Tea time Tuesday

Welcome to my tea today. I was going to use my Serena pieces for tea, but then got thinking Sandi is looking for the teacup and saucer, so won't use it, didn't want to rub it in. I was actually going to send her a cup n ' saucer. Don't need to now, but my intentions are good.
Sandi wonders how many cups n saucers we have. I must count too. An auctioneer friend was telling hubby that his wife was checking out a website of a lady in London Ontario who has over a thousand cups n' saucers. When I get off here going to look for them.
I have mentioned that at auctions tea cups don't sell anymore. If they are non-named brands we tray them and they go for two to six dollars. Better names-Aynsley/Royal Abert/Wedgewood/Copeland etc. they bring a little bit of money, even Shelley doesnt bring the high money anymore. Really sad, I do hope it turns around.
Enough of the small talk, lets have a cuppa

another new teapot, not as nice as last weeks, but still pretty. This I could use everyday and not worry about it breaking. Roses, never enough roses.

A Sadler, see the sticker is still half on the bottom

Finally my roses are back again, although not as many as some of you have,  but should have some for the next couple of weeks.

Going to use some of my Shelley Cup n saucers, have a set of two cups/saucers and cream n sugar, but going to use a different cup n saucer that is very similar. So pretty with pink trimming on the lip and saucer edge and the pink handle. Love it...

My handsome grandson Damane joining me for tea again. It's the treats he wants.


this one is trimmed with gold, and a pink handle, but so close to the other that is called
Rose & Red










the creamer has a little rose on the spout and the creamer below has the
rose on the inside of the lip

here is the other cup n saucer that matches, one has the name on the
bottom and the other just Shelley and the number



sharing my gold fish with you, lots of little black babies, gold fish and my one Koi at the top of the picture-yellow one. Had five but the heron got the four, lovely bird...



Went to homesense today and they had these chairs - I love them, the backs are pink and grey striped material. If I only had room. They are so cheerful, the walls in my living room are grey, and I love pink. Have to share this with Pink Saturday, I'm ready already.

Now Sandi I love Lady Carlyle that is the cup n saucer that I think of right now off the top of my head.
 Iam joining these posts for tea today and the rest of the week. Thank you for stopping by, I enjoyed your visit...

  2. Oh, Betty, your Shelley teacups are lovely! It is a shame that folks don't enjoy teacups any longer, isn't it? Even when I have company, the majority of guests want to use a mug! But when I have a tea party, I insist on bringing out my teacups.
    What a wonderful sport your grandson is to sip tea from a dainty cup!
    I don't expect to find the other Serena any time soon as the Island does not have a great supply of teacups, antique or otherwise.
    Thank you for joining me for tea today. I always enjoy having you.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  14. It is a shame that so many things just don't get the good prices at auction anymore. Your tea cups are very pretty and what a pleasure to see that strapping handsome grandson drinking tea out of a pink cup. Who cares if he really only wants the treats!!!! LOL

  16. I saw a teapot, cream and sugar like to top photo at the Brass Armadillo in Denver for $35.00 on Friday. Isn't it amazing how we all are collecting something....
