Pink Saturday ~ Guest Post

Hello dear friends and welcome to Pink Saturday!
Today I am honoured to be Beverly's featured guest. I have been pinking with Beverly for close to four years now and it has been through her pink party, that I have met so many of you, my lovely friends.

Thank you Beverly for your faithfulness in hosting every week and a Very Happy Anniversary is wished for you and your hubby next Tuesday!

Beverly asked me to share a wee bit about myself~
I am a home-maker at heart and Mom to three wonderful sons and Nanny to five adorable grandchildren. My hubby and I have been married for forty years and we are still very much sweethearts.

I enjoy reading, writing/blogging, music, crafting, decorating, afternoon tea, photography, and thrifting.
I love taking walks along the beach and through the woods. I also host my own tea party meme called Tea Time Tuesday here every week and I would love to have you join me.




"Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

This is where I have spent most of my Summer.

We have the nicest beaches here on the Island! Yup, I wear pink flip-flops too!

Please help yourself to a cup of tea in one of my pink teacups.
I am a girly-girl and anyone who knows me, understands that I love tea things. Teapots, teacups, and different kinds of tea are some of the collections you will find in my home.

Over the years, I have collected many things; dolls, thimbles, SnowBabies, etc:, but I have always had a passion for pretty china and tea things. Now that my children are all grown up and on their own, I can indulge in my fantasy.

This is one of my favourite tea sets. 

Underneath it is a favourite table cloth. Did I tell you that I love  pretty linens too?

Being the girly-girl that I am, I had to have a pink Princess phone....

I adore pink roses too....

This past Spring, when I was in a crafting mood, I made some topiaries for the mantel. They will be replaced with something Autumnal very shortly.

It's just about that time again, and I am lovin pink pumpkins! I painted this wee pumpkin pink and added glitter and posies.

Last year Hubby and I treated ourselves to a new bedroom set and so I have been on the hunt for a toile bedspread/quilt. I found one a couple of months ago and decided to share it with you today....

"Friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life." ~ Thomas Jefferson

Auntie P's pink handmade afghan looks fabulous with it!

I still have some tweaking to do in the room so I have given you just a wee glimpse.

Before you go, I would like to share my favourite collection of all; some of my Rose Chintz china.

This china really makes my heart go pitter pat!

Breena, my little fairy friend, and I would like to thank you for stopping by today. I hope you have enjoyed my pink. Now, please  visit our hostess and see her parade of pinkies. Simply click on the link below. Wishing you all a fabulously pink weekend. God bless!

A Little Blue for Tea Time Tuesday

September ~ The month when Summer nods her head to Autumn. ~ Author- Your Hostess

Welcome friends to my second Tea Time in September~
It's been a while since I shared any blue and because I found a blue teacup a while ago, I thought a blue post was in order today.

It seems I have gone on a teacup hunting rampage this summer. I have found so many wonderful teacups and the majority of them have been at such wonderful bargain prices; Yay!
I will be sharing them with you in the coming weeks so be sure to keep coming by for tea.

This teacup is called Botanic Blue and is adorned with florals and a sweet little blue butterfly inside the cup; perfect for a late Summer day!

My blue Wedgwood Homes of Britain teacup and Blue Willow plate join the party, with a pretty blue tablecloth beneath it all.

Love this birdie topped teapot which is holding Earl Grey tea!

This little boy figurine has been around since my children were small and I thought he would add a touch of whimsy. See, he's giving thanks for his tea!

Some blueberry cheesecake and champagne grapes for a wee nosh.

"Teach us delight in simple things." ~ Rudyard Kipling 

Which cup would you like?

Two teacups are waiting,
the kettle sings,
and just on time,
the doorbell rings. ~ Unknown

Tea is a hug in a cup. ~ Patrick Jane of "The Mentalist"

"Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it." ~ Hebrews 13:2


Would you like to see a wee more blue? My friend Heather had a birthday not long ago and I had gifted her with a lovely Spode teacup. Now Martha, I know you will especially like this!

I took some photos of Heather's new teacup as well as a few of her other wonderful blue pieces. Enjoy....

She had a beautiful bowl of apples on the table and I had to take a shot of it too.

Then she brought out a couple of Spode teacups another friend had gifted her with and we set them beside my teacup.

Aren't they lovely! The sun was streaming in behind me so the light is playing havoc with the camera.

Thank you Heather for giving us a peek at some of your lovely blue and white china.

I hope you have all enjoyed the blue today. A nice change from pink, don't you think?

Remembering the victims and their families of 911 today!


I am delighted you have stopped by for tea today! Your presence always makes my tea party that much more special and I am happy to see all your tea things, whether you have shared them before or not. This tea party is all about sharing your joy of tea time and any thoughts you might have on the subject. You may be as creative, fancy, or as laid back with your tea time as you wish!


If you wish, you may do coffee instead of tea or the following is acceptable too:
Hot apple cider
Hot chocolate
Lemonade
Iced tea or iced coffee
Punch in a lovely bowl
No alcoholic beverages please.

The Tea Time Tuesday button on my sidebar is available for you to use in your post or place on your sidebar if you wish. A poem, tea quote, or scripture verse would be more than welcome! To be sure everyone has a visit, it would be nice if you visited the participant before and after your name.
