Tea onTuesday

Well, today's Tea on Tuesday is a veritable mishmash of different stuff- which loosely translated, means I had no clue what to write about today!!!!

Happy February all !!! Can you believe that Valentine's Day is a mere 13 days away!!! Where did January go!!!

The above pic is of a cool mouse pad/calendar that my daughter found for 50 cents at Michael's!!Each calendar month features a different cup - they are all really coffee - but the cups are very cute, regardless!!!

Below, is my tea today - a chamomile citrus, sent to me by Peggy, over at Passions of an Odd Chick- thank you, thank you!!! Very delicious!!!

This tea is going in an "orphan" thrift shop teacup-Aynsley bone china- it's really quite pretty - the photo doesn't do it justice at all!

I really need to stop rescuing cups that are saucer-less. I am running out of room!!!

Below is a new favorite antique shop find - I am not sure if it was meant to be a baby quilt, or was just made as a lap quilt. It is of vintage flour/feed sacks for the most part. I love it!! It was a little more than I usually spend - but at $10, it was still cheaper than it would have cost me to buy a couple of individual vintage feed sacks!!!

I am starting to amass a collection of locally made, and what I call "character", quilts. They are all pretty darn unattractive, but have alot of character!!!Despite their outward appearance, they are serviceable and very warm! And, they all took someone a long time to make.

The white flowered print on the right is my favorite - almost a seersucker type fabric.

 The reverse really is unattractive, and totally keeping with the theme of my collection!!LOL

Please feel free to join us every and any Tuesday for tea!

Tea on Tuesday- Last Day of August...........

Summer's almost over, altho'  you couldn't tell by the temperatures we have had here lately!

I am still "abed", with my mug of chamomile tea, a good book, and two dogs who are playing lazy today also!

                                    (two reasons why I will never have a nice bedspread on my bed!)


I am re-reading a book sent to me by a good friend, and fellow apron fanatic, Lennie. The Apron Book, by EllynAnne Geisel is a must have, if you love aprons!

It has stories, memories, photos, and patterns of aprons. The vintage aprons from the author's collection are to die for!

There is even a pull out pattern in the back of the book, and other patterns within the pages.

I am using a cute little bookmark, sent to me by Lennie's daughter, Diane- a piece of scrap quilt fashioned into a blanket stitched kitty. Thanks, Diane and Lennie!!!!

I also received a belated b'day gift in the mail - tea time chimes!!!! They are now hanging out back by the picnic table. Thanks, Evan!!!

Well, staying in the bed doesn't last very long- would be nice if it did.............................time to get moving- chores to be done, animals waiting on me to get moving!!!
