Tea Cozie Cottage

Well going to try this again, did it already and wiped it away.
Happy spring day, my mil would have been 92 today, strange not to have her here, 630 p.m. right now and the sun is shining, is that a good sign, I do hope so.

Found this advertisement for these dishes today, stored away, I ordered them in 1998' almost an antique - like me

Come and join me for tea today, ignore the snow outside window, forget that on the weekend it was all gone.
I'm late this week or maybe I'm early for next, we spent the weekend in the city, tried to have tea at the Royal York in Toronto but they are booked five weeks in advance.
I'm serving the tea on a server that we have had for years, top lifts up for hot foods and it is on casters, very nice piece.
One of my favourite colours is purple, but had no teapot in that colour. So found one on ebay and ended up getting three, violets, and pansies. And only have one cup n saucer in the same colour, lots of pinks, blues, one purple- go figure.

Bernideen has one that I so admire , but loving this one, makes me feel like spring on the inside anyways -inside of house.

Have 6 of these plates, no marking on the back, it is very fragile, almost like paper, got them back in the 80's, the little china mug could almost be a tea cup missing a saucer, but don't think so. Not purple but has violets in the background.
Making rabbit ear nApkins for Easter, have to improve on this one, needs an iron.

Enjoying theCharms of Tea, recipes makes you hungry...

My only tea cup and saucer, the edges remind you of a Shelley, but it's a Royal Albert, so dainty

In fact it's called "dainty Dina series"

Have had this dainty little jug for years too, the flowers on top all match.

Our tea today is a green tea and having banana bread for out treat.

Make the banana bread in small loaves - psychological - I think I'm not eating as much - yeh right...
Thank you for joining me for tea today, I am sharing it with
