Most years, my January tea trolley has been decorated in a palette of cream and white tea wares. I started to do that again this year, as that's what I've always done, but then I thought, hey, the tea trolley police are probably not going to come after me if I add a bit of color this year, right? And if they do, so be it!
… and was quite happy with the result!
My favorite pink teapot.
A Fitz and Floyd (I think) creamer and sugar, collected at different times.
The sugar paste flowers from my wedding cake.
Turned a bit peachy over the years, but still hanging on …
A teacup stand, something that's always out on display.
An old, old antique mall find.
A gift from my old landlord.
An estate sale purchase last year.
A favorite teacup, a gift from my friend Beth.
A tea trivet I found … somewhere.
I'm already plotting spring in my mind, and these lovely vintage tea wares brimming with flowers are one way I cheer myself up on the rainy, gray days of winter. That and a nice cup of tea, of course. Is there anything you do to keep things sunny through the winter? Tips are always welcome here!
