Tea Cups and Teapots

Alas, I have no pictures. My beautiful bone china tea cups have been gone a long time. They were lovely. Most were blue and white, some were rose, and one of them was yellow. They came from Germany (my mother's best friend was from Germany and had give me my first tea cup and saucer), Canada, Wales (my mother's best friend's husband was from Wales), Ohio and Tennessee.

I have a lovely porcelain tea pot. It is shaped like a little log cabin and is a warm honey-brown with a snow-covered pine tree in front and the cabin has a lovely red door. I don't have a digital camera, my computer is old, and I am bad about taking film in to get developed. Sigh.

I drink my tea these days out of a mug with a handsome Black Labrador Retriever on it. A gift from one of my nephews one Christmas. I like orange pekoe, raspberry, cinnamon.... ummm can't you just smell those teas? It is a comfort to sit with a mug of tea and bird watch out the window or just sit and watch my girls (the cats) snooze in a patch of sunshine.

Thanks for stopping by and having a "spot" of tea with me!
