Hello everyone,
Wow, these weeks just fly by. While sweetheart and I were on our trip to the coast I found a wonderful shop in old town Eureka. The shop sells beautiful clothes from Scotland and Ireland and other specialty items. I was so excited when I spotted this adorable tea cozy. I love going on trips and finding wonderful things that I can enjoy long after our trips are just a memory.
I also found a tea towel with four different symbols representing Scotland's heritage.
The Lion Rampant is referred to as the 'Royal Flag of Scotland'
I set the tea table with some shortbread, fruitcake and raspberry filled cookies from Tuesday Morning.

A Scottish tea cup
My Thistle tea cup is such a traditional symbol of Scotland
The Thistle is the National Emblem of Scotland

The bagpiper of Scotland
I picked my zinnias and blue delphinium for this bouquet.
I love my flowers...Even when the weather is so hot outside you could fry and egg on the sidewalk the little darlings just keep blooming. I think this photo looks like a watercolor.
The white tea cozy is made of wool and the pom-pom on top reminds me of the pom-pom on the top of my Scottish tam. The beautiful cable design is amazing.

Thanks for visiting today. I hope you have a wonderful week.
Joyously,

Betty, I love your tea cozy! I haven't seen one as unique. Love the pom-pom. Your Scottish teacup is lovely and so are your treats and tea towel. What a pretty bouquet too. Lovely posting and thank you for sharing it at my little tea party.

ReplyDeleteYour tablescape is amazing, but I have to say I am coveting the tea cozy! Beautiful!

The tea cozy looks really cozy indeed. It's lovely. It makes me think of those cold winter nights with tea by the fire. Warm and comfortable :-)
