Late Night Tea

Congratulations Sandi on your 3rd anniversary. I had planned on using my Old country Roses Tea Mugs that match Sandi's teapot and cup n saucers, but the gold is wearing off, no way for an anniversary get together. I am late getting this arranged so going to use two favouri
te china mugs, they are Staffordshire-David Michael China, great size, Lily of the Valley, I love them. It's 11:30 past, and I love a cup of tea late at night, had my cup cakes, which is bad, now enjoying a pot of Dreamland Tea, it's -17 outside and I'm so cozy on the settee in our bedroom posting my blog.

when we were in England at the afternoon tea, we had a charming white teapot, that I loved the shape of, this one I got at Homesense, and use it all the time. It came with a insert for tea leaves in it, but not needed tonight. This is my old 1957-1960 stove a General Electric, have two ovens with two drawer underneath, sometimes they are a warming oven but mine isn't it. Now not to over use the word Love, but I Love my stove. Had a man come to give me a price years ago on a new countertop and he looked at the stove and said "mam the first thing you have to do is get rid of this old stove", I said to him-do you know how long it took me to find it? No Way. Anyways, back to our tea
Made some miniature cupcakes today, so join me for a cup of tea and cupcake in our bedroom, gee that don't sound proper, let me refrain it-please join me for a cup of dreamland tea upstairs in our sitting room...
 
these roses I bought a week ago
today at the grocery store for 10.00 dollars, they are still looking great, if I had got them at a florist they would be dead by now.

  1. What a truly lovely tea.

    I know exactly what you mean about grocery flowers, they're the best and longest lasting and most inexpensive!!

    I laughed out loud about your old stove. Good for you. I had one like that but not two oven one but similar looking when I was first married. I bet it's still out there working somewhere, they're built to LAST!

  2. Hello Betty,
    Your late night tea looks lovely. How nice that you have a sitting area in your bedroom! It must be very relaxing. A nice cup of sleepy tea before bed can be very helpful.
    I do love Lily of the Valley and your two tea mugs have the perfect design of them! So pretty!
    Hugs,
    Terri

  4. Hello dear Betty,
    What a lovely tea! Your mugs are so pretty and I like your tea pot. Isn't it funny that man didn't recognize the uniqueness of your stove!
    My picture browser button is working again. I'm wondering if yours is. I hope so, it makes creating a post so much easier. Thank you, my friend, for joining me for my special tea this week and keep warm. It's -18 here right now. It's a cold week!

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  8. Grocery store flowers are always fresh where I shop and much cheaper than the florist. I favour carnations over anything because of how long they last but your pink roses are gorgeous and have kept well too.
    I bake cupcakes often so while trying to lose weight, recently bought a mini pan and just hope I won't eat twice as many.

  15. Oh...love the stove! I wish I had one in my kitchen. Your teapot is lovely. Isn't HomeSense great? I enjoy shopping there but try not to go too often so I'm not tempted. :o)

    The roses are so pretty and how wonderful they've lasted so long. Enjoy them!
