Hello All!
Welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday!
Today I am sharing with you what I love about Tea.
I find tea to be a comfort, a break in the day,
a moment to savor just being here now.
Choosing a lovely tea cup, setting a tray, picking out the type of tea.....all this is such a joy in my day! This little Haviland tea cup and saucer are one of my favorites. Her gold trims have already been loving worn away with use many many years ago, and I am continuing this process with my daily use of the cup.
Teapots are another joy in the pleasure of taking tea. This sweet little teapot is from Bavaria made by Z.S&C. I shelter about 10 teapots in my home. I adore each one! Am I silly or what? Waxing on about china! Lol!
I find the taste of raw sugar to be delicious in most of my teas...
....as well as some milk.
A pretty sugar bowl and a vintage spoon....all add to the delight of my tea.
Now if I can also have some toast and jam....well, then I truly feel pampered! Yum!
For me, add some freshly picked flowers and it is the perfect tea for me! It can hardly get any better.....unless I was having tea at a pub in England!
Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit and listening to me talk about my love for tea time! I truly appreciate your visit and your comments!

Good Morning Terri, I love your post and your beautiful Tea Cup and love, love, love, your sweet Tea Pot, it is so beautiful. Thank you for hosting Tea Cup Tuesday. I hope you are having a wonderful week. Hugs, Terri
ReplyDeleteTerri, I must say, that for me, the pretty flower designs on the tea cups are my favorite part of the cup. I always notice them first, then the shape of the cup, etc. Your little worn cup is precious. It really has seen many tea times, hasn't it.
ReplyDeleteI love your teapot - sooo cheery and the shape is fun and happy. It's saying "please pour me for some lovely quiet tea time." I don't think it's crazy to have 10 tea pots. I'm sure they have their own unique flare.
I like raw sugar, too...and of course with a darker tea milk is a must!
Enjoy your tea and the day,
Marianne
I love your tea pot, and hope to join Tea Cup Tuesday soon. I like using raw sugar as well. xo,
ReplyDeleteI love Haviland! Wonderful teacup and I'm in love with the teapot. A girl can never have enough teacups or teapots! Raw sugar ... yummmmmm. Fun post!
ReplyDeleteHere in Scotland, the first thing we do when people come to visit is to ask if they'd like a "wee cuppa"! Everything is better after a wee cup of tea!

Hello Terri,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about tea being a lovely respite. I don't take either sugar or milk in mine but that sugar sure presents itself well! Your tea cup is as cute as can be and I'm sure a real pleasure to sip from. I so enjoyed your post today. Thank you for sharing it with us and I hope your week is delightful in every way.
Blessings,
Sandi
I wondered what had happened to you today ;0) Nice to see you. and hear about your tea ritual

ReplyDeleteDear Terry
ReplyDeleteI understand perfectly all what you tell about having a cup of tea and I always use raw sugar too!
Is a very special moment...

You are so right. It's amazing the joy a cup of tea can bring. Love that tea pot, very unusual.

Your teacup is beautiful! I feel the same way you do about the specail elements that make having tea (or coffee) so nice. It is a welcomed break in the day.

Thank you, Terri, for the tutorial. I cannot wait to try it!!! I love your cup and am just crazy about the tea pot. I think 10 tea pots is a great idea!! We are going to my in laws for the Fourth of July and I am praying for a tea cup or two. They are moving out os their house. I think I will get back the consomme cups we have given them. Maybe I can sneak those in on Tea Cup Tuesday! Thank you, Terri...I enjoy this so much.

Let me tell you again, love your tutorial. Your post so made me wish I was in England having tea! My son bought me a gift voucher for High Tea in a beautiful tea room in Sydney's Queen Victoria Building for Mother's Day...this will make up for missing out on tea in England!
ReplyDeleteHi Terry! I adore reading your blog! I've had some confusions, Tho I thought I had joined before, I am a follower now. There are really 2 blogs(?)yours A. and Martha's. The siler teapot light is soo clever! I love raw sugar too, and adore going to teas, and hosting them. Have a wonderful week! Happy Teacup Tuesday! xoSunny (Dianna)
ReplyDeleteHi Terri!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tea things you showed us today!
When I added my link to the list I was in a hurry and couldn´t leave a comment, but now here I am to tell you that I found your Haviland tea cup lovely, even with marks of time and use (I'm crazy about antiques) and the teapot is a real beauty.
Hugs
That's a great post! I feel like I'm having tea with you.
ReplyDeletehugs,

Lovely teapot and teacup. I love them both.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Terri, there is something special about drinking tea when you prepare a pot, use a pretty cup and sit and enjoy. I had my niece over yesterday (8) and we did just that! It always tastes so much better!Lovely post.
ReplyDeleteLove, Lady Linda
I am a little late in making rounds for comments...I love your teacup and unique teapot here. You are so right and I too feel your comfort when taking tea. I enjoy so much the ritual of picking out every piece and this is so important to do in our hectic crazy world! I love this escape here on your blog!! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Terri!
ReplyDeleteI've just been having a wonderful time browsing through your last few posts and enjoying looking at your lovely selection of teacups and pots. Tea always should be had from a pretty, dainty cup otherwise it doesn't taste as tea should :) There truly is nothing more English/Chinese than sipping a freshly brewed cup of tea whilst seated in a pretty spot.
Your tissue transfer idea is wonderful! Can't wait to try this one at home!
ReplyDeleteRose
Your handpainted rose teapot is so pretty! How much fun would that be to have tea in an historic pub in England! :-) I enjoy having a simple cup of tea with toast and jam (or cinnamon). I think just drinking from a pretty cup makes it special.
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful video Terri! I think I might try this technique on my laser printer because I noticed that the prints don't bleed from those types of copies. Thanks so much for sharing your talent.
ReplyDeleteHugs.. Loribeth
