Hello everyone,
It is hard to believe that it is the weekend already! I think we have had rain or drizzle everyday this week with more to come.I hope this pattern changes soon.
A few weeks ago I found this tea cup at a local thrift shop and it was too pretty to resist. I picked some pink hyacinths from the garden and I have a pretty pink cookie to go with a cup of tea.
Might as well curl up with a garden magazine for awhile.
The beautiful wooden painted box was part of a giveaway that I won from Tatiana all the way from Greece.I love the beautiful flowers that Tatiana painted and I will show you the rest of the giveaway that I was lucky enough to win later.Thank you again,Tatiana for this lovely gift.
You can sit here and watch the rain for awhile-we seem to be getting lots of it! At least the grass is green and lush now and the leaves are slowly unfurling.
I do love teacups-don't you?
A little more pink for you.
Today I am joining Cindy at My Romantic Home for Show and Tell and Beverly for Pink Saturday at How Sweet the Sound.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend,
Carolyn

That cup is just fabulous. I love the setting you did. It is truly a rapsody!!! I am drooling over that wonderful tea cup find.
Our thrift shops never have anything pretty like that, it is gorgeous. Now a question for you...the rose in the piccy with the green tinge to the edges...you dont happen to know its name by any chance? I have been hunting everywhere for it.

Hello Carolyn....What a lovely blog and beautiful post!
I am afraid I will never find a beautiful treasure like your cup and saucer here! I have to travel a ways to get some really good finds!
Your bed by the window is so inviting. Your pink flowers my favorite shade of pink!
Happy Pink Saturday!

Honestly, Carolyn, that cup is a heart stopper. If I ever saw anything like that in a thrift store, I'd faint right on the floor. Ohhhhh,everything looks so wonderful . Thanks for sharing. Susan
Gorgeous cup, I probably wouldn't have passed it up either! I love the way you set this up, it's so romantic and inviting!
I'm also at Pink Sat., hope you come over. Have a nice weekend.
Hugs

Happy Pink Saturday!

Carolyn,
It is truly a pleasure and an honour to walk through your glorious garden via your blog posts!!! You must have the greenest thumbs on the planet. Gardening is truly a passion and your love for it shows in the culmination of all your dedicated hard work. PEI's bees must consider you their Queen. Smile. I believe we share many common interests and I am excited to visit with you among the flowers time and time again...Thank you for taking the time to share your loves!
Hugs,
Linda
Lovely! I adore pink!
Thankyou Carolyn for the name of that rose. I have been hunting for months and months..ever since I bought a bouquet of them from my supermarket and no one has been able to tell me the name. Now as soon as rose season starts at the nursery (next month) I can order one. Thankyou again you have made my day.
Hugs
Michelle
You must live in tea cup country! Such a pretty cup. I've actually been on the lookout for some. They just don't turn up much. So nice to see your green. The thought of rain made me nostalgic. We're in a drought here. But then we don't get much anyway. I enjoy your posts very much.
Hello Carolyn
Your pinks are so pretty and feminine and don't you think tea actually tastes better from a pretty, porcelain cup? I love to read about your tea parties.
Here in the north we mostly drink coffee. However, when tea is on offer it is often fruit or herb tea. Otherwise, Earl Grey seems to be a favorite.

Good morning Carolyn,
Your tea cup is just beautiful! You find the most lovely things out on your travels! Your collage of pinks is stunning; dreamy! I still haven't learned to make a collage. Duh! Congratulations on winning that lovely display box all the way from Greece! A truly wonderful gift! Enjoy your weekend.
Blessings,
Sandi
I am a new and SO happy follower. This blog is so dreamy. The pink cup is wonderful. I adore the little flowers in the bottom. I am excited to see the other wonderful future posts from you as I have added you to my blogroll. Stop on over for tea with me anytime!

Oh how beautiful and what a lovely painted box...all very wonderful as always!
Hi Carolyn
Your new teacup is pretty, a great find. It would be nice to have a cup of tea with one of your delicious looking cookies.
Have a great weekend.
Judith
Wow, I have never seen a teacup like that in a thrift store! May I ask the name of it? Just gorgeous!
Love all of your beautiful pinks! Happy Pink Saturday!
Debbie
Darling Carolyn what a lovely images!

Have a nice day
Silvia
What a lovely lovely blog and lovely lovely pictures!!
Best wishes from Sweden and Titti
Your home & gardens are so amazing!! I've been reading your blog for hours and felt like I was there in person :) I also love to collect china and like you I have a weakness for red staffordshire. Thanks so much for sharing and have a lovely weekend, Jannet
It's just beautiful Carolyn! You'd hardly know it was raining from your pretty pink pictures. It is so dreary here too but I was glad to have yesterday to work in the gardens. Enjoy! Pamela
Dear Carolyn,
What a beautiful teacup! I would have taken it with me as well if I had seen it in the thrift shop.
I wish we had the rain you have. It has been dry in Holland since the beginning of April. Big cracks are appearing everywhere in the garden. I took several plants with me from France, but I can't do anything with them.....
Perhaps we can swap. I will send some sunshine your way :-)!
Happy weekend & lieve groet,
Madelief x
What a beautiful cup and saucer! All of the pink is so pretty and you put it all together so wonderfully. Super pictures...the mosiacs ~ oh my!
Carolyn,
This has got to be the prettiest pink post ever.
Beautiful teacup, box, flowers, magazine, linens, daybed....just gorgeous!
You know, Carolyn, every time I visit your blog....I sigh. Your home is just so beautifully welcoming and cozy and peaceful....
xoxo laurie
This is just lovely. I'd love to be there sipping tea and enjoying that beautiful tea cup.
It would be great to have you be a part of Seasonal Sundays.

Rain would never seem dreary sitting there drinking tea.

It's just all so pretty, Carolyn. I really love the cup – so sweet with the flowers in the bottom. I enjoyed seeing the peak at your garden, too, with the narcissus coming up. And that painted box is really a lovely gift – what a treasure.
I hope you get sunshine soon!

Beautiful tea cup Carolyn!!! and so pretty wooden painted box you won... and, well, as always your posts are the most romantic ones!!!
hugs my dear
What a lovely tea cup - I so wish I had the space to store all of the gorgeous tea cups I run across! I think I'll have to live vicariously through you for a while. =)
Pink is just the antidote to all the grey sky and rain here today. You know, I have that same pink cup and saucer, from my grandmother's house. I inheirited a large collection of cups and saucers and love to set a tea table by colour - and my favorite is pink.
Hello Carolyne,
your new tea cup is beaufiful. I love tea cups or collection of different cups...Och!
Your pictures are beautiful.
Have a nice day Vlaďka
Good afternoon Carolyn
Spring has finally sprung in Saskatchewan this last few weeks. We are having to water the lawns today and are enjoying a 21 C degree day. The man made Wascana lake that is a block away had some water rising issues but it has gone back to normal for now. Our Farmers in the province aren't able to seed much of the crops as the fields are so wet. We are looking forward to a nice warm week ahead so I hope it reaches you soon as well. Our home is being viewed again today for a second time by some Out of Province buyers so we are keeping our fingers crossed for a sale this week. I will truly miss the character and charm of an older home but am ready to part with allot of my collections and get ready to travel more in the upcoming years. I so wish you lived closer as our tastes are so alike and my treasures would find a lovely new home. Have a wonderful Sunday and I hope your sunshine arrives soon so you can get out into your beautiful gardens.
Wanda
How beautiful...you are blessed!
