A Little Romance

            Hello everyone,

With Valentine's Day coming up soon,
I thought it would be a good time to
share a few soft and romantic
vignettes from the past.


As you probably know I love
all things tea.

Love this really old teapot
and the matching plate.



                                Romantic bouquet of peonies



I seem to have a passion
for pink as well.



           Another beautiful bouquet of
                beautiful peonies with a favorite
       teapot and tea cup.

       A pretty stack of vintage china.





              Biscuits and tea are always
a favorite.


                      Lace and linens make a romantic
setting for lunch.



                  Aqua is another favorite of mine.




You might notice that this
teapot makes a lot
of appearances in February.
It was a Valentine's Day gift
from my husband.



                  Roses always add a romantic touch.

                                                       Hope you have a good week!


                                                                             Thank you for visiting,

                                                                                          Carolyn

Brown Transferware Tea



                     Welcome February,

Winter is moving along as I find that
by February the sun is a little stronger
and you do really start to notice the 
longer hours of daylight.



Today, I am using my brown
and white transferware for
a cosy afternoon tea.

                                                                        I baked some applesauce
                                                                        cinnamon muffins for our
                                                                        tea today.

I bought this teapot a few years ago and
it is a large one so we can enjoy
lots of hot tea.




                                                                  My amaryllis are so pretty and bring
                                                                  a bit of cheer to this gardener's heart.

                                                                  I hope you have a great weekend and
                                                                  stay warm if like us you are having a
                                                                 cold snap. Thankfully, we have had a
                                                                 lot of sunshine through to perk us up.

                                                                                    Thanks for visiting,

                                                                                                    Carolyn
