Tea Time Tuesday ~ **Blues** ~

Good Morning Tea Friends!

I am so happy to be back and sharing my LOVE of

all things tea!

I am joining my sweet dear friend Sandi over at

Rose Chintz Cottage.

I hope you will stop on by and visit the many other lovely

tea post here on Tuesdays!

Let's get started shall we.

As you enter my foyer you are Welcomed in today

by a pretty blue array of goodies I have on display.

I used this area to backdrop some pretty

hand painted pieces that have ALL been

collected seperately, yet go together so well.

Here's a closer look at what I have on display for you to see.

Below, are the pieces I am showcasing today!

A lovely *new* flow blue teapot given to me by a dear friend.

A tea cup, saucer, creamer and sweet lil sugar dish...all

done up in similar hand painted cobalt blues and deep

burgandy red roses.

All four of these pieces were picked up a different places.

I do believe the creamer was the first piece I had and the

rest came later.

Isn't the inside of this cup pretty...and then the

saucers adds a pretty trim as you look down on it.

Side by side, you can see they are not a matching set,

yet I do believe they work so well together.

The teacup is so very delicate.

I know very little about these but do

remember reading that these were the rage

during the turn of the 1900's?

I'd really love to know more if anyone has more

information.

I am guessing that the small bowl I use to put sugar

cubes in looks more like it is from Japan.

Yet again, it goes so well with the creamer.

Well, there you have my sweet little collection of these

lovely blue pieces.  Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I hope I can get out and visit the many

tea loving participants today!

Be Blessed!
