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.

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.
