Today...
I was lucky to enjoy my best friend's company for tea!
My sweet husband is home on vacation
so it was tea for two!
Yes he has a name, it's Mike.
I think he might be tired of being called my sweet husband :-)
(click photos to enlarge)
So nothing fancy...
just the little table in the front parlor again.
I kept the fru fru to a minimum
and lured him in with sweets!
These Teacups were my Grandmothers.
Part of a complete china set.
The flowers look like wild flowers to me,
and since we just took a little trip
to see the wildflowers in the Cascades,
I thought they were an appropriate choice.
Here is the bottom...
Fine Bohemian China
Czechoslovakia
Yummy...
The bait...
Raspberry Kolacky cookies.
(Czechoslovakian cookies)
I bought at the bakery... it's vacation!
Some flowers...
I made a little bouquet with one of my favorite roses,
April in Paris.
They are not really happy about our bad weather...
but they smell fantastic!
and..
More rain today... so
more garden centers.
Where I found this gorgeous Tree Peony.
She has no name,
and her blooms are a little past their peak,
But.. I got a 30% discount!
And she makes my heart pitter patter,
and thats what is all about :-)
Today I am joining
a bunch of great groups!

How wonderful to have your Grandmother's Teacups with a set of China! Lucky You! They are so pretty! I love the the touch of flowers in the stemware? Vase! I too love Peonies!

Hello Bella: How wonderful to enjoy such a beautiful spread with the man you love. I am happy for you and delighted you have sharing such a wonderful moment with us. Have a great week. Blessings, Martha
How sweet and I'll have to try that kind of lure myself. :)
Your teacups are beautiful and how nice they come with love and family heritage attached.
Lucky you to be able to lure your hubby in to share with you - mine would come for the trats but insist on coffee.
Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
Penny
Hi Bella!
What a sweet post and beautiful photos! It especially warms my heart because my Grandmother was Czechoslovakian aka Bohemian and made the best homemade Kolackies! My favorite would have been raspberry but she didnt make that flavor but always apricot, cherry, and poppyseed. Yummers!
Your flowers are gorgous too and thanks for giving me some warm memories!!
Lynn

Love that tea set. It's so beautiful. I'll bet Mike loved the attention, too.
I think you set a very lovely table.
I am glad you told us about the china, I was notice the pretty floral pattern on it.
Hi Bella,
A lovely teatime for two! Your grandmother's china is just lovely and it does remind me of a field of wild flowers! The Kolacky cookies look delicious! I am in love with your tea pot; very pretty with its rose top! Thanks for sharing and I would be honoured to have you join my tea party too sometime. Wishing you a beautiful day.
Blessings,
Sandi

Bella, so wonderful that your tea was sweetened with your sweetie being there! I just came home from vacation with my hubby and we had a fabulous time.
Your tea cups are very pretty. Thank you for sharing with us for Tea Cup Tuesday today.
Hugs,

The lovely wild flower tea cups are so special and thanks for the lovely treats!!Raspberry Kolacky cookies~ Did you make them? Do share the recipe if you did. So yummy!
All my best, Theresa
Really pretty all what you show us...The tea cups are lovely.Thanks for your visit .
Love
Those cups are adorable. And I like your new peony too.
Oh how beautiful. I love the pattern on your cups, they are so dainty and so pretty. Your scones look fabulous and I am so hungry now. What a wonderfully inviting setting with the pretty flowers. Gorgeous. Thanks so much for joining the party. Hugs, Marty
What a lovely display and the cookies are easy to make - I have a recipe on my blog! They all look so inviting!
Bella, you really must stop shopping when it's raining. If you have a summer like we did last year where it rained @ every third day, you're going to run out of garden space. :-)
Love the tea, your china pattern and the treats but the word 'lure' really stands out.
There is no way ever my husband would drink from a fancy cup and saucer like that.
Hope you're both enjoying your holiday at home.
Judith
Hello Bella- Your "nothing fancy" is lovely. I believe in simple elegance; and this absolutely qualifies as elegant. Take care :)
