A Little Bit of Dutch Blue




Welcome!

It is Tea Time again and today's tea was
inspired by a lovely calender I received
from my fellow tea friend Bernideen .



                                                         You can see a little bit of Dutch here
                                                         with the Dutch calender in the background.

    Tulips and roses on the windowsill.
                                                  I love all the dutch inspired photos on
                                                 the calender and it brings back memories
                                                 of my sweet Dutch Mama. Thank you
                                                 Bernideen......I will treasure it!
                                                 

                                                          Sit for awhile and enjoy a cup of tea
                                                         as the sunroom is a lovely spot to be on
                                                         these sunny late winter days.In here you
                                                         can even feel a little spring.
                                                             A mix of china.
I had to show you another recent thrift
find....isn't it irresistible?
                                                 





                                                 




                                                 Hope you have a good week.......I think
                                                           there is a hint of spring in the air and it
                                                          is nice to see a little bit of melting going on
                                                          here.

                                                              I am joining Rose Chintz Cottage,

    What a pretty post, Carolyn! The calendar is really lovely and a thoughtful gift from our friend Bernideen. I have a sweet Dutch DIL whose parents both came from the old country. So my little grandson and granddaughter are both half Dutch and both cutie-pies! Your blue and white china is beautiful. Have a beautiful day and yes, I do believe there is a feeling of spring in the air at last.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    Hi Carolyn,
    How lovey of sweet Bernideen to send you the calendar! The image of the Dutch gentleman reminds me of the photo you took of Andrew tending your garden in the morning mist, one of your and my fave photos, too. There's something ethereal about that image. Anyhow, gotta run and start work. Have a cuppa for moi, would ya! Hugs XO
    Wishing you a beautiful day,

    So pretty! I love the various pieces. Your soup tureen jumped out at me, as it is stunning. The fun use of pitchers as vases did bring the Spring indoors!

    What a sweet post and so glad you are enjoying your calendar. The closest I have gotten to Holland is Pella, Iowa's tulip festival. that is a wonderful heritage. Your post with your blue and white theme is wonderful.
