when everything seems to be going wrong.
I believe that happy girls
are the prettiest girls.
I believe that tomorrow
is another day,
and I believe in miracles. ~ Audrey Hepburn
Hello lovely ladies and welcome to my last Pink Tea for October! I think Audrey had a wonderful philosophy. I know being happy and counting your blessings can take you a long way.
Anne of Green Gables said, "....isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?" ~ LM Montgomery
And yes, I too, believe in miracles.
Most people like to be around happy people. One of the reasons why I was attracted to my hubby, besides his being so cute, was because he was a happy guy and he made me laugh.
Happiness cannot be travelled to, owned, earned, worn, or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude. ~ Denis Waitley
Many things make me happy and some of those things include pretty teacups and roses. Sipping tea from a lovely teacup brings a sense of gentility and peace into one's life.
Today's teacups are two that are very different but are both a beautiful soft pink adorned with lots of gold. In keeping with my Pink for Breast Cancer, I am also using my soft pink teapot.
Please make yourself at home and let's enjoy some tea and home made Cherry squares frosted with pink icing.
When I first began getting my post ready, it was bright and sunny.
Since then it has started to rain so, to add a little coziness, I have lit the fire.
When you're cold, tea will warm you!
There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea. ~Henry James
Some of the china I have used in this post today is made by: Colclough, Windsor, Skye McGhie, Peppertree, Johnson Bros., and Ganz. The vintage silverware is Evening Star by Oneida.
This concludes my Pink Teas for October. Next week is a new month and for my American friends, Thanksgiving is in the air. Those of us who live in Canada are preparing for Christmas. The next number of weeks will be a whirlwind of activity and preparations. Be sure to take a few moments out of your busy schedule to relax and enjoy a cup of tea.
"Happiness is a gift and the trick is not to expect it, but to delight in it when it comes." ~ Charles Dickens
Have a beautiful day everyone and be sure to get your mammogram!
I am joining the following parties as well~

Sandi, those pink and gold teacups are gorgeous! If those were in my collection I think they would be among my very favorites!
ReplyDeleteThank you for dedicating this month to pink in honor of breast cancer awareness. Blessings to you, Deborah
(love your cozy fire, and pink iced treats too!)
Hi Sandi. I agree that a husband needs to make you laugh! I have one like that too! I love your pretty pink china. And the cherry bars look delicious. Yep...we are into the busy season, aren't we...so a cup of tea and a bit of reflection and time to be thankful is essential! Thanks for hosting, and linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea my dear friend!

As a survivor I thank you for all the special posts you have done this month.
ReplyDeleteI do like the teacup with the soft pink and gold.
What a very pleasing way to remind us all about our part in prevention of this awful disease. Your posting is lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty tea post today. I love the soft pinks and your pretty pumpkins too. Blessings. Pam
ReplyDeleteHello Sandi
ReplyDeleteThis was a pleasant month of pink teas for a good cause. Although I would never have enough pink pots or cups to show every week, I enjoyed all the china and accessories you have shared.
Thank you for hosting our tea gathering for so long. It's a time I like each week to chat with the others and see what everyone has set up for tea.
I have enjoyed all of your pink posts this month...thank you for hosting such a lovely tea party. Hugs, Penny
ReplyDeleteDear Sandi
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting your Pink Tea Party, I'm glad I could add my post to the last one for the month.
Your quotes are a joy to read and yes a good sense of humour helps us get through testing times when they come along!
You have such a wonderful collection of beautiful tea cups. Today's two pink cups are both lovely - being a rose lover the one with the rose in the bottom of the cup is the one I would choose!
Enjoy your week
Shane
Hi Sandi,m
ReplyDeleteI agree with you in liking to be around happy people. I gravitate towards those kinds myself.
Your tea is so lovely and I always enjoy your gentle spirit. The teacups are so pretty and I could use a cherry square. Your pink roses are something to behold. Did your sweetie buy them for you?
Thank you for hosting, my sweet friend.
It has been a rough month for me but I am a very lucky person. I love the quote from Audrey Hepburn. I am going to have a cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandi,
ReplyDeleteOh my! I do love those gorgeous pale pink teacups. The one with the rose in the middle of the cup is so elegant. Your tea plate is a beauty too! Wish I could have tea with you and try your cherry squares. I will miss the pink next month....but maybe I will just have to keep celebrating pink next month too! Lol!
Thank you for hosting today and honouring Breast Cancer Awareness this month! Happy Tea Day! Karen
Lovely tea....and what a wonderful cause! Love your theme. Thank you for hosting.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting a wonderful month of lovely pink teas, Sandi! Your teatime today is amazing - and your treats with the soft pink icing - YUM!
