Tea and Roses.
Who can resist?
I couldn't when I found this lovely tea cup at The Guild Shop
(a cross between Antiques Roadshow and Grandma's attic).
It is a pale bluish grey with a gold edge on the saucer, gold rim on the cup,
and a splash of gold on the handle.
and a splash of gold on the handle.
The saucer is lightly fluted as is the hour-glass shaped cup.
The cup has a small pedestal base.
Look at the little rose on the inside of the cup.
Perfect (or purrrfect as Teddy and Cassie would say)!
The bottom of both the cup and saucer are marked:
Elizabethan Fine Bone China England.

The rose is from my balcony garden.
I'm having Rose Petal Tea by The Republic of Tea.
It is a limited edition tea that was available during February for Valentine's Day.
Rose Petal Tea is tea for the Queen of Hearts!
Black tea leaves blended with rose buds and petals ... a very pretty tea.

Tea inspires celebration.

beyond the bliss of dreams."
