Romantic Sunroom Beauty



                                                                   Happy weekend!
                                 As many of you know we have had a lot of snow here this winter ~
                                so I am beating any winter blahs with lots of summer color in our
                               little sunroom.
                                  The sun has been shining the last few days and snow is melting
                                  and inside the sunroom it is warm and cozy.
                                    I love having tea or lunch in here so I have surrounded myself
                                   with some beautiful flowers. It didn't hurt that there was a big
                                  clearance on them this week so I got lots of flowers for the
                                 cost of one bouquet of roses a few days before.
            I have got lots of enjoyment from them already and I hope you are enjoying them too!

                                             The hydrangeas are such a beautiful color!

                                                 Tulips and roses are part of the mix.


 
                                                   Of course we always have our tea!

                                   This cute boot came from Cool Breeze Garden Center.




                 I hope you can linger for awhile and bask in the sunlight here in
                           our little sun room ~ it is sure to chase away the winter blues.

                                                         Have a happy weekend!

Blue & White Transferware Tablescape



                                                                        Hello everyone,
                               I hope your week is going well. Not that I am complaining but we did
                              wake up to yet another coat of fresh snow over night. With no wind to
                             blow it around, the trees are laden with lots of snow(pretty) but sadly
                             so is our roof and balcony so I am afraid that is more shoveling unless
                             we get a good wind tonight.
                             Anyway, indoors all is cozy and warm and for a change I am using
                            my blue and white transferware dishes in our kitchen/dining room.

                       As usual, I am using a mix of different patterns ~ some of you may recognize my
                      Spode teacups.
                                            Love this old pitcher with the sweet little roses.

                           
                                Love this soup tureen from an auction sale several years ago with a
                                platter from a yard sale under it.

                                   Some of the china is new like this Skye McGhie Rhapsody plate and
                                  tea cup.

                                               Some are old like this transferware plate.

                                       The tea pot is also Skye McGhie but Rose Brocade.
                                     I love this little teapot with the tea cup underneath..I found this at a
                                    little shop in Mahone Bay a few years ago.I also have one in red and
                                   white. I know.......I am a tea pot addict(I won't mention a dish addict)!
                                       My  treasure from the 70 mile yard sale 2 years ago.

                                           The pitcher was another 70 mile yard sale treasure.

              So, I am all set for my company tomorrow ~ hope they like blue and
                        white as much as I do!

                       I am joining Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday.
