Tea Set

I was sitting out on my patio this morning have coffee and brushing my cat not that has anything to do with my little bitty tea sets but you get the picture.

I was looking on a special shelf I have as I was going out my back door and my eyes caught these little cardboard tea pots and sure you have all seen these, well any one 36 years old and up . One is dated 1983 and the other one 1991
                                                                             






The little cups & saucers and the tea pot are so small a dine besides them would look huge 




I had to set my little Victorian couple out also 






I was also admiring some of my flowers beginning to bloom, my hydrangeas have their first bloom on one of my bushes ,however didn't take a picture of her  yet


Not sure what these are but I have about 7 blooming


then my sweet impatiens they always look good anywhere 



and then my Russian sage which I love but need to move so it can be in the sun all day 



well I have a ham steak in the oven and boiled eggs on the stove so need to tend to them and also waiting on my sister Liz to come over ,we are going dress shopping for her a dress to wear to our nieces beach wedding



linky parties

  7. Oh- I have to ask you, Janice. Did you buy those little sets on eBay, by any chance? I sold two of them on there. That would be funny if you did! I can smell that ham steak from here- xo Diana

  15. Good Evening Janice, What a sweet little teaset and your cardboard teapots are very unusual.
    The flower which you were not sure of is an Allium, they are grown from bulbs. They are a very popular plant here in England. I had planted a dozen bulbs, but only one flowered this year due to the bad weather.
    Have a lovely 4th July celebration tomorrow.
    Best Wishes to you,
    Daphne

  16. Oh how I love pretty tea sets. Some of my dolls are sitting at a table having tea with mismatched cups! But they look cute anyway! I think you've found out your pretty plant's name. The tops remind me of garlic. Enjoy your week!

  19. Love the little card board sets, so very cute! It's so hot I think all we have is tea on the brain right now! Your flowers are doing well, I'm having to pamper mine like a southern belle to keep them growing.
    Have a happy and blessed 4th of July!
    Hugs,
    Patti

  21. Janice, I feel soooo stupid. I am probably the only person who hasn't seen those little cardboard teapots. They are adorable. It looks as if that was a wonderful day. I hope your sister got a fabulous dress.
