I wanted to enjoy the forsythia this week, so I decided to cut a small bouquet to put on a tea tray for breakfast.
The tea cup is one of my thrift store finds -- Minton.
The small tea pot and creamer are Lenox. They belonged to my mother. The vase is Lenox as well.
The small bread plate is Spode. Also a thrift store find.
Sorry, I couldn't resist a close-up of the tea pot handle.
Isn't the creamer cute?
I love the hand-painted bouquet on the Minton saucer.
Sometimes a girl just needs to make breakfast feel special. ;)
Please take some time to visit our wonderful hostess, Susan, at Between Naps on the Porch, for more tablescapes.

ReplyDelete* So very beautiful~ and, so very sentimental, too. What a lovely way to start the day, with thoughts of a beloved Mom, and some of the very "pretties" that would bring a smile to her face... We should ALL remember to treat ourselves to these "lovely luxuries", and happy thoughts n' memories, more often! Thank you, Linda *
