*Happy Birthday to Me*


Hi, Everyone.
OK, It's all about me. 
This little tea light is just the right size for a birthday cake.
With a cute little flicker of light  inside.


Sweetheart and I stayed with my mother while my sister visited Hawaii the week we arrived home. 
As a birthday gift my mother gave me one of her tea cups.  
I love it!


Today was so beautiful I took my tray and sat in the patio and admired my beautiful gift.
AS THEY SAY! 
A GIRL CAN NEVER HAVE TO MANY TEA CUPS.


The heat turned up in Northern California and our rose blooming season has come to an end.
This rose is "Tournament of Roses" Light Pink to Medium Pink.


'Lefton China' Pattern 2684
Footed tea cup and hand painted






Purple Lavender and Veronica give the bouquet a romantic look in the vintage vase.


Please come and sit awhile and enjoy the swing.






HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME
