today I am sharing two of my precious Tuscan teacups.

 

 

They are almost identical.  Both have the palest of pink background and are covered with tiny pink rose buds with gray leaves. 

 

Do you see how the shape and handles of the teacups differ?

 

 

 

 



I found the pink, mint and blue pastel crocheted throw at Value Village for $5.99.

 

 

 

 

You have seen the palest of pink Skye McGhie teaset before.

 

 

I am anxious for the roses in my garden to bloom but for now I will be content with grocery store carnations.

 

 

Thank you for joining me today for

A Pastel Spring Tea!

 

Have a Happy Week!

Karen

A Friendship and Daffodil Tea

 

 

 

 

Welcome Sweet Friends to

"A Friendship and Daffodil Tea!"

 

 

 

 

 I am so fortunate to have friends like you to join me for tea today.

 



 

Isn't sunny yellow such a cheerful colour to celebrate our upcoming spring month of April?

 

 

Our tea today is named after this Royal Albert lovely teacup~ 
 "Friendship Daffodil."

 

 

I love it's elegant shape and the detailed pattern of dainty daffodils.

 

Sweet Sister gifted me with this gorgeous cup and saucer!

 

I have also chosen a plain yellow Grafton teacup to blend with our spring daffodil theme today.

Of course there's a touch of a pretty pink rose on the inner cup.

I must tell you that yellow doilies, pillows and accents were few and far between in my pink toned home.

Oh good, an excuse to go thrifting!

 

Help yourself to a bought bakery treat.

Thank you friends for joining me today for a
"Friendship and Daffodil Tea!"

Happy Springtime!
