Tea and Flowers

Do you Rue La La?
I do a lot of window shopping there.
Every now and then I find something I really La-La over!


rose



DD (dear daughter) spoiled me during her father's illness.
After his passing, she made sure I had flowers for Valentine's Day.


Tea and Roses Mosaic


She knows how much I like Tracy Porter.



Tea and Roses Mosaic



I love Porter's color combinations and wild and crazy designs.
DD found this tea set: teapot, sugar and creamer on Rue La La.
Each piece is a little sculpture.

And, now it lives with me!
It is from the Vivre Collection.

Beautiful tea and flowers ... good for the soul.

Edit: My back has gone on the fritz and I can't sit for very long.
My apologies to all of you for not visiting and I'll try to catch up another day.
Wishing you well and good backs!!!

Snap,
I hope you are finding peace and healing. I really love the roses; so very pretty-I can smell the fragrance....ahhhh!
What an interesting pattern on the teapot. I wouldn't have put brown with teal, but its quite striking.
thanks for sharing...
Blessings to you!

What a gorgeous, gorgeous post. I love that teapot too, it looks so whimsical, like it is getting ready to burst into song alongside Belle in Beauty and the Beast. I love the way you photographed your flowers too.
