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.......

 


For a totally stress-free visit with other tea fanciers- drop by to "see"  Patty (and hear all about her wonder-full vacation) and Kimmie (for art-full adventures)- they will have a link to other Tea on Tuesday folk!
Please feel free to join us every Tuesday to visit, or share your own tea escapades (tescapades?)

I am headed over there right now!!!


****Also -visit  www.ooglebloops.com for the details on the upcoming Mountain Meadows Quilters Retreat- we have local bluegrass group Thompson's Store Revival playing in my back field after the workshop!! Their link will be up on the site tonite, hopefully!!

Pink Saturday

Mrs. Shenk's beautiful peonies- I am waiting for mine to open!!

I collect vintage knicknack shelves and repaint them. I've kept a few, like this one that hangs in our guestroom/office !!
Eventually that room will be pale pink and cocoa brown, the colors of the shelf and my Frankoma rose bowl!
