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.

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

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.

Decorating for Thanksgiving 2020

 Our Canadian Thanksgiving is in one week. Due to COVID, we won't be having a Thanksgiving family dinner this year, but I did some decorating anyway. This Thanksgiving will be different in another way also, as one of our Grandsons is getting married during the same weekend. Due to our Provincial rules, they are only allowed 10 guests The wedding will be held in his parents' back yard so another 10 of us will be seated in the yard next door to see the ceremony.+ It has been almost 2 years since I  last posted. Sometimes life events get in the way!
