Welcome to my Fall Tea.
Enjoying a cup of Twining's Irish Breakfast Tea with thin slices of moist fruit cake.
I have it set up on an antique small desk with one of my first quilt pieced works from 1985 called Falling Leaves.
Think here it works for a cool Fall day cup of tea.
Here is a close up of the 'Blessing' that is on a few of the different serving pieces.
I have been collecting this pattern for 30 yrs.
I love the simple look of it. On each piece is a different scene or item on the Colonial Homestead inside a log home.
When I found this teapot I felt like I had found GOLD!!!! It is a true treasure to me anyway.
I have plenty to use all plates and such for the big Christmas open house we have every year.
The green just seems to say Christmas when I pair it with red.
As you can see though it too goes well with Fall colors as well.

Hope you are inside by the fire enjoying a cup of warm tea on this gray Fall day.. at least that is what is outside my window here in my part of Virgina!

Oh, would I love to see that table set for Christmas. I hope you will share that with us.
ReplyDeleteYou won't believe this, but I bought two of those plates, dinner size at a Thrift shop and broke them up for a mosaic on a stepping stone. I will tread more softly on that step in the future.
Really pretty fall setting for tea! Imagine it's beautiful with red at Christmas too. Be sure to post a picture when you use it during the Christmas season!

I love Twinning's Irish Breakfast tea and your green china is gorgeous. I love the teapot especially. I've been enjoying my fav tea: Assam of late...great minds....
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely collection of green china you have Lola. I've never seen this pattern before. It's very charming and adds such a coziness to your tea table. If I ever see a piece during my antiquing jaunts, I will surely think of you when I do.
