Happy February, and a Happy Birthday to all my February friends out there!
I have some violet teacups today. There are two Grace sets and two Royal Albert February sets. One RA was given to me by my hubby's late aunt for a house warming gift and the other belonged to my late mother-in-law whose birthday was in February. When my sister-in-law found out I had one, she gave her mother's to me as well which was very thoughtful of her.
Today's tea will be in a purple theme because of course, there are violets on teacups and pansies on the teapot and the plate. But there is also a touch of pink because of the tulips. My phone camera isn't showing the true colour of them.
Some of my silver teaspoons.
When asked if my cup is half-filled or half-empty; my only response is that I am thankful I have a cup. ~ unknown
Hubby and I are watching our diets for health reasons and I am doing very little baking these days. I must admit, I miss all those treats I used to make, but for now, I make the odd batch of bran muffins and that is about it. Fruit and veggies have become the norm here at our home. Every couple of months I may bake some cookies or a dessert of some kind but that is it. Sigh! I really miss making treats!
This coming weekend we will be celebrating Valentine's Day and I hope to do a post centered around that special holiday. I may have another party just for that occasion. I will let you know.
The snow storm has calmed down just a bit but the winds are supposed to pick up and then we will have a blizzard on our hands. The bird feeders are filled with packed snow and the poor birds can't get at their morning snack. The shepherd's hook is leaning a bit. I hope it doesn't fall over! The snow is like fluff right now so it is bound to make an awful mess once the winds blow.
So, I am signing off, just in case. Take care everyone and have a lovely week!

OH, what lovely violet tea cups and pansies too! I had a little purple tea party earlier this week (Sunday) with my sweet little "friend" Lily Grace. Purple is a nice contrast to so much pink right now for Valentine's Day. Oh, you really did have a lot of snow! Wow! Poor birdies. I hope they can find some seeds. Please take care and stay safe and warm, and drink lots of hot tea!! Bran muffins are what I do also...that's a healthy treat that also tastes good! Blessings to you dear friend.
ReplyDeleteI always love when everyone brings out their treasured violet cups for February.Yours are especially lovely! Hard to imagine having spring, we are so buried here in chicagoland. And, my a cup of hot tea is a lovely idea! Sandi
ReplyDeleteOh pink and violet and lace and tea.
ReplyDeleteA Valentine's Week vision!
Thank you, Sandi!
Sandi, this is such a beautiful setting! I am swooning over your pretty tea set. We have been iced in and are expecting a blizzard overnight so I have been baking way too much. I think we may be kindred spirits in our love of baking. Take care and stay warm!
