It's a Valentine's Day tea party at Sandi's
for Tea Time Tuesday
I am using my vintage Spode Maritime Rose cups and saucers
and dessert plates and a Minton creamer and my
thrifty find teapot.
I love the delicate periwinkle blue and the raised relief white flowers
on these dishes. The saucer has a beautiful rose in the center
and the teacup has a rose inside.
I named these two porcelain figures Sir Jonathen and Susanna after two relatives
from the 1600's in our family tree!

I baked a batch of heart shaped sugar cookies this morning
for our special tea time.
Do you see the garland hanging on my china cupboard?
I made that last week from paper heart doilies,
crocheted round doilies, clothespins with flower stickers,
twine and ribbons.

Thank you for joining me for a special
Valentine Tea Party today.
I hope you'll join Sandi for the celebration at
Rose Chintz Cottage.

What a lovely tea party this is! I think your teaset is really pretty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table...darling garland...yummy looking cookies...and sweet vintage graphics.
ReplyDeleteYour tea cups are so pretty and that rose is almost surprising because everything else is so soft blue and white. Very nice indeed.
Such pretty teacups! And I like your simple heart hanging--the doilie! The cookies look good too. Beautiful!

Hi Pamela,
ReplyDeleteyour tea cups are heavenly romantic. This soft blue and the dainty rose are a great combination. How nice you have set the table. The garland from paper and doilies are cute. And the adorned clothespins are congenial. Thank you for sharing all your good ideas.
Best greetings, Johanna

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tea, Pamela! Your china tea set is so pretty. I love the heart banner you made -- very festive!
ReplyDeleteI just love your blue teacups and those cookies look so good.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! What a lovely tea party - and aren't we all lucky to ve invited!
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with that beautiful china pattern - but it is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove the tablescape Pamela, and the vignette with the wooden box.....but that bunting you crafted is the winner here, what a lovely addition to your dresser. The alstromeria are the perfect color with your china too.
Valentine's Day will be special at your house - can you hold off eating the pretty cookies for another week!!?
Hugs - Mary

ReplyDeleteI've never seen the Maritime Spode before. How appropriate that you should have the set! The periwinkle blue is lovely and unusual.
Please save a place for me on Valentine's Day!
Lovely setting! I wonder why they are "Maritime" rose? Things to wonder about whilst drinking tea.
ReplyDeleteYour garland is the best heart one I have seen yet this year.
Oh... I love your dishes.. Everything looks beautiful..
ReplyDeleteI bet the cookies taste great, too...
Blessings..
I love those dishes. I've seen them before and have lusted after them -- they are perfect for Valentines!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful table for St. Valentines Day. Love to have tea with that beautiful vintage china. I adore your garland of hearts. Happy St. Valentines Day! Pat
ReplyDeleteYour dishes are such a lovely shade of blue... I saw that colour in the lupines on PEI last summer... Gorgeous .... The table setting is so inviting... I really wanted to nibble on one of those sugar cookies ( ha Ha) ... Hugs
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely table setting for tea! Love your china, it's such a beautiful color. And I can just taste the cookies...yum!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table and I love all your special touches. I doubt I will be decorating for Valentine's Day since all I want to do is sleep! Housebreaking a little puppy has not been fun! Enjoy your week!

Pamela, It was a wonderful coincidence to see the Spode Martime Rose cups and saucers in your post. I also have this pattern and really have loved it for a long time! You have a great thrifted rose teapot! I see in your profile you have one daughter, while I have one son! I also enjoy thrifting, antiquing and a good sale. Thank you for visiting my blog and your kind comments. Happy Tea Party! Pam
