30th Teapot And Tea Things Tuesday:



Welcome to the,

30th 'Teapot And Tea Things Tuesday'




GRACE
For each new morning with its light,

For rest and shelter of the night,

For health and food, for love and friends,

For everything Thy goodness sends.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson



HAPPY THANKSGIVING !
TO OUR NEIGHBOURS TO THE SOUTH.

Every day is the right day to give thanks and appreciate all that God has blessed us with. Until we see how blessed we are, how can we have gratitude for more?







My mother's dishes, bought 50 years ago.
Always used for every celebration.

                     They are small.  Take two!!



The coffee pot.
We never had a matching teapot, and rarely used this for coffee.
Would you use it for tea??

I love my swan and try to give it a presence and a purpose.
Whip cream with your cake?












Your place is set and awaiting you

  10. Your dishes are just beautiful. I would LOVE some like them.

    And I would definitely use that great coffee pot for tea. Why not? Of course, I'd use it for coffee too since coffee is my favorite beverage.
