Please come in and sit a while and I will pour you some tea from my Mum's pretty teapot.Today is my first time participating in Kim's "Tea Things Tuesdays."
I started this pattern for my mother many years ago while I was working in a jewelery store, before I ever started my family. I chose the Lavender Rose pattern because I thought my Mum would love it. It reminded me of her; it is both dainty and attractive, just like her! 
It is such a lovely pattern! I love the pink roses sprinkled all over the china, so romantic!
The other day my sister arrived with the china because my mother is no longer using it. I am happy to have it!
Most of you are aware that I love teacups, teapots, and china in general. Sometimes it is bordering on obsession, I think. But then I guess those of you who are participating in this tea party, know exactly what I mean! China makes you happy!
I have just removed my mincemeat tarts from the oven. Would you care to try one with a hot cup of tea?
I so enjoy a hot cup of tea in a pretty teacup, don't you? I enjoy all herbal teas but my favourites are Green Chai and Earl Gray. Tea is beneficial in so many ways; it is both medicinal and relaxing after a stressful day. I often find a nice cup of tea and a book are great companions!
I think china reflects much about the personality of the lady who uses it. I especially love pink and roses and I'm not ashamed to admit, I'm a girly-girl. How about you? Are you a girly-girl?
Well, that is my offering for today. Have a beautiful day friends and thank you for stopping by. I would like to wish all my American friends a Happy Thanksgiving on Thursday!

Morning, Sandi! Oh, what glorious dishes! How sweet of you to start buying these for your Mum so early on. I know she must have treasured them and if she's anything like my mother - if she's so proud of anything, she just won't use it in case something should happen to it.
ReplyDeleteHow nice you can enjoy them mow.
Be a sweetie and Happy Thanksgiving,
Shelia :)
What a beautiful tea service. I know you will enjoy it, and how wonderful that your Mom shared it with you.
