This Ruby Tea has nothing to do with
grapefruits or colors.
It has to do with my Grandmother Ruby,
who was the painter of my cup and saucer today:-)
(click photos to enlarge)
I thought today we would set tea up under the Pussy Willow,
and enjoy the dappled sunlight streaming in...
A simple tea on a little tray..
set on the edge of the rockery wall,
I brought along a pillow for comfort:-)
Here is the mix match cup and saucer my Grandmother painted,
She loved to paint china,
and she loved to paint roses!
I thought the teacup paired nicely
with a snip of my Ballerina Rose
She even painted this sweet bud inside the cup...
The little saucer with a Nancy Reagan Rose...
A tiny saucer of fruit..
thinly sliced Nectarines and blueberries
A better look at the Nancy Reagan Rose.
Her vase is a vintage Vaseline bottle,
which has turned to purple sunglass.
Today I am joining several Tea Parties!
Won't you join in?

Bella, what a lovely keepsake from your grandmother! She must have been quite the artist! Lovely setting and lovely memories of a special lady. Have a beautiful day.

I wonder if painting on china cups would ever come back into fashion? Your grandmother made her cup so pretty and what a treasure to have.
Tea in dappled shade today was peaceful and the Nancy Reagan rose is as beautiful as the lady herself.

Your grandmothers hand painted plates are just too pretty to cover up. Beautiful.
Bella - I always love visiting your blog. It's so warm, calming, and comforting. And your photos are so beautiful. How wonderful that you still have that treasured china from your grandmother. She was one talented lady. Such beautiful artistry! And I love the vintage Vaseline jar. You just don't see many of those any more....
Soooo pretty, Bella!

Hi: I always love to visit your site. It is so refreshing. I love your tea cup. I also like the new look on your blog. Everything is so pretty. Thank you so much for sharing your home and your tea cups with us. Have a wonderful week. Blessings to you, Martha
so so inviting. pristine and clea, light and airy yet with a touch of sin in those pastries. let's live it up in the garden.
Beautiful! Tea under the willows with blueberries to eat, blush roses perfuming the air and crocheted pillows to sit upon. What could be more perfect?
You've devised a lovely and delightful tea setting with your grandma's handpainted teacup and saucer!
