Hello everyone!
Come in and have a cup of tea on this sunny but cool day. I am using my old china tea pot and tea cups that I got at Reid House antiques a couple of years ago. The teapot is large so we can enjoy a lot of tea!
The cups and saucers are a different pattern but they do go very well together.
I am really looking forward to the summer shops like Reid HouseAntiques and restaurants opening up again usually sometime in May when the weather is warmer.
This birdcage came from TJMAXX in Maine.
Some lovely hyacinths from our local Vanco growers.
Now, I mentioned yesterday about our wood pellet stove not working so we had the repair man out today and it needs more expensive parts put on it again so it can't be fixed for a few days. We have had a lot of problems with this Enviro Empress wood pellet stove and I have heard many others have as well so I just wanted to mention this in case any of you are thinking of buying one. I know there are other brands that do work well just not the Empress.
Thankfully, the rest of the week the temperature is creeping up outdoors so our kitchen should be warmer even without the stove and I will be able to bake you something for our next tea!
Thank you for visiting me,
Carolyn

such a pretty blue and a unusual pattern.
What a delicacy in tones of blue associate with the mauve hyacinth . ✿◕ ‿ ◕✿
Here in Italy is too late... it's time to sleep... but I would like to be there to take a cup of tea!
The china may not match but you have matched the colouring so beautifully. A very pretty colour. V
What a lovely teatable and the hyacinths add the perfect springtime touch. They are beautiful. I hope your pellet stove is up and running soon.
Love me so blue and white for sure!
Ciao Carolyn !

Hi Carolyn,
Your blue and white tea is lovely! The teacups look wonderful with the teapot. I like mismatched as I find it so charming. You always find the nicest pieces at Reids! I am not there often enough I guess to find anything quite that exciting.
I'm looking forward to the shops and tea rooms opening too. I especially enjoy the PEI Preserve Co.
Sorry to hear you're having problems with your stove. Hopefully they will get it fixed for you soon. It's a bit chilly these days without the fire! Thanks for joining me again for Tea Time. It's always a pleasure to have you!
Blessings,
Sandi
Once again a lovely tea table. I just love your china. I would love to have tea with you and the hyacinths are just beautiful ;-)

Hi Carolyn, your teaset is so unique. I've never seen this beautiful pattern. hugs ~lynne~
Whoa! I'm just in love with the colors and those cups are to die for!!!
So very pretty! I had to go back and look - it was hard to see the mis in the match with the cups! Thanks for sharing. Sandi
Hi Carolyn
The teapot and cups are so close they look very nice together.
Almost April and we can anticipate some real spring-like weather.

Love those blue and white teacups! ...and the birdhouse...and the sweet hyacinths!

I hope you are staying cozy and warm. We had quite a few warm days here, but now it is cold again. I hope it doesn't kill all of the blooms.
The patterns on your teapot and teacups are so pretty.
Hi Carolyn, Lovely teacups and teapot. A cup of tea would be great with a sugar cookie. Take care.
I love anything with blue. Really inviting so yes, I will have a cup of tea with you. I was going to ask where you purchased the birdcage as it caught my eye right away. :)
I'm glad your weather is improving and antiquing is a short dream away. :)
Have a wonderful Tuesday,

Hi Ms. Carolyn,
It was so very nice to hear from you. Thank you for stopping by for a visit...Oh and thank you so very much for the tea :-) Your tea set is just precious. I truly did enjoy my teatime here with you. Have a wonderful day.
Hugs and Kisses,

Hi Carolyn
What a lovely birdcage. I'm looking for such a thing since ages.
Have a nice and hopefully warm day!

With a good gladly accept you! Go to visit you is always a pleasure. If you would not notice you did, I would not have noticed that the teapot was different from the cups. Are so similar, the color is identical. Your cage is delicious, but I'm looking for a cage, but I would like all metal. Have a wonderful evening. kisses.Gilda
Good afternoon Carolyn
Your china is exquisite! I have never seen either of these patterns before. We have decided to head to Victoria on the West coast in April so our next trip to PEI will have to wait until next year. I would love to sit down and enjoy a cup of tea with you...maybe next year in person! Have a great week and thank you for sharing your lovely home with all of us!

Carolyn I love the china. I would never have known the cup and saucers did not go together, they blend beautiful. Lovely linens also
Enjoy your "Lavender Blue" afternoon tea. I love the way you've stacked the teacups in your mosaic. Glad to hear it's warming up!
My oh my! Fabulous color and vignettes!

Carolyn, I know I am running very late for tea this week. Has been very hectic week, so I am delighted that your tea table today is very soothing, and yet refreshing. Lovely unusual blue pattern, complimented perfectly by the large tea pot and beautiful, soft hyacinths. Blessings
