But, you know what? I think I might just keep this one for myself! I have what has turned into a tea set collection (more on those another time!) and this little one will fit in just right. Plus, I use fruit in my dining room decor, and the colors in this tea set are perfect!! I even have two different placemat sets that blend right in! So I'm declaring it a keeper!!
I'm using it in my fall decorations which will stay up through Thanksgiving. I've got a bit of Halloween up for Miss Noli's delight and will add in some Thanksgiving as that holiday nears.
Don't you love that pineapple doily? I found it somewhere long ago -- someone had tea dyed it and I think it looks just perfect with my tea set!
Close-up of the design -- it is hand painted and on the sticker you can just barely make out the word Japan and something else that I'll have to get out a magnifying glass to even pretend to see. I'll have to do a little investigating as to its origins.
Did you notice these goblets? They are another favorite thing! A very, very special favorite thing! They belonged to my grandmother, and I think I will tell you about them another time -- maybe next week!
Oh, and guess what!!
Peanut Bird was featured this week on A Favorite Thing Saturday!!! He was my entry for that fun party last Saturday (read all about him here....) and sweet Claudia gave him a little feature time! Oh my, Peanut Bird was just beside himself when I told him, and is now insisting that the trail mix jar goes to another shelf so that he gets top billing. Silly Peanut Bird.
♥♥♥ Linking my fall tea set over at Claudia's for A Favorite Thing Saturday,
and on Pink Saturday at How Sweet the Sound 'cause we're showing fall stuff there!!

Very pretty set, and congrats to the Peanut Bird!

ReplyDeletePeanut Bird deserved the spotlight! I love your pretty tea set. Handpainted china is so lovely and I especially love the fall-like colors of that set. They sure go with your pretty goblets!

The tea set is definitely a keeper. Wouldn't a spicy cinnamon tea be lovely served in that beautiful pot. I'm looking forward to learning about the goblets (carnival glass?)
ReplyDeleteHow fabulous! Happy pink Saturday!

What fun! That is a beautiful tea set! How neat that you have goblets from your grandmother - looking forward to the story! Lovely doiley, too. =)
ReplyDeleteI collected tea sets over the years too but now they are unfortunately scattered to the wind. This one looks large enough to hold coffee! Nice if you have the room to store collections like this... [:-D
ReplyDeleteA very pretty set but I do LOVE the color of those goblets. I found a vintage candle holder in the same color yesterday at a thrift store. It was just a single but I have to have it. :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read about the Goblets now :)

That tea set is so pretty, Susan. And it is perfect for this time of year when fruit is so abundant. Such pretty colors, too. I hope you enjoy your new treasure!
ReplyDeleteThat is a STUNNING tea set, I think it's good to have some of our treasures be keepers, we can't always be just finders, right??!!
