Tea for One

The flowers were a gift from our pastor's Mom. She was thanking me for taking Pastor to the hospital last week (after she fell in the middle of the night and broke her arm). The biscuits are homemade, and of course some of my homemade jam too! I'm going to sit and enjoy the quiet
for awhile, hope you don't mind.

The tea cups and saucers are pre-war Japanese china. I got 5 cups and 5 saucers in a box of junk at an auction, years ago. I had 3 of them filled with flowers and gave them to my friends for mothers day one year. At the time, I didn't know they were worth anything. I paid a $1 for the whole box of junk! The detail on the tea cups is exquisite. I have 2 cups and 2 saucers left, and they stay in my collectible cabinet.

I'm joining 2 different parties this week. Please leave a message of encouragement as you drop in and visit. Everyone loves comments! You can find more fun at the below links:

Cinnabon Brunch Tablescape Thursday And Cloche Party!

I'm having some muffins and coffee, wanta sit down?
I'm using my new candelabra, with a little lace drape.
I finally found little cloche's to use for muffins, or desserts.

I have plenty of room, have a seat!

It's just dripping with delish!

I just layered on the lace tablecloths, and then added a few touches.

MMMMMM~!

I like coffee. Plain. Black. Hot. period.

I just love these fake ice cubes! They don't make the glass dirty,

don't melt while I'm taking photos.....

I LOVE the way the chandelier above the table AND the candelabra are

reflected in the spoon.

The salt and pepper match and my large collection

of Wexfordware dishes.

White Wednesday & Tablescape Thursday

I had an inspiration when it was snowing. So, I came up with these branches, with my crocheted snowflakes.

I used my blue glasses from my hope chest. Free in laundry soap in the 60's.

I bought this vase years ago as a Christmas gift, but my son broke up with the girl before I gave it to her.....ugh! I love the vase though!

The silverware was one of my first Mother's Day gifts from DH. It's Oneida, and it is like

new yet. It only gets used for tablescapes AND holidays!

Pretty crocheted snowflakes. Had them forever......

I used my clearance medium blue napkins and silver chargers.

The dishes are Dollar General, close outs. $.75 each. I bought a 4 piece setting for a grab bag gift, then took my own gift. Oops, the cats out of the bag!

I got these cute little sleds through the mail, on closeout. I knew they would go great

with snowflakes and snowmen. And they make a great little napkin ring!

Oh wow! There's a little bird nest in the limbs! How sweet! I makes a cute header, doesn't it?

One is Silver and the other's Gold - Tablescape Thursday

This week's table started out with all sparkles and silver, SO pretty! I photographed during the afternoon, and the strangest thing happened! You can see by the photos that ....

Slowly,

OH so

very,

very,

slowly,

it turns.....

TO GOLD!!!

The most delicious shade of gold!

and then it was gone! Just as quickly as it came! I think it was the mix of the candle light and natural light. I SWEAR I did not change balls. (Can I say that?)

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, I enjoy it so much! I'm linking up with the other Tablescapers at Susan's house. Please click on the below link:
