PINK ROSE BROCADE DAMASK FABRIC
I recently came across some fabric
which was not new but had never
been used and with 3 1/2 yards I
was thrilled to get this pink rose
brocade damask. It reminded me
of the type of fabric ladies sewed
with in the 50's.
some "rose" themed tea wares
to display.
a runner for the buffet and have
fabric for tea cozies.

tea cozy.
I realized - of tea wares with images
of roses.

and large size

WHEN THE IRISES BLOOM for "Tea In The Garden"
Today I glanced out the living area
windows and thought "Oh my goodness,
I better get there now". The irises were
in full bloom and actually many are
yet to bloom and I thought I better
get my camera and get going.
and now the sunshine was out.
happy now that spring
has come. We still have
some tulips but have said
goodbye to the daffodils.
some pansy items and a vintage
pansy topper. There are so many
themes of flowers that can be
collected on tea wares. What do
you collect? I do pansies, violets
and roses.
pansy English cups and
saucers:
little bell shaped
columbines in our
garden.
I gave away boxes of irises on our
driveway these last several years to
anyone who wanted them and yet I
see they just make more and more.
Before we left Colorado 8 years ago, I went out in the snow and dug up a
few of the tubers (yellow ones) and look
at them now. I am sure the lady who
gave me some tubers in Colorado
would be shocked how they have multiplied.

Happy Springtime!

PANSY TIME IS HERE
We have been enjoying all the spring
flowers this year and certainly pansies
are always a special delight so it was
time for a pansy themed table
setting.
A pansy tea cozy was needed
for the table. This one is made
from an old table runner. I
wonder who embroidered this old
piece?
as pretty as the
front.
I can only imagine the hours
spent on embroidery after
watching my Grandmother
sitting in her chair working
away. Back in the 70's she gave me
the ice tea glasses on the table
which were from the 50's.
Crown Dorset from England. The pansy
teapot in the center below is a
Crown Dorset also.
actually I have more of those
pieces collected.
skills and patience of those who
left them behind for us to enjoy.
is a succession of how the bulbs
bloom and flowers arrive but
truly everyone loves the
arrival of pansies.
