Tea for Three. . ..

When I visited the Thrifty Groove blog yesterday I saw that she was having a link party on Saturday for her monthly thrifty tablescapes.  Because it is all in Pink I will also be sharing with Pink Saturday

I thought it would be fun to do a ‘Tea for Three’.  Ha-ha, that’s because I only have 3 pink teacups.

I was too lazy to undecorate the kitchen table so I decided to set it up on my new (old) chippy table.  In case you missed it, here’s a pic.

I didn’t have a cute tablecloth so I threw on my ruffled throw from IKEA.  LOVE it!

I tied the corners up with pink ribbon.  Perfect for my ‘pink tea’!

Everything except the album is a thrift or yard sale find.  The album I bought years ago from Avon.  The teapots sit atop it. Both were found at D.I. for 1 and 2 dollars.

This tablescape is all about roses.  We even have a book of poems by Emily Dickinson for conversation.  Oops, there I go fibbing again,  not a thrift find.  The book was a birthday gift 6 or 7 yrs. ago.  Love that pop of yellow!

Sweet little tea accessories.  Again, I only have one of each.  I love the heart tea bag holder.  Notice the cut swirly pattern on the cup?  The rose plates I just bought at D.I. for 75 cents ea.

This $2.00 yard sale bowl would be fun filled with some yummy muffins.  Oh and yes, we must have a hat!

No muffins?  How about a donut or piece of cake?

A few sweets for the sweet!  Look at that tiny sugar container, sa-weeeeeet!  Could I use the word sweet any more times in a sentence?  Ha-ha, just did!

IMG_5336

More sugar, sugar.  I know, I know, enough already.  Sorry this pic is a bit blurry.  I cropped a bigger pic and this was in the background.

And let’s not forget the cream.  I also just bought this for $.75

I felt like a little girl setting up a pretend tea party.  But, oh what fun I had!

Hope you enjoy my ‘Tea for Three’!

Hugs,

Jann

Yours is the first blog I visited for pink Sat. I love your post and all the beautiful photos. I had that tea set; the cups and saucers, at my wedding 30 years ago. I think I might still have them in a cupboard. I'm off to check!

Ditto -- so cute! Love the white throw on the table. Quite clever. :-)

I do have a question: What is D.I.? It sounds as though perhaps I should pay them a visit if we have them somewhere around us haha.

I just read your post about the table, and I had to laugh. Sounds alot like the conversations I have with my husband every time I find what I think is a treasure and he thinks is junk! I love the table just the way it is, and all dressed up for tea!

Linda @ A La Carte said...

Your tea for three is precious. I love all your pink dishes and teacups! I like how you used a throw for a tablecloth! hugs, Linda

How fun, Jann! I have those same pink stems & that same pink depression glass cups & candy dish!! They were my Mom's & I cherish them deeply. It brings back lots of fond memories of birthday parties, growing up.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your little ‘Chocolates for Valentines’ quilt!! Too cute for words! I need to make ME one.

Hugs,
Rett

Hi, I'm visiting from Rose Chintz Cottage and I think your tea for three is delightful. So many pretty pink things and you dressed up a plain table to become feminine and inviting.

Heirloom treasures said...

Jann I love your tea setting,the tablecloth is gorgeous. I had to look twice at the little pic on Knick of Time as I thought it was mine. You have lots of china and glass on your tea table that are like mine. I have blogged this week also about my pink glass. Your chippy table is so nice and I love how you have tied the corners of the cloth with pink ribbon.

Your tea table is so pretty; love all your pink! Your cups are a match to the bowl that I have my pudding in. I like the 'tablecloth' you used tied with pink ribbon. Very sweet; and thank you for sharing this with Tea Time. Have a lovely day.

You put together a beautiful tea table today! I love all the pink. Your table covering was very clever and it turned out beautifully. I like to re-purpose things also.

Have a wonderful tea time today!
