Calico Tea

By // No comments:


                                                                       Hello everyone,

                                                          I hope you had a lovely weekend.
                                                         
                                                          We are in the process of closing up
                                                           our Ocean Song cottage for the winter
                                                           so before we leave I want to enjoy a
                                                           cup of tea using my calico tea set that
                                                           I bought a few months ago. I know I
                                                           didn't need another teapot but how
                                                           could I resist ? It suits well with the
                                                           blue and white theme at the cottage.



                                                        I love the mugs too that were also a
                                                        thrift find.
                                                                               
                                                                  We will still be popping in to the
                                                                   cottage but won't be staying at
                                                                   night again until spring.

                                                          My calico tea set sits happily on
                                                                     the table waiting until our next
                                                                     tea time.

                                                                        I had my last house and garden tour
                                                                     on Thursday and we have decided not
                                                                     to do the tours next year. I really enjoyed
                                                                     my visitors over the last several years but
                                                                      relaxing more at our little seaside cottage
                                                                      doesn't seem like a good thing at this time
                                                                      in our lives.
                                                                           So, with milder weather this week we
                                                                        will get our garden cleaned up for winter
                                                                      and then soon start decorating for the Christmas
                                                                      season that will be here before we know it!

                                                                                              Thank you for popping in!

                                                                                                                 Carolyn

Blue & White Transferware Tea

By // No comments:




Hello everyone,

I think some of you know that I have
a' thing 'for transferware of any
color but  blue and white is definitely 
one of my favorites..



I love this platter.





                                                                          Tea and homemade biscuits
                                                                          is always a favorite for afternoon
                                                                          tea time.



This is another teapot that my husband
gave me a number of years ago.




Although this soup tureen was not
part of my tea I was sure you
would want to see it! Ha!Ha!



Today was Islander Day so my husband
  and I decided to go to the cottage(above)
for the afternoon.
It was a bright sunny day so it doesn't
take long to warm it up with a fire
in the wood stove.
We enjoyed our tea time there today.
     I have to say I am starting to look forward
   to spending more time there when spring
arrives.

I hope you enjoyed your visit!

Take care,

Carolyn
