We started out today with hope of rain. We got a small sprinkling and then nothing. Oh how we need a good pouring all day kind of rain!
I have the day to myself and of course it has been filled with household chores. But, I decided to take a break and even make myself a little pretty tea lunch.
Isn’t that just the cutest teapot? I recently found him and immediately brought him home to live at my house!
This teacup was a gift from my dad a few years ago. He found it an antique store while shopping with my mom. I just love the colors and the design!
Raspberries are one of my all time favorite fruits!
And blinging up a simple jar is as easy as a bit of white grosgrain ribbon and a dollar store beaded bracelet!
A little tarnished vintage silver tray.
I love these blue and white floral plates. I have had them for years.
So, that was my little tea luncheon. I hope you enjoyed your visit. And have a wonderful day!

ReplyDeleteSundays are my day of rest and I'm very glad that you took the time out for a little tea time. Sometimes moments are enough in our busy lives, sometimes it takes a whole day. I'm taking the day! We all do need the rain. Hope your Sunday is a wonderful one!
ReplyDeleteLove the tea cup! Great post! I'm a blue and white dish fan!
ReplyDeleteEverything is so pretty! Love that teapot!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get some rain! We finally have had some the last day or so...off and on. My flowers are happy and I am happy that I get a break from watering them! :)
Diane, your teapot is sweet. This little tea you set up for yourself is just so cute!! I love how took a dollar store bracelet and used it turn a berry jar into a gorgeous piece!
ReplyDeleteI love the blue and white! It is always so refreshing to me. I hope you get some rain soon! We've had a few showers but its so hot it doesn't help much. Happy Sunday! Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteOh how quaint! :D I love all the delicate blues and sweet raspberries! All is so lovingly decorated! :)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
What a beautiful teacup gift form your father, how special!
ReplyDeleteI love your pretty raspberry tea lunch.
What a charming lunch for one! Of course, the blue and white is so inviting as I those are my favorites. The flatware looks so sweet tucked under the blue napkin ring. My favorite is the sweet teacup. Your father has good taste!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely little tea you had today. I love all your blues together, and even your "bling" on your jar. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteTea time is always nice. Loved the raspberries among all the blue.

Your teapot is unique, and just precious. In addition, I'd say your father is about the sweetest man ever! He sure had a good eye to pick out an excellent gift for you.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday, Diann.
You took a break in style. Love your setting. In Texas, where I live, the heat is almost unbearable.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful China Collection!

ReplyDeleteA darling teapot!!! Love the sweet cup from your dad. Your plates are perfect in this setting.. xo pretty. xo marlis
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty setting with your blue and white china. The new tea pot fits right in and gives it a touch of whimsy.
ReplyDeleteHey, Diann! My husband and I were awakened by a strange noise this morning. We strained to recognize what it was. Lo and behold...it was thunder! It is actually raining!!! It's a wonderful feeling and the smell is so nice. I hope you get some soon. We're all happy about it right now, but when the clouds move out and the sun pops in to bring back those 100+ temps this afternoon along with VERY high humidity, I'm not so sure! :-) This is a very pretty setting, and the Mason jar treatment is really super. I don't know that I would ever has guessed that tea pot to be a tea pot! It's darling!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet tea lunch you've set! I love all the delicate blue & white china. That teapot is so cute!
ReplyDeleteSuch a unique teapot! Very pretty setting with the blue! Enjoy those berries!
ReplyDeleteI love the blue and white, it is so refreshing. Those plates are really pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet setting for one! I think it's important that we take time for ourselves. I love raspberries and eat them every day they are in season. This year we planted a raspberry bush and hopefully next summer I can pick my own. What a wonderful teapot, and the blue and white is always a winning combination!
ReplyDeleteI love those blue and white plates , so soft and delicate. Very pretty tea for one! The birds and deer usually enjoy my berries! Not one blueberry this year!
