Tea on Tuesday

The dusty little ceramic trivet pictured at the bottom of this post, pretty well sums up my every morning!!! 

                                              LOL

It shouldn't, but it does- my mind wakes up stressed, and calms down as the day progresses....

This morning starts with my last teabag of Twinings New Zealand Morning, heavily doused with local Wildflower Honey.

I debated putting the tea into one of my 2 "new" thrift store finds- but then opted for a pottery mug instead!!!


Here is the first thrifty score- a partial set of several heavily crazed, vintage cups and saucers, and one cracked sandwich plate. But, I love the brown, and the style, so a use will be found for them, despite their age and fragility.

                                      Copeland Spode Buttercup- cute little basketweave design


                              Vintage Frankoma tea (really coffee) pedestal pottery mug


Tea napkin rings



And, that dusty little ceramic trivet, that about sums it all up-  I will have to attempt using Picasa today, to see if I can resolve blogger's issue of refusing to right my pix- 

Let the stress begin.......

  3. Those napkin rings really caught my eye. Not sure why I can't find anything good at my thrift store, but they have NOTHING that compares to your awesome finds. Hope by now that you are well into the stress free part of your Tea Tuesday.

  5. Hello my friend: I am not sure why you are so stressed. I am very sorry. I know what stress can do. I will say a prayer for you today. This marks the second week in a row that you have shared cups I own too. I own last week's heart cup and the very first cup you have the creamy yellow and brown one I own as well. Can it be that two great minds think alike? :) Always love my visit here. Remember, God is Faithful and will not give us more than we can bear. Sending a big HUG! Martha

  7. if you are using picasa, don't use the Blogger link in the bottom tool bar...edit your photos and save them then go to your blog and load them through the post...if that doesn't work, save them to your desk top and load from there...i'm pretty good at Picasa if you have any questions, i'll try to help...happy tea day, pat, i love your tea cup finds, especially the little spode cuppa
