July breakfast

Breakfast on a July morning, posted on the first day of August.  In June and July I like to try and use blue dishes and at least once this marvelous blue roses tablecloth.  The breakfast itself consisted of tea, water, a tortilla sprinkled with cheese and topped with avocado.  Yes, a bit weird but very satisfying.  There is my beloved white porcelain pitcher which just never leaves the table.

 Here you can see the current "breakfast book" - The Empress's Ring by Nancy Hale.

Blessing

In an effort to learn to say this blessing before meals, I wrote it up on real vellum (a scrap I had) and mounted it in this frame.  It sits on or near the table so we can refer to it.  It is is working too, I have it all but memorized and now just have to remember to say it.

New Tea-Cup and Plate, Tea for one

I had tea this past weekend while working on a puzzle (to ease overstressed arms).   I used my new pink teacup & a milk glass plate I found which just is so pretty for teatime snacks.

Pretty Picture

New teacup!

This is a Wedgewod cup I found yesterday in an antique mall, for the amazing price of $6.00!

May breakfast

 Breakfast with Mapp and Lucia this could almost be called as that is the book that is open.
What is new?   A silverplate butter dish and the doily on my silver tray.

This is a pillow the cover of which I made long ago, in the Arts and Crafts style.
The purse, to the right, is new, just finished making it in a workshop yesterday.

The Light Blue Teacup

The reason I searched for and found this teacup many moons ago (about 10 years) was because I was watching the entire collection of Upstairs, Downstairs and in several episodes I saw upstairs folk using a teacup very similar.  It appeared to be light blue with flowers on the outside although with the state of our old TV back then it may have been light green, who knows?   
But I got fixated on a light blue and after much searching in the excellent antique stores where we used to live up north, I found this one.  
The Tea Time magazine just arrived yesterday in the mail.
