Eager for Spring Time!




Welcome Teacup Lovers!

Are you counting down the days until spring?


I found these tiny daffodils blooming in the back garden and just had to cut a few to enjoy indoors.


They made me think that spring may be on its way.


I decided to bring out my spring-ish daffodil teacups to match. (Maybe they will be good luck and bring on spring a little early).


  










The first day of spring is March 20th.  Approximately 3 weeks away.

The Daffodil Teapot is a Sadler.


Thank you for stopping by!

Are you eager for Spring too? 


See you next week!

Two Favourite Teacups!


Hello Sweet Tea Friends

Do you have a favourite teacup in your collection?


Today I would like to share  two of my favourites .


The first is Royal Albert's elegant "Serena."




Another beautiful favourite is Royal Albert's "Lady Carlyle."


Mmmmm!  Pink!





Today's pretty teapot is Royal Albert's "American Beauty."


The cream and sugar are also Lady Carlyle.



What is the name of a favourite teacup
in your china collection?


Have a Wonderful Week Dear Tea Friends!



See you next week!

Happy Valentine's Day!




Happy Valentine's Day Dear Tea Friends!

I do hope you had a special time with family, friends or a sweetheart on Valentine's Day!





(This was on my computer this morning just before posting!  How Perfect!)



I don't have many teacups with red but I thought these two may be Valentine -ish!


The first is a Royal Sutherland pretty floral Made in England.


Love the swirls on this saucer!




The second is a Crownford Fine Bone China made in England with a deep red trim around the teacup trim, base and saucer.



A few weeks ago my kind  friend Dawn gifted me with this pretty Purple Shamrock Love plant in this dear Sadler pot.  I believe it is called an Oxalis.

She had transplanted it from her larger plant and raised it just for me.  :)

Apparently it blooms purple flowers. Yay!

I was so happy and grateful with this
vintage pot because......


I have the matching Sadler basket weave teapot.



The smaller Country Roses teapot is also a Sadler.



I thought the roses were similar to those on the Royal Sutherland teacup.


Would you like a chocolate almond cookie?  They are baked locally and melt in your mouth with a hot cup of tea.   (Another gift  ~ from my daughter-in-law and the Chintz Royale Garden cake plate Made in England - a gift from sweet sis!)



I do hope you feel the love not only today but, all year!



See you next week!
Karen
