My Royal Albert: Sweet Violets design |
Each of us had on our Christmas list a second hand Tea Cup set.
In truth we actually started this with Autumn for her 17th Birthday after her reading the beautiful book
by Emilie Barnes~ If Teacups could Talk.
Eden's: Very unique SPODE design~ just so her |
Autumn particularly loved The Teacup book as well as some of her other 'table books' and wanted to start a collection of Tea Cups. We had bought her a beautiful Crinoline Lady Tea Cup set which she really enjoys using and looking at.
Autumn's autumn leaf design by Royal Doulton, she wanted,for obvious reasons |
Of course our very girly Eden also was interested in obtaining the start to her collection as well for a Christmas gift.
Our Tea Cups together |
We plan as we return to our regular routine this month of having these cups for our after 'little children are in bed' routine. Perhaps this will also rekindle the bonding time we were enjoying with the Orchard House Circle group.
Or perhaps it will simply be a pleasant and enjoyable way to spend the evening together, sipping our favourites beverages and partaking of some "Victorian Style" grandeur!
At any rate enjoying our drinks in these beautiful cups, perhaps with a biscuit or two, will certainly be a collection of treasure memories!
Blessings to you and your homes,

Dear Gae,
Such unique cups you found! I love Autumn's; what a special thing for her to have a cup that "spells" her name!
Tea time is truly something that helps us unwind during the busy day, and enjoy each others' company. You've inspired me to have a party today!
Love,

A teacup excursion...what a perfect way to spend precious time with your girls! :)

Wow! Such beauties! What a lovely thing to collect. So feminine!
What beautifully delightful teacup treasures! Cathy
How lovely, Gae!!
You have chosen beautiful patterns fo your teacup settings. Antiques can be expensive and even op shops are charging higher prices for such settings these days. It's a joy to find a nice one that's affordable!
Your violets remind me of my own set, which my youngest son bought me for mother's day 2 years ago.
I simply love old china and vintage patterns :-)
The Orchard House Circle is a delightful idea. I wish I'd had daughters to share such lovely times with!
When my friends come here on Tuesdays evenings for our book study, I try to give them something pretty and delicate to drink from..we so enjoy feeling feminine and lady-like together :-D
God bless you dear friend..Trish
OOOO, a CATHOLIC homemaking blog, how exciting!! I have six children and don't have too much time, but will try to come and visit.
Thank you ladies for your heartfelt comments.
I appreciate them.
The time with our girls is so precious

Dear Cinnamon,
I actually don't drink tea but have coffee in mine. The girls favorite tea is English breakfast tea.
I would very much like to try Rasberry Tea but just not sure I will like it
Blessings
Gae
