Tea Time Thursday #42


Happy Tea Time Thursday! I cannot believe another week has slipped away. We were so busy with the Expo show and we had another great show! It takes these old retired folks several days to rest up and get back to normal. I forgot about blogging for a few days~shame on me!

Last week, I talked about Japanese Lusterware and children's toy tea sets and dishes. I just love the charm and the look of lusterware. When I was sorting through items for the show, I found this adorable little trio. I purchased it at a sale last fall and I forgot about it. All the pieces are elephants! So cute. I love the little girl riding on the elephant tea pot. The creamer is so funny.




I shared this little teapot before but it's really a nice one. My SIL Chris gave it to me when I set up my sewing room and it is a favorite.


Our weather has been so hot this summer with many days over 90 degrees. This morning, it was cool and a bit overcast and soooo refreshing. I took this photo before the sun was really out, so it is a bit dark. Earlier this spring, my hubby bought a big lot of Mary Engelbreit items. I was excited as the lot had some planters and containers for flowers. Jim also found me the wire stand you can see for $4.oo
so it all worked out.  Enjoy the pictures. I had fun putting it together earlier this summer.








How is your summer where you live? Lots of intense and crazy weather across the USA. I find myself thinking of fall about this time of the year. Our grandbaby's big 1st birthday party is this weekend. Fun fun fun. Keep cool or dry, depending on where you live!

Teacup Thursday #65


Happy Teacup Thursday~hosted by Miss Spenser of  Miss Spenser's Teacup Thursday. This is my 65th week to share a cup and saucer. People ask me how many teacups I have and actually, I don't know! I sell some and give others away.
Don't you just love carnations? This is such a pretty teacup by Taylor Kent of England. It brings back memories of my childhood. When we lived in Long Beach CA, my mom grew lots of carnations. I've never been able to grow them as well. I don't think we get as much sun here in Oregon. Ahhhh....I can smell that sweet scent now.




I love children's china and have found a few pieces this spring and summer at some of the shows and  estate sales. I thought I'd share a few of the older pieces this week.


I love ABC plates and I have been hoping to find one for awhile.



This sweet little linen ABC book is the perfect addition to the children's china. It's from 1899.



This little plate has had a hard life, but I still love it, especially the center picture. Charming.



I hope you are having a lovely week. It's been another busy one for me. Etsy is doing well!
My daughter Gina's wedding is getting closer. Lots to do and lots of fun things to plan and enjoy.
My oldest daughter is working on Gina's special "pink" shower. It's going to be so pretty and beautiful.
