New Blue Transferware for Tea Time



Welcome Dear Tea Time Friends to

"New Blue Transferware for Tea Time!"


I had been contemplating about purchasing this Ridgeway Staffordshire England transferware for three weeks from my favourite thrift store.


I really couldn't believe it would still be there yesterday.


I guess it was just meant to be mine.



  It was $20 for two teacups,


 one tea plate 


and the cream and sugar.










I really am a "pink" person but I can see such beauty in blue transferware.


I found this charming teapot a few months ago for $7.00.
It is Made in China.








Thank you for stopping by for

See you next week!

Dahlias and Tea


Welcome Sweet Tea Friends to

"Dahlias and Tea"!



On the way to the cottage, there is a Vista Dahlia Farm. They sell their lovely dahlias along the country roadside.  



I simply must stop every time that we drive by...


Wouldn't you stop too?


This weekend the dahlias have just started to bloom in the farm field.


It's such fun to choose the colours that you want and bring them home to make your own bouquet!





The teacups that I would like to share with you today are both Royal Albert patterns.


The first precious teacup was from my dear friend, Debbie ~ my friend since grade one! She was recently cleaning out her cupboards and wondered if I would like it to add to my collection.
I LOVE it! 
Thank you my "oldest" friend.
(I'm actually one week older and we have an ongoing joke about this!)


It is the prettiest shade of blue with dainty pink and yellow flowers and greenery. 





The second dainty teacup is the palest of pink with pretty rosebuds.  I have shared it before
Do you remember it?









Thank you for stopping by sweet teacup friends for

"Dahlias and Tea!"


See you next week!
