Some rose cottage pinkness I have completed recently...

Have a beautiful Wednesday!

Teacup Tuesday

It's Teacup Tuesday once again.

Time for all to share their pretty teacups.

There is always so much eye candy to see

when you visit those participating with Martha and Terri.

Thank you to Martha at Martha's Favorite's

and Terri at Artful Affirmations

for hosting this lovely event each week.

Today I am sharing my green Heritage Rose teacup from Lefton.

I just love the pink roses on this set and the soft minty green background.
The scallops add such feminine detail.

This is my daughter's favorite tea set of my collection.

We used it often when she was little for tea partys :)

So, it holds a special place in my heart...

Wishing you a beautiful Tuesday!

Today I am sharing one of my favorite teacups.

It was a gift from my husband many Christmas' ago.

I absolutely love the blue roses and how they stand out against the white china.

Have a beautiful day!

Happy 2nd Anniversary Pink Saturday!

Pink Saturday turns 2 this weekend! Stop by and join the celebration with all of the other lovely participants. You can find them listed on the blog of Pink Saturday's wonderful hostess Beverly of How Sweet the Sound.

I have been participating in Pink Saturday for almost one year now (on and off) and have had the opportunity to meet some terrific blogger friends. I have been so inspired by your faith, kindness, creative spirit and strength. I so look forward to many more years of Pink Saturday. Thank you Beverly for bringing us together each Saturday to share and celebrate the beautiful, feminine, yet strong color PINK!

To celebrate this special 2nd Anniversary Pink Saturday with you,

I took out one of my favorite tea sets (with pretty pink roses) and made some hot tea ...

and baked a yummy Pink cake with lots of Pink icing just for us...

Of course the first piece goes to our dear Pink Saturday hostess Miss. Beverly!

Enjoy!

Now, because it's a special Pink Saturday celebration, I am having a little pink giveaway.

Part of the giveaway is in one of the photos above...

No... it is not a piece of cake , silly! :)

It's the pink pedestal dish that my teapot is sitting on in the first photo.

This is a sweet metal pedestal dish that I painted pink.

Along with the dish I am giving away a pink 3" pillar candle embellished with hand painted roses

and sparkly glass glitter. Here's a photo of the giveaway...

All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on this post. This is a one day only giveaway.

You can enter until the end of

Pink Saturday May 29th( midnight).

A random winner will be drawn from entries and the

winner will be announced in a Sunday May 30th post.

Good Luck Friends! :)

Happy Pink Saturday!

Pink Saturday

I'm a little late posting for Pink Saturday this morning. My computer is giving me a difficult time, so I am borrowing my son's.

Thank you Beverly of How Sweet the Sound for hosting Pink Saturday each week.
Pay Beverly a visit to see her pink post for today and to see a list of other bloggers participating in Pink Saturday.

For Pink Saturday this week I am sharing another of my teapots and a matching teacup and saucer. This one is Lefton Green Heritage. It has the prettiest pink roses. It is a bit fancier than most in my collection. This is my daughters favorite. For some reason I think it is going to be hers in years to come :)

Happy Pink Saturday!

Pink Saturday Tea Time

Happy Pink Saturday! Thank you sweet Beverly from How Sweet the Sound for hosting this fun weekly event.

For Pink Saturday I am sharing one of my teapots. I have a collection of teapots that have all been gifts to me for various occasions. Most are displayed in my dining room, but I do use each from time to time :)

This teapot with cup and saucer is pink and white with pretty light pink, dark pink and purple roses. It is Royal Albert's Rose Garland. I love the flower shaped handle on the lid.

Hope you have a lovely Pink Saturday! And if you are ever in my neighborhood, stop by for a cup of tea! :)

My First Blue Monday!

My first Blue Monday! I'm happy to share in the fun with other Blue Monday bloggers!

Thank you so very much to Smiling Sally for hosting this event every week! :)

For my first Blue Monday, I would like to share one of my very favorite teapots, and a matching cup and saucer.

This was a gift from my Sweetie many Christmas' ago. (He has such good taste!)

This is the Moonlight Rose pattern by Royal Albert. I love the different blue shades of the roses.

Just beautiful!

Happy Blue Monday! Have a terrific day!

Anytime is Tea Time :)

This is a previously sold teapot "TeaTime" 12" by 12" sign I painted.

I will be listing a similar one on ebay in the next week or so.

This is perfect among a collection of tea pots or teacups,

or hanging in the rose cottage kitchen or sunny breakfast nook. I have a customer who ordered a similar sign from me

for her daughter's playroom. It hangs over her daughter's play table and chairs where she has her tea parties with her dolls and bears. I paint and sell similar but smaller wood tepots at Christmas time for hanging on the tree. I also have painted the smaller ornament sized teapots for a sweet customer who gave them as gifts at a garden teaparty she had for her girlfriends. I hand painted roses on one side, then I painted each guests name on the other side. She used them as a tag for seating and placed them on top of each persons place setting. At the end of the party, they had something to bring home to remember the day!

Very Special!

Have a Beautiful day! Y
