What a wonderful way to spend a hot summer day, inside partaking in beautiful Tea Parties hosted by Jan & Tom's Place!
I encourage you all to stroll on over to their blog, and have tea with the other participants!
Jan, Thanks for being such a gracious host! :)
I would like to take you back in time, to approximately 55 years ago.
That is when our Aunt Bo acquired this precious little tea set, at the tender age of 7.
Aunt Bo, blessed Ashley and I with this set just a few weeks ago!
We are thrilled and amazed at all of the little dainty pieces.
I included the picture below to show just how small this little tea set is...
Blessings for the day~ ~Rhonda
Rhonda...sorry I missed you on the LIST - but you're ON IT NOW!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely TEA SET you were blessed to receive!! It barely looks like it was used. I hope you use it over and over and over again! I've learned NOT to leave things on the shelf, displayed, waiting for that PERFECT time to use them...but to USE THEM whenever I WANT TO!!! (which is ALOT)
Thanks for having us for TEA!!
~Blessings,
Jan
Beautiful tea set!! It truly doesn't look like it is as old as it is!!
ReplyDeleteHow is David? I have continued to pray for him!
Hi Rhonda, This is a beautiful tea set, and a beautiful job of setting it up!!!! You've got talent, girl! I just sold a gorgeous tea set and I am sorry I did, it was my only complete set :(
ReplyDeleteI live and I learn! Hope you have a great day. Nancy
what a beautiful tea set! and how precious to have sweet memories of a close relative attached to it :) enjoy your tea party!
ReplyDeleteHi Rhonda and I have certainly enjoyed myself at your tea party. What a precious little tea set! I've never seen one with so many pieces. Love how you have it displayed on the green material. Thanks for stopping by my tea party. This is fun, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
This is beautiful Rhonda! What a special aunt to grace you with it. Now you have something new for your pink (Saturday's?) days! Hope David is coming along well.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty tea set!
ReplyDeleteI have a ruffled cake plate exactly like yours..does yours have the transparent stripe on the rim?
ReplyDeleteAnd I have plates that match your tea set, Norway ROse pattern?
Beautiful tea party thank you!
Rhonda, I know you both will treasure this forever. It is so dainty and lovely. Thank you for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteThat set is adorable and perfect! I have never seen such a complete set like that....precious!
ReplyDeleteYour table looks so pretty! And I love the green fabric!

Lovely tea set! BTW I love you new blog background! Hugs, Vanessa
ReplyDeleteGreat timing, Aunt Bo! How super for Ashley to have this family piece!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a gorgeous set. Made even more special by being passed down by family! It is truly adorable in it's small size- it appears to be in perfect condition!! We bought Bella a tea set when she was first born and it is up on a top shelf for now!! I can not wait to give it to her when she gets older. Hopefully she will treasure these things as I do!
ReplyDeleteLove your bunny too! Reminds me of Alice in Wonderland.
How is your little David!?!?! How did it go yesterday? Was he able to get his cast?
Have a great day sweetie!

Hi Rhonda,
ReplyDeleteStop by my blog when you have a minute...I have an award for you! It's a little different from your others!
Morning Rhonda! What a gorgeous tea set; you and Ashley are so lucky to have received it! Amazing when you put the ruler next to it - adorable. Oh and I like your new look!!! Have a great day and stay cool! - Jeannette
ReplyDeleteHey Scooter....man I thought I was at the wrong house!!!! lol I love the new look and that precious tea set...oh my word what a treasure girl!!! Hope is well with you and yours today and that David is doing great with his arm...take care and have a great day!!!
ReplyDeleteHi again Rhonda! Thanks for your nice comments. The ottoman cover was easy and since yours are round even better. Just measure around, add an extra inch for seam; do a gathering stitch on top then sew the ends so you have a big circle/skirt. I would lay fabric for top right on top and chalk the outline, add an inch for seam. Now gather the bottom fabric at the top to form a loose ruffle so you can pin the top fabric to it and even out the ruffle as you go; baste, test fit then regular stitch. Done! New ottoman - Hope this helped? Probably more info than you wanted!!lol - Jeannette
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tea party. Your tea set is just beautiful, what a treasure!

Sorry I missed you yesterday... it was a crazy day..anyway.. The tiny tea set is adorable. Im sure you will treasure that one for years to come.... Susie h~
ReplyDeleteHi Rhonda.. the table was in the section where the towels are.. I know weird. It was in a box and you have to slip the peices together. It's not hard at all... take care, Susie H~
ReplyDeleteHi Rhonda! Just stopping by to check on sweet David! How is he doing??
ReplyDelete-Heather :)
Still on my trip - just got a chance to catch up a little.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe I missed a tea party!!
