springtime tea

The calendar says spring is to arrive on Wednesday and even though it may be a snow storm that day we can't change the fact that the season of spring will be here.

So today I'm celebrating with Sandi of Rose Chintz Cottage and her Savour the Moment Springtime Tea just to get us all in the mood for what we might expect with spring weather in the, hopefully,  near future.

The teacups I've chosen today are all Royal Albert as is the small bowl full of candy eggs.

Spring is all about new growth - green grass, trees and shrubs in blossom, flowers blooming and birds nesting ~ new life.

The pale yellow table cloth and matching napkins are vintage.  They are a card table set I believe and I don't think the napkins were ever used.  They've been folded like this for decades.  My mother used to have bridge parties and I suppose this is from that era of the 50's/60's.  The cloth is embroidered with pink and yellow roses and a pretty green stitching along the edges.  It's one of my favourite sets.

The teapot is a thrift store find.

The bunny pitcher and green cabbage leaf plate are from Winners.

{those pink carnations are still hanging in!}

We'll have some Earl Grey tea and fresh-from-the-oven chocolate chip cookies.

I love the soft pastels of spring.

The pale pink serving plate under the green one is a vintage

pink depression glass called Daisy.

As you can see it's a bright sunny day outside but it's very cold and windy ~ as in -6 Celsius or 20 F cold.

I hope you will visit Sandi for her Tea Time Tuesday party ~

Blessings for a Beautiful Spring,
