Favorite Teacups on my Cake Stand!

I just can't pick one, or even two to call my favorites....and in fact I have others that I would describe as some of my favorites, but they won't all fit on the cake stand!!

These are the 4 I chose (some because of size) to have this special place of honor in my house.

And the cake stand? Well, it's a present from one of my dear friends. She made my wedding cake for my wedding, and this was the stand she used and gave as a gift to us. I love it because I love her!

Delicate roses on a Bavarian cup and saucer,

colorful flowers surrounding the saucer and inner rim of this set,

pale, pale pink cup and saucer with a spray of beauty for the eye as you sip,

and heavily guilded edges with lovely sprays of blooms to complete the arrangement.

Hmmm, I notice that it's missing something....

Perhaps a small posy in the middle of the 4 cups and saucers would complete it.

This blue and white doily is one that I made last year by copying one I found at a sale somewhere!

I love it and it goes well in my kitchen.

Well, I hope you liked my contribution to the Tea Parties this week.

I'm joining in a few of them, listed below.

And don't forget this Thursday is Pearls and Lace Thursday.

Hope to see you there!

Now go ahead and check out all the parties linked below!!!

Have a blessed week!

Simply Dogwood, Must Mean Spring is Close!

I know. It's January. So? Can't I hope?

Can't I dream? Can't I go ahead and at least look at some flowers on the teacups and in pictures?

If I don't get a dose of flowers every now and then, I think I'll just dry up.

They seem to always be what calms and soothes. They're restful.

And they're just plain beautiful.

Maybe that's why flowers are the main embellishment used by artist's on so many china and porcelain objects!

OK. So it's January, but who doesn't want Spring to go ahead and be here?

I'm joining the parties below for all the Tea Funnery!!

Come and join us!!

Blessings, Doni

Hope I Can Remember How to Post!!!

I've been sick for weeks and the computer room has been so cold, I dared not even try to do a blog post lately, but now I'm better and the temp's are lower, I feel more energetic and hopefully I'll be able to get back into the swing of things!

AND, I had a birthday yesterday that was awesome!

My wonderful hubby! He's so sweet. And generous. We had a great day!

I'm going to share a teacup that I've had for a while. During last summer and fall I hit a lot of yard sales as well as ebay shops, and found some lovely items!

This one is just so pretty. Make in Germany, it's colors are wonderful, and I love the colors as well as the cut work at the base of the cup. Fancy handles make the whole thing frilly looking, and the scallops all around give it a very feminine feel as well.

I'm joining up with the parties listed below! Please pop over and see all the lovely teacups that everyone else has to share!

Also, please come back on Thursday for Pearls and Lace Thursday. I have a winner for my last Giveaway!!
