This morning I remembered that I wanted to do a tea post to share with Sandi from Rose Chintz Cottage. Tomorrow is Tea Time Tuesday.
I pulled out my cute vintage tea cup and saucer with the hand painted cherries. I love the little hobnail trim on the saucer and the red, green, and turquoise colors.
I rarely drink tea, but I knew that I would need a spoonful of sugar.
I got into the pantry to see what kind of herbal tea I had. That’s when I spied this. I knew it was meant to be. . .I mean, the box is even turquoise.
I decided that I would have a different kind of tea. Ice, Ice, Baby. Sorry, I couldn’t resist. I steeped the tea bags in my teapot and then let it cool to room temperature. I had to run a few errands so I put the tea pot in the refrigerator. When I returned I poured it into my cherry pitcher.
Into the garden for a sprig of mint and cut a few lemon slices.
Perfect in my cherry tumbler. It had the most delicious hint of cherry. So refreshing on a hot summer day.
What better way to spend a lazy summer day than sipping ice tea under my new chandy?
Yup, it’s turquoise! In case you didn’t get enough, hee-hee; here’s a few more shots.
Did you notice how perfectly it matches my teacup?
In celebration of the lazy days of summer and 500 followers (YIPEE)! I am giving away a sweet cherry apron and darling crochet cherry hot pad. Thanks to my friends, Connie and Kathy for making these for me.
See how cute the apron is hanging. The apron is made from a checked dish towel. It’s hard to tell, but the white fabric has darling little cherries all over it.
Two chances to win.

Jann, what a great giveaway! Count me in please! Did you paint the chandelier yourself? It's gorgeous and I too am loving red and turquoise this year! That cherry ice tea sounds so refreshing. I've been drinking Minutemaid Cherry Limeaide lately as I don't like to have any more caffeine after about 3 in the afternoon. It's delicious too. It was on sale at Walmart for $1.00 a quart. Hurry back!
Congrats on 500+ followers Jann! I love visiting your blog, because you always inspire me with your decorating style. Please enter me in your giveaway, and have a great 4th!

I am in love with your fabulous cup and saucer, the colors and design are so fun! What a cute post, what fun cherry things you have! Everything looked perfect together. I also have a thing for those vintage glasses and have a "few" sets that get used a lot, especially in the summer.

Hi Jan-
Love the cherry tea cup! It's that time of year here again! Cherry Festival is starting this Saturday.
Your turquoise chandi is cute!
I'm not a big tea drinker but lately I like lemon-aide and tea mixed together or a flavored added like raspberry! I like it cold a lot more than warm except in the winter if I have a cold then I like warm tea!
Have a great 4th of July.
