I've been working very hard this week~SPRING CLEANING. I was able to get most of the house done but there's always so much to do! I haven't washed the windows or cleaned out all the closets yet, but I was able to get quite a bit done. At least the woodstove dust is gone gone gone! And here it is time for Miss Spenser's Teacup Thursday already!
I love this cup and saucer. Jim bought it for me at the doll show in March and I've been saving it for this week. As Tuesday was May Day, I thought this was such a perfect teacup. It's by Aynsley and features a couple different nursery rhymes that we learned long ago. I love nursery rhymes. Do children still learn them?
"Mary Mary, quite contrary.....how does your garden grow?"
I adore this little Miss Mary watering her silver bells and cockle shells...
The cup has sweet little ladies singing "Ring-a-Ring of roses, a pocket full of posies."
A bit different from the way we used to sing it. Don't you love the colors and the design?
This darling piece of linen just seems to be another Miss Mary in her garden! It opens up and has a pocket inside.
I shared this little plate last year for May Day, but I love it so much, I thought it should be shared again.
The charming children are dancing around the May Pole.
So this is my yummy dessert tonight after all my hard work. Treats are good. Jim returns home later today-he's been off fishing again. I have plenty of goodies to share with him with tea or coffee when he tells me all those "fish stories" once he's home again.
My youngest daughter sent me a text that she'll be home from Seattle this weekend and I guess my two kids have cooked up an early Mother's Day time together on Saturday. First on the list...help the mom get a new phone...a smart phone! Something new for the old mom!
I started a new Beth Moore bible study a few weeks ago on James and of course, it is so good! We meet on Thursday mornings, so I won't be able to read and enjoy your TEA TIME posts until the afternoon or evening.
