This floral bouquet is as pretty on the back as it is on the front.
The yellow rose has been replaced by a buttercup on the back.
There is yet another bouquet on the inside of the cup.
I added the next photo to show off the beautiful embroidered tablecloth.
The table looks a little busy but the embroidery has all the colors of the teacup. I love my embroidered tablecloths but often end up not using them because they seem to fight with my dishes instead of enhancing them when setting up for a tea.
The second teacup today has a pretty orange flower in the bouquet.
I immediately thought of my Hall Orange Poppy Teapot. I seldom used this teapot because I didn't have a tea cup to compliment it.
The back of this teacup has a pretty blue and white motif.
My mom made this blue cross stitch tablecloth for me. It accents the tiny blue flowers on the teacup and teapot.
I've took all the photos for this 5 part series in one day . I have fasting blood work next week so have avoided putting any sweets in the photos but all these shots have my sweet tooth throbbing and the pictures are begging for a proper teatime treat.
With only one more post in this series I want to thank all of you who have made me welcome to "linked" tea parties. All the kind comments and words of encouragement are truly appreciated.
I will be joining Sandi for Teatime Tuesday to get my sweet fix as I view all the treats in my fellow blogger's posts.
As a lover of tea cups I am thoroughly enjoying this post series. Thanks for sharing. And the linens are lovely too.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely gifts and beautiful linens. I've enjoyed the series.
ReplyDeleteYour tablecloths are lovely, Gail, but I know what you mean about them fighting with the china patterns. Some of mine are like that too. Your teacups bring a welcome spring-like theme to your tea table which we are all enjoying these days. You have been given some wonderful treasures. Thank you for sharing them with us and joining me for Tea Time.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi
How lovely! My sweet tooth also enjoy viewing all the yummy treats on Tea Time Tuesdays!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty patterns!
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed seeing the teacups and like the embroidered linen collection.
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful teacups to add to your collection! I especially love cups that have a floral display on the inside. Your embroidered tablecloths are really nice and complement your tea ware. It's so nice to see color in tablecloths. Mine are white, ivory or beige- a bit dull. Thanks for sharing!
