Hello All!
Welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday!
December is well on her way,
We've had some chilly weather,
and some good tea this month : )
As many of you do,
I find it a joy to use special dishes during the holidays.
This wonderful thistle pattern set
I found while out thrifting with my mother in law,
who also loves to find treasures : )
Thistle patterns can be so pretty!
This coloring here reminds me of the subtle
colors of winter.
My tea today is a mix of herbs,
Peppermint, rose buds, lavender,
chamomile, lemon verbena... and more.
Simple handle with a single silver detail.
The background is a nice creamy white coloring.
The salad plates are oval shaped,
which I really do love about them.
The backstamp lets us know this is a
Johnson Brother's tea cup.
This company has created beautiful
earthenware in many well loved patterns.

Hello Terri,
Your JB Thistle teacup and matching pieces are so pretty for this time of year. I love your little bleached trees too! I am bleaching some myself these days. Your candle in the background is just beautiful and lends a lovely glow to your setting. Thank you for sharing this with my special Christmas Tea and thank you for hosting. Have a splendid week, my friend.
Christmas blessings,
Sandi
I love thistle patterns too, and I love the brush trees! So cute! I haven't heard of Tin Roof teas before...is it local from your area? Sounds intriguing. I use family dishes at the holidays as well. So precious! Thanks for hosting!

Terri: I have never found a thistle tea cup. They are so pretty. Always love to visit my friend. Sending hugs, Martha
Oh what a gorgeous set of Thistle patterned tea cups. Never seen them before but I love the simplicity of them Terri.
For Christmas I just love to pull out our white Alfred Meakin dinner set with its cobult blue and gold edged border and setting it up on a beautiful white damask linen tablecloth!
It is some of the finest dinner ware we have.
Thinking of you dear Terri in your travels.
Big hugs,
Suzy♥
Hi Terri,

Your teacup is so pretty. Haven't seen one like it before.
What is it about Johnson Bros? I don't think they've ever made anything I didn't like! I think your new thistle is wonderful for the season. Are those the trees you made last year? I'm off to look at Tin Roof tea. Happy Happy and a Merry Merry!
Dear Terri,
you are absolutely right. The thistle pattern reminds me to winter, too. So lovely to see with your decoration. The brushes trees look fabulous as background. Thank you for sharing this eye candy and for hosting this sweet event. Have a blessed Advent time.
Best greetings, Johanna

I like the thistle china for tea this week Terri and the oval luncheon plates appeal to me as well.

Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos! This is my favorite time of year, but I've been too busy to be able to slow down and enjoy it. Your photos brought some calm and peace this morning.
I do love the delicateness of the painting of the thistles on your lovely cup Terri! Your festive displays are beautiful too!
What a pretty tea set, Terri. I love the bottle brush trees too. What a nice tea for Christmas!
I immediately saw the bliss of winter in your Thistle cup and saucer. Rip Van Winkle tea sounds quite restful. How unique to have oval salad plates. Sipping warm tea is perfect for our extreme cold and snow and ice we are experiencing. December Delights Dear...
What a beautiful post Terri. Love the vintage trees and teacups are so divine. Merry Christmas!
des journées bien fraiche
des gelées blanches tous les matins
un temps idéal pour boire un thé

Such a beautiful pattern and lovely vignettes! The thistle is very symbolic in my family...as it is Scotland's flower. We placed a thistle in my Dad's lapel at his funeral - and also he has thistles etched on his gravestone. They give me peace and comfort. It's extra cold/snowy here in Michigan today and your post makes me feel warm inside! :) xoxo
Hi Terri, I'm a JB fan and have never seen the thistle pattern. It's so nice and your pictures a lovely. I love thistle anything...not sure why.
Merry Christmas.
Linda
Blessings, Terri! Love your thistle pattern, too - Johnson Brothers, of course. I love so many of their patterns - such a warmth in the appeal of their artwork. Your photography is always so inspiring - just beautiful!
Joy!

Hola Terri
Ustedes en el hemisferio norte hacen de la Navidad un culto, nosotros somos más frios, es por eso que yo ne he publicado nada al respecto.
Te felicito por todo lo que nos enseñas, he aprendido mucho.
Muchos besos
I am looking for a tea cup named Irish Thistle
I just love tea cups
Another wonderful find, Terri, and I love the pattern. The tea sounds delicious too. Loved all the beautiful photographs but the one at the top of the post was particularly delightful! xox
You sure know how to find those awesome treasures, Terri!
Thank you for hosting!
A very merry Christmas to you, my friend.
