Lavender Tea Cups

As you know from my past posts, I love Lavender and Tea.  I found two beautiful tea cups, saucers and dessert plates at the Antique Mall.  A very thrifty find.  Later this year I'm giving a tea for my dear friends celebrating 42 years of friendship.  I have been collecting three piece tea sets and the two lavender sets were the last to complete a place setting for twelve.  It's so nice to have a matching cup, saucer and dessert plate.  


   
The tea cup, saucer and dessert plate are 'Lavender' Archive Collectable Teas, Royal Albert, Bone China.




This vintage square table cloth is so lovely with my thrifty silver-plated tray on top.


The vintage tea napkin is on top of the thrifty silver-plated tray.


Lots of Lavender

Oh the sweet smell of lavender from my garden.



I hope you have enjoyed your visit to My Cozy Corner.  I love sharing my treasures with such wonderful friends.

  1. I love that tea set, it's very unusual looking with the exterior different than the interior. Great find and your pictures are gorgeous. Enjoy your tea with you friends, I love that idea. Mary

  5. Those cups are out of this world!!! And, of course, I adore the embroidery on the tablecloth. The setting is wonderful. I also think lavender is an amazing plant.

  6. What a beautiful lavender post. We grow lots of lavender here at Pondside, but I never seem to harvest my own and end up buying it from the lavender farm. I spray my pillows with lavender water every night before I go to bed - a sure way to have sweet dreams.

  24. Hello Betty
    Thanks for visiting, it's so nice that we both love lavender.
    Your cups and saucers are gorgeous - I've never seen that pattern before but would love to have tea with you using them.
    In Victoria we were warned that afternoon tea at the Empress would run $70-$80 and that wouldn't have mattered to me. Oh well, gives us an excuse to go back again sometime. :-)

  25. Hello Betty, Your tea cups are so lovely, and to have fresh, wonderfully fragrant lavender from the garden! I do have some Lavender in my little garden, but I never did cut some to bring into the house to dry :( I'll have to remember to do that next year.

    Wishing you a lovely Tea Tuesday!
    Warmest, Brenda
