Oh that looks lovely! Is your chair an antique? Down cushion? And I recog your cup..British Castles??
Very pretty Jane..
The sun will come out, tomorrow! I hope..

Oh, that Kathleen. She thinks she has such a great voice.
I can sing as well as she.
Here goes . .
I'm a little tea pot, short and stout.
Here is my handle. Here is my spout.

See. Pretty good, aren't I?

Jane,
As cold as it is here this morning all 4 of your teas suits me to a "Tea"! I also love blue & white. But, pink is fast becoming a favorite. Those cookies look delectable. Are they lavender?
I love the little table beside your chair in the bedroom. I would be tempted to sit there all day and enjoy the strong spring "greens" that the spring rains bring. My favorite time of the year.

Oh, sorry. I got so taken with the sound of my own voice, I forgot to comment on the setting.
The teapot you show here is my favorite of the four, although I like the totally different Art Deco look to No 3 as well. I have a piece of crocheted work that looks exactly like the one you used here. It may be a little smaller, can't tell, but for sure it's a lot less white. More on the yellow side!

Your house looks so nice and the little glimpse we get of your yard looks very inviting (rain or no rain). Enjoy the Family this weekend. Then curl up with your book and a hot cup of tea.

Ahhhhhh Jane, don't stop now!!! All of your pictures have been so lovely, and I have really enjoyed the Tea! I've been sick for a week and my neighbor brought me Eucalyptus tea and honey to sweeten it with....instant bliss!!
Thank you so much for your time and energy to post these lovely settings!

PS: On Sunday DH took me for a ride, and lo and behold in the middle of Texas, we came across a little farmstead that was hilly sort of and looked exactly like CN. I thought longingly about you and your lovely place. I even rolled down the window to see if it "smelled" like Conn country side. Since we have had an uncharacteristic amount of rain, it really did smell great too. ;^)

Jane,

I had a great time looking at your posts tonight so thanks much for sharing with all of us. Your a talented lady and I'm sure others love to come join you for tea.

Kathleen and Oldalgebra thanks for the entertainment from the two of you here tonight also. Made my night and now I need to get ready for bed. What a fun bunch you are! Punk

I am sorry "Tea Time" is over but have so enjoyed the 4 tea parties you shared with us! This one seems so peaceful and offers a great place to pause and reflect over a "spot of tea". I really like this teapot. What a lovely home you have and thanks for inviting us in during these rainy days!

I ditto all of the above posts!!!!!

I bought a set of the British Castle dishes at an estate sale and I promise you mine are more red than pink. When I ordered additional pieces from an ebay dealer they indeed did come several shades lighter in a pinker tone. I accessorize my place settings with muted reds and it works. Have you heard of this?

susie

Susie, yes the British Castle dishes have a tendency to be all different colors of red/pink, as do the other "red" and white transferware patterns. I don't have a clue why they are not uniform, but I have dozens (probably hundreds) of pieces of all different patterns/manufacturers, and they are rarely the same color! I just put them all on the table, and I doubt if anyone ever notices :^).

Jane,
All your tea party pics are wonderful! I enjoyed seeing all your lovely teapots and the dutch girl is gorgeous. The blue and white was my fav but all of your settings are perfect to relax in.

So sorry this is such a late reply...I was laying low in bed most of the day, I pulled my back out gardening..I was trying to log on to this site with my laptop. For some reason, it just would not go thru...Soo, finally tonight, I went and used my desktop.

Thank you for all the nice compliments on my 'Tea Parties'..
I had fun setting them up and glad you enjoyed them..Wish you were ALL here to really have some with me.

kathleen, that chair in the BR was my Aunt's. It is quite old and does have a down seat - you are an 'Eagle Eye'. I also have another chair of hers - a Ladder Back Armchair..that I love.

OA... I agree, that Blue Tea Set is large in size. Enjoyed your singing!! - You are quite good!! lol

Susie... Those cookies sound sooo good.. Let's make a date and I'll put on another pot!! Also I agree with jaybird on the Pink/Red Castles. I've seen them running in different shades from light to dark too. I like the lighter ones.

jaybird...I hope your feeling better. How nice of DH to take you for that ride. I had to laugh over you imagining CT after seeing some hills and smelling the air after the rain!! I'ts not easy being homesick.

Betty...My first love has always been Blue & White...I know what you mean about 'Pink' growing on you ... me too!

Punk... I think the most fun shopping I do, is at Estate & Tag Sales...not to mention the great bargains. Glad you enjoyed my tea parties.

DD...I can understand you wanting to have a Dutch Girl because of your Dad.. I hope one comes your way one day.
I love her..she's so different and I just love her vintage look too.

Mo..glad you enjoyed the Blue & White setting... My all time favorite too.

Thanks again all. I really had fun.
jane

I'm late getting to see all of your posts, but we are finally at our destination in Missouri and the WIFI here is working great so now I can catch up on things on here..

All of your teas were fabulous, and your home is so lovely. How fortunate you are to have keepsakes from your Aunt, I'm sure you really enjoy sitting here reading your book, sipping your tea, and glancing out at the beauty outside as well.

Thanks for sharing all these pics with us, they were beautiful and enjoyed so much.

Luvs

I just grabbed a moment to catch my breath, while the GKids are all watching 'Sponge Bob' !!
Good to hear from you Luvs...glad you had a safe trip to your destination. I'm sure the family is all trying to decide who gets what, on your lovely signs !
Thanks for your sweet compliments, and so glad you enjoyed
'My Tea Time'.. settings. I had fun doing it.
Enjoy your stay...and safe trip home.

jane

Looks great! Very inviting spot! That chair looks really comfy.

I'm really, REALLY, late to the tea party. But just had to comment now anyway. I'd love to settle down right into the photo. The gorgeous chair, table, tea setting, book of poetry, view out the window, RAIN. Gosh, I'd never leave!!

hugs, Karen
