Green Tea?

I hate to admit this, but I don't like hot tea.

There, I said it.

Now, I like it iced, but I've never been fond of it hot.

So what's my problem???

Do you have any tips that might make it possible for me to enjoy the

pasttime of drinking hot tea?

Is it the cup??

Because if it is:

I've got it made!

I think I found this cup at a flea sale.  I couldn't believe it was just sitting there waiting for me!

And I'd like you to also see something else in green.

It's a set of servers, from England.  They are marked, but my picture was blurry, so I didn't use it.

The letters are stamped on the back of the pieces and are:

PRIMES?  Then EP on another mark with others stamps of

I F & S  and another S.

Don't know if they're all correct, because it was hard for me to see it much less get a picture of it!

Can anyone tell me anything about the mark?  I don't even know what language this is!!

Russian?  French?

My husband thinks it says, "swatorhthicth shehloghhslnmandoth"

At least that's what it sounded like when he tried. LOL!!

He loves this little cup.  I think he prefers the greens.

I'm going to be linking up with the fun TEA PARTIES!!!

See the list on the sidebar to the right???  There are a bunch of Tuesday Tea Parties listed there and I'm on my way to add my post to them all!

Be sure and jump over there and check them out.  You won't be sorry!!

LOTS of gorgeous teacups and tea things....

It will make you want a cup of tea...that is if you like it!!!

Blessings, Doni



Demi Tasse set #3

The SQUARE set!

Yes, it looks lovely but how on earth do you drink out of that??? I think I'd probably break a tooth!

BUT, it's so cute, so I'll just have to try!  If I post a picture of myself with some teeth missing you must all feel sorry for me by doing the same.

Just kidding.  I won't make you drink out of a square teacup, just knock out a tooth!

Hoffard, Fine China.  It's so sweet! I love it as part of the collection, and hopefully will be adding to this collection soon.  I think I've found a new love...Demi Tasse sized teacups!

I'm joining in the fun at all the parties below.  Please join us!  Any thing associated with Tea works!

And please accept this invitation to join me here on Thursdays for Pearls and Lace Thursday! We all love bling and pearls are a must have, so show us your pretties!

Be Blessed!

Demi Tasse set #2

Some day...it will be quite a few days into the future, I will be a grandmother of a little girl or two who might want to join me for a Tea Party!  Nothing 'brewing' as of yet, but we've got lots of time.

In the mean time, I'm collecting sets of cups and saucers in the 'Demi Tasse' or small cup size for that happy day!!  I hope I have granddaughters...with 2 sons and 3 nephews, I just don't know!!

The Pink Demitasse has just a hint of pink on the outside...it looks like it could be a reflection from the pink doily beneath it it's so light...

It has some beautiful flowers inside, just where you can enjoy them while drinking your cup of hot tea (or as I prefer coffee, perhaps a nice hot cup of coffe on a cold morning!).

The pink is so delicate that you can't even tell it's there in this picture, but it is! A very very light pink on the outside rim of this saucer.  So delicate and pretty!

The markings on the bottom reads: Old Ivory, Syracuse China

OPCO made in America

I think the handle looks like a bat wing!

The gold gilt around the edges and on the handle are thick and perfectly painted.

I think I'll rank this one as one of my favorites!  Oh my, now I have a LOT of favorites!

And more to go next week!!!

I'm joining up with these wonderful Tea Parties this week.  Please go by and visit each one and check out all the beautiful blogs that are joining in the parties.

Demi Tasse Tea Finds!

Tiny Teacups and Saucers, pictured on a vintage pink doily that was just perfect for displaying them.

I have seven sets now that I can share with you all!

The first set is from Japan and has hand painted flowers which are many colors.

It has the distinction of being the tiniest one of the whole collection.

The bottom of the cup says "Occupied Japan".  My picture of it was all blurry so I didn't post it.

I will share the rest of the cups in the weeks to come!

I'm joining all the Tea Parties below for a special Tuesday of Teatime Fun!!!

Be sure and follow the links and look and see the beauty shared by some awesome ladies!

Thank you to all the sweet hostesses for all of their time and effort!!

Blessings!!
