Wooo Hew, It's My Up coming Summer Party Schedule



Summer is upon us and the lingering scent of honey suckle mingles with the smell of freshly mown grass. I love this time of year and I am ready for a summer sojourn but first we have to celebrate in the garden with Cielo from The House Of Roses.
Visit her beautiful blog and find out all about it.




Speaking of summer sojourns are you ready for this? We are all taking a vacation together on June 26th. I can't wait my bags are packed. To join the trip visit MommyHolly at her sweet blog home . Where are we going? Stay Tuned to find out.






What a way to wrap up the beautiful month of June. We are going to have a tea party with Vanessa of A Fanciful Twist. Now you know if Vanessa is involved it is going to be MAD.

I Can't wait and I hope all my dear friends will be right here to celebrate with me. Wooo Hew, my fav time of year.

Join me and our wonderful blogging friends for a garden party, a summer sojourn and a mad tea party.

It's going to be fabulous!

Show and tell Sunday "China Heaven"

Show and tell Sunday Once again. Today we show off our favorite dishes. Love, Love my dish collection. I have so many but I choose to show off only a few. It was a little difficult carting the dishes and the Grand Princess out to the garden for our photo shoot.




Thank you Analise for hosting show and tell today. Be sure to pay her blog, Sugar Sugar a visit.





I love all of the wonderful details you find, top to bottom on vintage dishes. My little sprite looks pretty happy in the garden on this beautiful sunny day.








We're set for a little tea party among the trees.
All we need is a princess.
I love to set a table or bench, in this case,
with beautiful white dishes, white linens and candle light.
There is nothing more elegant.







The perfect little spot to sit for tea, a good book or a little bird watching.
I couldn't ask for a better spot except a little less poison ivy. Thought I might see the princess over here.









I so love this cup. It is so detailed and dainty. It makes you want to hold out your pinkie with tea. I learned, recently at tea party that I attended, that it was actually considered bad manners to hold out your pinkie in Victorian times. Who Knew?









The roses on these shabby chic dishes has to be my fav. Creamy white background with pink roses and gold trim. Perfect!










This blue bird covered dish is one of my favorite garage sale finds.
The colors are so soft and beautiful and I love blue birds.










I have had it for 3 years but have not used it for serving food. I just keep it filled with dried roses from the garden.








Here is another shot of my favorite tea cup and little rose plates. The plates are the perfect size for a chocolate cupcake or lemon scone. Yumm!









Took a quick shot of my Stangl tea pot, sugar bowl and my very cute owl creamer. So sweet and all from the 50's.









Another quickie taken of my grandma's electric tea pot (still works) and a couple sugar bowls. The sugar bowl to the front is part of my Blue Ridge hand painted pottery collection that I didn't photograph.









What would a china collection be without a little Blue Willow. I love it but this is my only piece. It is a beautiful platter in perfect condition.
I can't believe that I have collected only one piece of these old beauties.











Oops, here is another pic of this gorgeous tea cup and saucer. Can you tell it is one of my favorites? Love it!









These tea cups and saucers are my favorite Stangl pieces. The colors speak to me. They are not your dainty little English tea sets. Stangl ware has a chunky feel to it. The finish is so soft and creamy.
I think it screams romantic home.










I love to add shells and vintage brooches with fine china, to my table scape's. The lighting through the trees really does make an elegant shot.










This spot looks like the perfect place for a princess.
Don't you think?
I know, I know this was supposed to be about my china collection but everything, including my photo shoots, just seems to turn into art or a story.









Ahh, There is my little Grand Princess. What would a tea party be without a princess? She is so yummy sweet and the best piece in my collection ;)
Love her!


Thank you for stopping by today.
I am wishing you all a very safe and beautiful holiday weekend.
