Feeling Blue


Hello All!
Welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday!

Interesting that we think of "feeling blue" as 
describing feeling down or depressed.
Blue seems to be so cheery, doesn't it?
Especially when paired with white.

How about a cup of tea
with me? 

I have set up our table with two blue tea cups,
One for you and one for me : )

We have pretty blue napkins today,
a gift from Dorthe, thank you!


Two oatmeal cookies for you,
one for  me...

Made by my husband,
he is a sweetie.


Which tea cup would you like to use today? 
(chamomile tea today, I hope that is o.k.)
  

I love both so pick away : )

The best part of having tea,
can be sharing it with a friend.

We could chat about the weather,
or family,
what we are passionate about,
or what we are creating lately...
(may be the same!)


It is the last week of February, 
can you believe it?

I have  been doing a little painting,
a little sewing and a little
papercrafting.

How about you?

I hope you and your loved ones
are all well.

I hope my blue and white tea
helps cheer your day as well as mine : )

Thank you for stopping by for tea!
I enjoyed visiting with you.

Martha is hosting T.T.
and has already begun decorating for Easter.
She has some lovely tea cups today to share.
Thank you Martha

 Thank you for hosting ladies!

Valentine Candy


Hello All
Happy LOVE Day!

Today I am sharing eye candy, 
The only kind I can have, lol.
 

I cherish this sweet trio from Martha, 
Being a gift of love, it makes it 
perfect for Valentine's day. 


Rosina and romance go hand and hand 
with this lovely rose set.


Pink and white, 
very Valentine to me!


Roses of the softest blush pink....
and matching tea cup....
lovely!


 Pink, with gold trims....

 Rose bouquets...sigh...


Pink beauty, soft and romantic.


Rosebuds

and below... 
the sweetest Valentine cup I own,
filled with warm aromatic English breakfast.  


How Do I Love Thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being an ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,--I love thee with the Breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
Elizabeth Barret Browning 


May the LOVE we share today
multiply!


Thank you for stopping by for tea!
Wishing you all the best day possible.

UPDATE:
Martha was unable to post T.T. this week, 
She and her son are in need of prayers
and healing wishes as he i
experiencing more health issues.
Our hearts and love go out to them both!

Thank you Ladies! 

Hugs,
Terri

Cottage Mugs



Hello All!

How about switching it up this week...
from tea cups to tea mugs.

These two were bargain finds,
and are cheery all on their own.


A scoop of spearmint and a scoop of peppermint...


A good magazine to help one dream of summer gardens!


a bit of local honey....yum.


garden dreaming...


I wouldn't mind staying at this cottage!


or up in that room above the hollyhocks...


Tea brings moments of respite,
and silly wonderings...lol. 

Mugs with such lovely images really do
spark my imagination!

Thank you for stopping by for tea today : )
I love that you did!

I wish you all a good day!
Hugs,
Terri 

Martha has the linky for Tea Cup Tuesday
I will be heading over to visit her and 
see what gorgeous china she shares.
Thank you Martha!   
 

I am joining Sandi for No Place Like Home,
and Bernideen's for BTTCG
hoping to be able to link to more if I can...
