Tea Time Tuesday

Welcome to Tea Time Tuesday my lovely tea friends~ This is our first tea party in the month of June and even though it doesn't feel like it here on the Island, Summer is on its way!

What is one to say about June, the time of perfect young summer, the fulfilment of the promise of the earlier months, and with as yet no sign to remind one that its fresh young beauty will ever fade. ~

Gertrude Jekyll - excerpt from Victoria May/June 2011

Today I am sharing a new tea cup trio I found at my favourite tea room. I was very happy to discover that it was half price so I snatched it up right away.

I love the roses on it. There is a little red, fuchsia, pink, and yellow complimented by green leaves which make this a bright and perky tea cup; perfect for this time of year!

The pattern is called Rose Petals, made of fine bone china by Maxwell and Williams.

Here is a view of the other side with a wee more pink. The cup has a simple loop handle which makes it very comfortable to hold.

Sweet spring, full of sweet days and roses, a box where sweets compacted lie. ~ George Herbert

How beautiful my new tea cup looks with all the pink flowers on these pages of Victoria magazine.

I find Victoria so inspiring as I'm sure you do as well.

Better to be deprived of food for three days, than tea for one. ~ Ancient Chinese Proverb

...and Lemon ginger tea.

I find lemon ginger tea helps to settle my stomach and I love that I can sip on a cup of this instead of using a remedy from the drug store. And yes, that's a heart shaped shortbread cookie you see. I can't help it, I love shortbread!

Did you know that Ginger has wonderful medicinal qualities? It boosts your energy and metabolism, helps to reduce the severity of colds, aids in indigestion, treats nausea, eases migraines, among other things. It tastes good too!

Perhaps you would like some Rhubarb pudding with your tea.

This is just freshly baked and it's warm and yummy with a dollop of whipped cream on it.

Next week I will be hosting my Father's Day Tea. On June 20, I will be hosting a Summer Dreams Tea. On June 21, Kathy @ A Delightsome Life is hosting her seasonal party, Savoring Summer. Please be sure to join us for all these parties.

Teacup Thursday

Spiritual Sundays

Good morning my friends~ Today I am joining Charlotte and Ginger for Spiritual Sundays. 

HOPE~ turns every raindrop into the power to bloom like never before...

I hope you all have been enjoying a wonderful week. I have been on a blogging break from SS and there are reasons for it which I won't go into at this time but I'm back today to share.

I have been going through some troubles which I have been keeping to myself. I have never been one to dwell on unpleasant circumstances on my blog because I prefer to keep it as positive as possible and I feel there are enough troubles in this world without me adding to them with my own. My goal with this blog has always been to encourage and bring a little pleasant respite into your day. But a need has arisen and I am asking you for prayer.

Even in the midst of the uncertainty, I can turn to my God and His Word for comfort.

"Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with My victorious right hand." - Isaiah 41:10

I have been in some pain the past several months and yesterday I got the results from some ultrasounds I had done a week ago. I can't go into any specifics because I really don't know all the details myself yet. I am just asking you to pray for me. 

"Our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever." - 2 Corinthians 4:17 

Our God is a big God and He has my best interests at heart as well as yours. I hope you all have a blessed weekend.
