Tea Cup Tuesday-Rose Beauty

Hello All!

Welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday with Martha, and myself. 

It is a stormy week here...

Heavy clouds that make it look like evening instead of morning

have been hanging around all day, with some impressive displays 

of torrential rain.

I enjoy it all very much.

I chose this beautiful rose tea cup to honor the roses
 that have just bloomed in my garden this week. 

They smell divine! 

I even have some peonies that smell just as heavenly.

 I love the unique shape of the cup. 

This is one of my few trio sets. 

This cup has gorgeous roses strewn all over it. 

The colors are so intense.

The handle reminds me of an elf ear...

or at least the elf ears depicted in stories and movies. 

I apologize to any elves I may offend with this statement!

....a piece of art really....

This beauty was made by Hammersley as it shows in this backstamp.

George Harris Hammersley shared in a china co begining in the late 1800s.

Spode eventually bought Hammersley, and they no longer use this name.

We can also see from this stamp that the pattern name is 

Morgans Rose.

I love it when the name is on the bottom : )

Last T.T. I shared that I decided to create a space in my garden to have tea

after being inspired by a image on Pinterest.
It is a big project, and I thought I might share my progress with you all.

Which was a good reason for Martha and I to host a special blog hop!
If you too have been wanting to create an outdoor tea space maybe now is the time?

Many of you have already shared that you too will be sharing your own 

My Garden Tea!

Yay!

Martha and I am excited to share our garden tea with as many of you as can join in.

Go HERE to see the post with details and my inspiration photo!

This week has been fun as I have set a low budget to do this...

Here is my progress so far.

I found this table and chair very cheaply at a Goodwill.

The table was stinky....phew!

Didn't realize that till I was driving home in the car! lol!

 And one more chair...for my daughter.

This one has lovely detail and a soft seat.

Two different styles, but I like it that way. 

I decided on chalk paint,

I didn't realize there is no need to sand. 

My hubby did take this one apart and fixed her broken areas well.

Now it is stronger than ever!
Yay!

First coat of paint was Old White

and the second Louie Blue

both by Annie Sloan.

I will be sharing more pics of the outcome soon.

The table is close to being done as well. 

I am thinking of the tent...and still needing a brilliant idea!

I am also contemplating the look of the tablescape...

Pinks?  Blues? Chintz? 

I hope you are all well and enjoying this week,

Thank you very much for stopping by for a visit!

Hugs,

Terri
