TEA-A-THON-decorating with TEA THEME

If you haven't been over to Gracious Hospitality for "tea", check it out. Link is on a previous post.

This teapot, cream, and sugar were given to me by my Mom, who received it as a wedding gift 71 years ago. I remember it displayed in Mom's antique china cabinet, but I don't recall if she ever actually used it for tea! I have carried on her tradition and only use them as a decorative item. Mom still lives in her own house, and has several other wedding gifts which she uses for special occasions.

What a treasure! Thanks for sharing!
That is one of the most beautiful tea sets I've ever seen! Lucky you for getting it passed down from your mother.

What a precious tea set, it's so beautiful. I'm sure you have many wonderful memories growing up seeing your Mother display such a beautiful set. I look forward to reading over your blog home some more. Thank you for stopping by for a visit, have a wonderful day!

Oh! How lovely! And so special, too, since it was a wedding gift for your parents ~one special enough to keep all these years! I love the piece of linen under it, as well. It's so fine and beautiful. Thank you for sharing this picture and story with us on the blog-a-thon.
May you have a delightful week!

That has to be the most beautiful tea set I've ever seen. I love the spider web motif. The Victorians considered spider webs to be lucky. Thank you for sharing.
