The best part for me is that this set belonged to our pastors-
I did not even know this when I purchased it!
Imagine my delight!
This was an "I love you" gift from my Mama
that arrived in the mail one day as a surprise!
Tea Pot & Depression Glass...
See that tiny little ceramic cow next to the teacup?
That was the first present my husband (not my husband then)
gave to me. I collected cows and loved brownies!
So my romantic darling topped a rocky-road brownie with this cow!
I was head over heels...and 21 years later...I still get butterflies!
I purchased this on ebay many years ago...
My tea room...a sanctuary...a place to relax...
The gathering place for many parties...
A glorious place to read and enjoy a cup of tea...

Lovely post. I especially like the set your Mum sent you. Thank you for the recipe. We have been looking for a good recipe to convert to gluten free. Take care.
ReplyDeleteConcetta, Your china cabinet is beautiful and I can see many pretties inside! Your teacups are very pretty and so is the little teaset your mother sent to you. You also have many delicious-looking items on your sidebar. I think you are a faabulous cook and that you accomplish your goal of making a home warm and inviting! ~ Beth p.s. The rose china is fabulous and special!
