Greetings Sweet Bloggie peeps and welcome to another
TEA TIME TUESDAY!
Please see my previous post HERE to enter my most recent GIVEAWAY #7! And if this is your first visit with me you may enjoy reading some of my past Tea Tuesdays :-)TEA TIME TUESDAY!
Today I am sharing with you some more of the pretty china pieces a very dear friend send me to care for! Am I not the luckiest ducky in the pond or what!!
The most charming Paragon Teapot has a delightful wreath of cottage garden flowers ~ roses, iris, tulips, anemonies, asters ~ circling around the upper half and lid. I simply adore it with it's dainty scallops, swirly handle and painted golden touches.
This huge box had me reaching into a Lifetime supply :-) of packing popcorn and gasping out loud as I carefully opened each piece and matched the cups up with the saucers. Eleven exquisite Paragon cup and saucer sets in a rainbow of pastel sherbet shades with rich black! Oh my!
I'll showcase more of them in another tuesday post.
I chose this pretty blue one today with it's Spring tulips and jonquils. How artfully the flowers are arranged in the cup and a sweet little arrangement on the saucer! The flowers base is a transfer design with painted details and all the black is carefully handpainted around everything! The artists must definitely drink decaffinated tea to have such a steady hand ;-)
Isn't it interesting how the design does not lose perspective when looking into the cup - it looks like a plate! The bottom mark is PARAGON ~ By appointment H.M. QUEEN & H.M. QUEEN MARY ~ Fine Bone China ENGLAND Reg
Ahhhh look at this sweet teapot! It is marked TUSCAN Fine Bone China Made In England and has a Crown and Wings motif. It is totally handpainted from the pretty pink posies and minty green leaves right down to all those little gold dots! Wowzers is it gorgeous and I absolutely LOVE it!
I made the trio of tea theme handmades below and along with some more they will be in my Ebay store later today! There's a cute "Pincushion Confection" made from a vintage teacup, rose teacup accent pillow and another featuring a graceful Victorian Harrison Fisher lady enjoying a cuppa!
I am linking up with these fun tea parties today so be sure to stop by each and see these ladies sweet teatime offerings!

Everything is displayed so dreamy and Cottage Chic. All your china pieces are so lovely it almost makes me want to brew up alittle tea.
ReplyDeleteWhat really caught my eye was that 2Die4 teacup~pin cushion. That is just too sweet. As usual, all your crafting projects are created "straight from the heart".
Have a great week
