Softness of Pink


Once again it is time for tea. Please join me as I have a few new things to share with you.
 
A vintage teacup and saucer marked Made in Japan.  Blue luster glaze on porcelain decorated with gold trim and pink roses.

 
This was a wonderful find for a mere 50 cents  :-)
 
 
Paper crafting continues in my house - actually when does it ever really stop ... lol!

 
These adorable tea bag holders were created using a digital download by Vectoria Designs


 I added bows, pearls and cute little spoons for some pizazz.  What do you think? 

 
 
My hydrangea bush bloomed her heart out for me!  'Endless Summer' has done very well in my garden.
 
 
A beautiful soft pink color with touches of blue.  A color dictated by the pH levels of my soil.

 
Thank you for sipping tea with me. 
 
Today I am joining ...

Love your teacup. Pink is always a favorite of mine. The pink hydrangea goes so good next to it.

Your teacup is very pretty, and I love the tea holders you made. Super cute! Your hydrangeas are lovely. My Endless Summers didn't have a lot of blooms this year; I think last year's drought is the reason. Hoping for more blooms next year.
Hugs, Beth

Wow, what a fabulous teacup and saucer for it is so delicate with the blue glaze and sweet pattern. You were so fortunate to find it and the the price was wonderful. The darling paper teabag covers are just the best addition. You are so creative!

Your cup was a lovely bargain! I also have Endless Summer hydrangea, in pink due to our soil also...a favorite of mine.

That digital download is terrific! I adore that tiny spoon. It's amazing. And your teacup and saucer? What a great find for 50 cents!
Love the hydrangea - on the bush and dried. Love, love, love 'em!
Have a wonderful day, Donna.

Your tea cup is so lovely, Donna! I love the colors and the scalloped edge of the little saucer. Your teabag envelopes are just darling. What a fun idea! Beautiful hydrangea's too. Mine are always blue because of my acid soil. I love the pink. Enjoy these last days of summer! xoxo
