Garden Tea with Olivia Rose


Music to go with this Irish themed tea :)
Today, March 18th, I had an opportunity to have tea in the garden with Miss Olivia Rose.  I finally got to have that Irish tea I had been longing for (Twinings Irish Breakfast, Irish soda bread with raisins, & Kerrygold butter).

We walked around the garden and commented on what we saw, taking in lovely fragrances, and noting on how awesome God is 
to create such wonder.
Max kept a close eye on us, 
as well as the birdies, 
and really anything that rustled, moved, or made a noise.
Tea for two (Navel or Valencia oranges... I forget which tree is which)

My newly arrived teacup & saucer & 
some fun stationary.
saucer states: Bavaria Schumann Arzberg Germany
Pattern is Florida.  However, since Californians also
grow lots of citrus, I fell in love with this set.
Note that the saucer is #39...

while the cup is #40.  Interesting.

Best of all, the price was only $5.00!!!

I also ordered this sweet "lemons in a teacup" pillow.  It was only
$12 since it is a sample she was trying to clear out.
(my lemon tree is a bit scraggly!)
Olivia's cup & saucer are Duchess fine bone china, made in England. No pattern name is mentioned, but it features oranges, lemons, raspberries & a pear.

Teacup Exchange, Garden Fun, God's Glory

Click Here for lovely music!



 
Happy February Dear Ones!
I found this teacup on Pinterest and thought it so lovely I would share it here!  This is a cup I would enjoy owning ;)
It is so very cheerful.

Here is a pic from my crazy garden.  I do not "actually" garden, but as I have said before, whatever the Lord blesses me with I enjoy and use for photography moments :)
Featured is a sign a client gave me with a lovely sentiment that suits me to a "tea".

This week, I caught the sky ablaze with God's glory.  It took my breath away!! No editing here folks!
 I spotted this unique felted craft on Pinterest.  I have never seen anything like it.  Have you?  This is not something I would attempt, but it's to darling not to share!

And finally, I found this lovely towel at Ross this week, just in time for Valentine's Day.  It came as a TWO PACK for only $5.  One for my bathroom (it's extra soft), and one for the lovely lady who will receive my teacup during the February Teacup Exchange being hosted by Stephanie at The Enchanting Rose (click here) beginning tomorrow! ...happy dance, happy dance!
I have already begun choosing little goodies to go with the teacup!  It will be my first time participating in this fun event!  Are you joining in?
