Friends Sharing Tea

I think it is time for a spring tea party.  The flowers are blooming, some days are sunny and warm - just perfect for tea.
 A pretty teacup and a flower pot napkin ring.
 The flower pots came with the bottoms cut out - I just painted them.  I have seen tutorials online for cutting out the bottoms of regular tiny flower pots - but I am glad I found some already cut.
 Fancy napkins always make tea a little nicer


 A pansy teapot is perfect for spring - the tablecloth was a find on ebay - seems not many people want to bid on these vintage tablecloths.
 Pretty roses on this teacup - all these items are from thrift shops or yard sales.

Sit, enjoy a cup of tea and a cookie or two.

I love pansies. I wanted to get some for my flower pots, but Canadian Tire didn't have any in bright colours. I opted for some marigolds in yellow and orange. - Margy

JoAnn, I would love to join you for tea. Wouldn't that be fun! I love the little pansy t-pot. So sweet. Jerry bought me two of the crocheted cloths way back from the flea market. I used one as a bedspread for a long time. They are so pretty..Happy Tuesday..Judy

Unfortunately, I never get invited to placed where such lovely stuff gets used. Guess I look like large ceramic mug type. I Do like Earl Grey tea, though.

I have never understood why people don't wish to buy these vintage table cloths - when I think of the work that has gone into somany of them - I personally love them and have bought several in antique shops over the years - I now have to stop myself buying more!

Should we have our cup of tea before we play dollies? lol I love pretty tea cups and was so wanting a new one. So I went to the thrift store and found a white one and a saucer that was a close match. It made my day! Enjoy your afternoon sweet friend. Hugs, Diane

Your table settings and the way you photograph them make me feel like I am sitting down right there to enjoy tea, a cookie and a lovely conversation with you!
