Vintage Tea Party Treasures

Oh, I love Tea Parties!
Big Ones~
and
Little Ones~


"The tea party is a spa for the soul. 
You leave your cares and work behind. 
Busy people forget their business. 
Your stress melts away, your senses awaken . . ." 
Alexandra Stoddard 

 How I love my little antique tea service pieces

Thinking this may be a place for a tea party~

 


I just had a quick minute to share a few of my little treasures. 

(You know I have a list a mile long, should not be out and about with my blogging friends. 
(Oh well, this is more fun!)
 
I'm joining some sweet friends who are having parties this week, won't you join us?

    If I come for tea...may I drink from the one with violets or are they just for "looking at" cups? Lovely...all of them!

    P.S. And would you play something pretty on that gorgeous piano?

    What pretty tea things! You know, I have the twin of the silver bowl in which your tulips are displayed. I love it, and use it every season, as it was a trophy won by my late father-in-law.
