Pink and Silver for Tea Time


Hello Sweet Tea Friends

Welcome to

"Pink and Silver for Tea Time!"





Have you noticed how most pretty teacups and teapots are trimmed with gold?


Well, I was very fortunate to find a pretty pale pink teacup trimmed with silver on the weekend at a little antique store in Lynden, Wa.


Do you think it matches my silver trimmed Sadler teapot?


It has some dainty grains of silver wheat on the inner cup.





I love the cup's footed base and silver handle.


Do you have any teacups with silver trim?


Chantilly is one of Royal Albert's few patterns that has silver and not gold (Val d'or is the gold version).

















What a surprise!  Some of my miniature pink roses have started to bloom for the second time this summer! 









Thank you for visiting me for

A Pink and Silver Tea Time! 


See you in a week!

Karen

A Sunny Summertime Tea



Happy Summer Tea Friends and

Welcome to a Sunny Summertime Tea!






It's been the warmest summer that I can remember for some time.


Watering restrictions are in effect so the grass is not lush.


But it is never too warm for our tea time together,   is it?


Today I wanted to share some simple but classic and pretty teacup finds.


A dainty rose lies on the front of this cup and little  pinkish shamrocks surround the inner teacup rim and saucer trim.







The other classic teacup is similar in shape and has petite rosebuds all over the cup and saucer.


Don't you think that Johnson Brother's Rose Bouquet is such a feminine pattern?















I found this pink ruffled apron at Value Village.










Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day and visiting me for

A Sunny Summertime Tea!



See you next week
Karen
