Well I think I'm getting the hang of blogging, at least I think I am then someone will suggest something I should do and I'm at a loss again.
On Saturday Iam going to have a surprise Mothers Day Tea for my mother and her sisters and a sister-in-law. She has five sisters, one can't make due to ill health so we should have six all together seven counting me. I'm going to be too nervous to sit. I have started the tablesetting already and going to share one of the cups n saucers. Maybe two, I don't want to run out some day, although I can always get more.
1970 the first year we got married I had bought a cup n saucer like this one for my mother and my mother-in-law for Mothers Day, from our local store that sold china, Cups n saucers, Royal Doultons etc. It was an amazing store. I always loved the pattern so was lucky enough to get one at an auction. Have to say it is one of my favorites. That is until I look at another one and will feel the same about it.
For our "Mothers Day Tea" going to have lilac and pink -leading to cranberry pink, so this
cup n saucer is perfect for it and this one will be at mom's setting for her to use. I know she loves it too.

It is a Royal Albert as is the one below, which has the pink and lilac flowers,
Will show more pictures later this week and Saturday for Pink Saturday.

I wish I were coming to tea! I love your tea cups. I could not choose. They are both gorgeous. Please post some photos from your beautiful tea and enjoy the family time. Happy Mother's Day to all!
ReplyDeleteHello Betty
ReplyDeleteI see you are new to blogging and gathering for tea each week is a nice way to meet other women bloggers. Your teacups are pretty and your Mother's Day tea will be wonderful for sure. Decorating the sugar cubes is not hard - you use royal icing and a #1 tip; they really add a special touch to a tea table.
I'll have to look up your location, we're just south of Barrie.

Betty,
ReplyDeleteIt is so lovely to know a new person who loves tea parties! Your Royal Doulton chintz cups and saucers are beautiful and are just perfect for tea time. I love your idea of a surprise tea for your Mother and her sisters and how delighted they will be with you honoring them.
Have a beautful Mother's Day!
