Since I have done a few pastel tea times lately I thought I would share
a red and white theme for this Valentine's Day tea.
dishes for several years now and my collection slowly keeps growing.It
is a mix and match of several patterns. The tea cups are Vista by Mason.
The ginger cookies are also on a little Vista plate.
match. The ones you see here are in the middle window and are
actually a long pair of valences but I think they work well for now.
All the curtains are the same color(golden ecru) but a little different
pattern and all were bought at thrift shops over time. I think if I am
patient sooner or later I find just the right little treasure!
pitcher behind was also a gift from another friend a few years ago.
Both are treasures to me ~ the friends and the gifts!
Hope you are enjoying your week ~ do you have any special plansfor Valentine's Day?
I am joining Rose Chintz Cottage for Tea Time Tuesday
and Bernideen's Tea Time Blog for Friends sharing tea.
Thank you for visiting!

Love your red transferware, Carolyn. For sure, there is nothing like red roses for exquisite beauty. Yours are delightful. Susan
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely and peaceful spot to enjoy a cup or tea or coffee. Your transferware is beautiful. I am been using a lot of soft tones lately too. I just love pastel colors but reds are always warm and inviting too.
ReplyDeleteHave a great rest of the week.

Caroly I am newer to red transfer ware than yourself; however I lucked on a good buy of mixed pieces of Vista but unhappily no cup/saucers...still looking for them.
ReplyDeleteLove your new header and as usual a very pleasing post.
One very special favour I request from all the dear ladies in blogland...Please oh! Please give St. Valentine his title of Saint. He was a real person and a bishop in the Catholic Church as was St. Patrick and everyone on his feastday call him St. Patrick..not just Patrick...so please in future call him SAINT Valentine. Bless each and everyone of you and may you have a blessed St. Valentine's Day with your loved ones.
With joy,
Sylvia Faye
Absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful collection of red and white transferware - sure is fun to put it to such good use.
It's just perfect for St. Valentine's Day, Carolyn!
I posted some happy news today. ♥
Your dishes are always so delightful to see with the table set so wonderfully. I am sure you are dreaming every day about your garden and imagining how it will be!
ReplyDeleteYour transferware is very pretty. Happy Valentine's Day.
ReplyDeleteBonjour , j'aime surtout le Rose mais votre billet et superbe avec cette jolie Nappe . J'aime votre jolie Vaisselle
ReplyDeleteBonne journée
Your tea setting is perfectly lovely. The pitcher with the roses is very 'eye catching'. Thank you for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love all your dishes. You have an eye for beauty!!
ReplyDeleteLove your transferware. I collect the red as well. The covered dish and pitcher are beautiful, as are the roses. The petals look like velvet.
ReplyDeleteI love your collection of red transferware! I am a lover of red and have just recently started collecting it. I found a pretty large set of all plates, and two sizes of saucer of the Vista by Mason at a thrift for $20. I was thrilled, but hope to find some teacups to add to it. I actually love mixing patterns! Beautiful Valentines tea!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
