Early Spring Tea - on a Winter's Day

Tea for one -  -  -  I've been a little under the weather and decided that a nice cup of tea would be great.  With spring coming on early in the Pacific Northwest it just seemed right to have a flowery tea

A hand painted teapot, cup and saucer 

Pretty flowers for a hand painted tea set

It becomes a teacup and saucer - and a little teapot

Just right for an afternoon tea on a cool day.

 Flowers always make a tea table so pretty.  .  . 

Add a pretty hand crocheted tablecloth.  .  .

An embroidered napkin and a crystal napkin ring.  .  .

The perfect tea set for a spring cup of tea.

Sunshine and Mt. Baker

Our first day of good sunshine in a while - maybe we are breaking out into our pre-spring weather - showers a few days and then a few days of sun - I sure hope so.  I enjoy our rainy winter in the Pacific Northwest and now I think I'm ready for planting some pansies and spring.

 Mt. Baker finally has a good amount of snow - which is good for our summer water.

 Sunshine and reflections on a little, well hidden lake.

 From this view the foothills echo the shape of Mt. Baker

 And the buds are swelling on the trees

Still water on a small pond on a farm makes a great reflection.

 Abby's party dress without the pinafore

We are all ready for a party

We even have Valentine aprons

 How about some cookies - we could bake some for you.  Don't you love our pretty tablecloth - it came from our friend Candy - she sets beautiful tables - you really should visit her and see what she is doing today, she loves company and she's very sweet to send us such pretty things.

 Cookies are rolled out

 And ready to bake

 Careful - the pan might be hot

 We need to taste the cookies - make sure they are good

Yes - they are good - would you like one?  Thanks for coming by 

And don't forget to go and visit Diane and see her new friend Opal - and her Minnie Mouse dress for Wednesday Wee Ones

Bye bye - come again

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day

 Milk Glass and Red Depression Glass are perfect for Valentine's Day

 Add some sparkle and some glitter hearts

 And what is Valentine's Day without some candy hearts in a pretty heart shaped bowl?

 Napkins with hearts

 Love is everywhere

 Red roses from your Valentine always make the day special

 And a tea set with roses

One of the sweetest and most important holidays - Don proposed on Valentine's Day.
