First Tea Time On the Porch This Spring

Tweet

I spent most of today gardening and doing some more weeding.  It wasn't what I had planned on doing but once I got started, I couldn't stop!

I know my back will be feeling it later.

I'll just take some Tylenol now!

I had planned on going to the barn and working with Echo more today.

He dragged me around yesterday in my lesson and I've got to get a handle on that!!!!

Since I'm not as strong as before (which has nothing to do with it), it has made me feel weak and less able to be assertive and evidently he reads that in me in about 30 seconds!

Anyway,

I'll go to the barn tomorrow.

Today I gardened!

And had tea on the porch!

It was a peaceful beautiful day.

I just had some little butter cookies since I hadn't made any goodies.

This little dish is one of my favorite antique flow blue dishes.

It's from Germany.

Flow blue is getting harder to find at a good price.

Spirit and Dexter wanted my cookies so I had to put them inside before they knocked over my little table!  They weren't pleased.

I got this little rag rug for the porch for this year.

One of my favorite little bird baths.

Unfortunately it is a perfect height for the dogs to drink from too!!

I have a few of these giant blue hostas.  I think they are the prettiest!

I brought in a few columbine this morning.

They are so pretty and are early bloomers in the spring and one of the flowers that attract the hummingbirds.

I'm linking this post with The Dedicated House for Anything Blue Friday.

I hope your day was as peaceful as mine.

Christmas Tea

Tweet

I had this book for a number of years and always take it out and read the little story at this time of year.  

Since I'm older now, I guess I can relate a little better!!

I have tea time everyday that I'm home around 3 or 4pm.

Dexter came to tea.  But I think he's more interested in the cookies!

Merry Christmas

Autumn Tea

Tweet

These days have been beautiful and mild and sunny.  I wish it could just stay like this all winter, but no dice here in NE Ohio!!  So the you know what will come!!

I had a nice time watching the chickens in the yard and having a little pot of tea.

The girls love scratching around and finding "things" under the leaves!

Tomorrow is supposed to be as nice as today.

Hope it's nice in your part of the world too.

Bargains and Buys

Tweet

I went shopping at a couple of my favorite places this past Sunday.

First, my biggest bargain was from Good Will.

This cute, light weight, quilted jacket cost me $3.00!!!!!

It's a wedgwood blue color and looks like it's never been worn!

I then went to the Medina Antique Mall.  It's very big and I didn't really expect to find any huge bargains.  However I got these two cute tea pots for very reasonable prices.  The little one cupper was $6.99 and the taller rose bud one was $9.99.   

Now this blue and white one I won on Ebay.  It will go well with my Blue Willow type dishes.

The silver plate tea stainers are something I've wanted for awhile for loose tea leaves.

Prices weren't too high but then there's that darn shipping.  

I think I'd do better just going to the antique mall.

Of course flea markets and garage sales will be starting up soon.

Spring, where are you???

All My Tea Pots . . . . so far

Tweet

I saw a post on someone's blog about their tea pots and it made me look around to see how many I've collected over the years.

I have quite a few so I thought I'd show them to you.

I have 11 so far.

This is my newest one I bought a few weeks ago on eBay.

I think I picked this one up at a garage sale

These next two were from my aunt Addah's estate.

They are antiques and treasured pieces in brown transfer.

This cute little 2 cupper was from a garage sale.

This is the little 2 cupper I use a lot for my afternoon teas when it's just me.

It's by Sadler and I forget where I got it.

This looks the same but is a bigger 6 cup pot.

I think I got this one at Marshalls

My Christmas tea pot that came with the little book "A Cup of Christmas Tea".

I bought this one at Marshals

I forget where I got this little single pot with it's own cup.

That's it for now.  All my pretty tea pots.

Cup of tea anyone?

End of January Tea

The wind is blowing and it has started to snow pretty hard.  It is so cold.
Nothing like a warm spot of tea.

Rocky, an English Pointer joined me for tea.

Tea in the Parlor

Tweet

Oh my, it was after four and I hadn't had my tea !!

I set up a quick little setting in my living room which used to be called the parlor years ago in this house.

I had green tea, so no milk.

Last evening my dogs got into this tin of cookies and ate the last of them up!!

Phooey!!
