Peony Tea Time~Pick a Winner

(A)
Hi everyone,

It's Tea Time and I have picked the
last bouquet of Peonies for the season.
I just love the way the peonies photograph.
This Peony Tea Time will be in my 2017

Tea Time Calendar.
Last December I made a calendar for 2016 with
the photos from my Tea Time review 2015...
GO HERE

While I was styling this tea table with different settings
I thought it would be fun to see what you
would pick for the month of May 2017.

When I was a little girl, it would be a special treat to use the tea spoon and put in fresh tea leaves and let it

steep in hot water.

Please help me decide. I NEED HELP!

Happy Spring. With the warm like summer weather in Northern California my garden roses are blooming everywhere. Life is great today. I've been working in the garden planting annuals and some new perennials. I have collected "Butterfly Meadow" dishware by Lenox for years. Last year I added the tea pot, creamer and sugar to my collection. This coffee pot was the very first piece I purchased on clearance many years ago. The lid has a little butterfly on top.

While having tea at the Tuck Box Tea Room HERE. We had loose tea and a tea strainer was used. We passed the tea strainer from cup to cup. It was fun sharing the strainer with loved ones.

Time for some mini-cupcakes in a cloche.

Vintage spring time napkin rings from the thrift store.

Sugar and Cream anyone?

Oh my gosh! A ladybug in my cup. It's so cute.

Butterfly Meadow dinner plate, American salad plate and a Butterfly Meadow tea cup and saucer.

Butterflies flying everywhere.

Affection silverware

My daffodils are blooming and they blend well with Just Joey rose, with the delicious rich apricot color and strong fruity fragrance.

Thanks for visiting and have a beautiful weekend.

Joyously,

Betty

Pink and White Tea Time

Hello everyone,

Hope you are having a pleasant week. I have been busy working in the garden. My Camellia tree is blooming like crazy...To see my tree go HERE.

The Camellia is called "Pink Perfection" my tree is over 40 years old and still growing beautifully.

On Monday afternoon the UPS delivered my Churchill tea pot, sugar and creamer. I set a tea time on the bed in the guest bedroom, I took some photos of the entire room and I will share them with soon. But for now Tea Time.

I have dreamed of this tea pot for about five years. I finally bought it on ebay. I love ebay.

I'm using my silver tray and a vintage crochet doily and my great-grandma's teaspoon and my mom's crystal vase.

After working in my garden planting the rose bushes I bought in February. I would love to take some time and enjoy a cup of tea and then take a long nap,

This flower is Perfection...♥

Have a wonderful weekend.

Thanks for visiting.

Joyously,

Betty

Butterfly Meadow Tea Time

Hello everyone,

I've had a busy week. I took the written test to renew my drivers licence for another five years. The next time I will take the test I will be 78 years old. Ouch! There were 18 questions and I missed two.
I PASSED! Yay.

As a reward for passing I treated myself to a new tea set. My birthday is Tuesday June 3rd and I've wanted this tea set for years.

Happy Birthday to me. Now you know the rest of the story.

I have no secrets from my blog friends. LOL

Lenox 'Butterfly Meadow' 7 piece tea set.

My tabletop has turned into a sun-soaked butterfly haven! From my breakfast table to my tea table. This gently scalloped tea set will brighten my tablescape with a yellow and blue butterfly pattern fluttering above vibrant florals.

Delicate details are so sweet.

A little lady bug in the tea cup.

Two soft yellow napkins from my favorite store

(Tuesday Morning) One napkin in the tea cup and one in the tray.

A butterfly on the tea pot lid♥

Soft pink flowers on the sugar and creamer and a pink flower bud as the handle for the sugar bowl.

A wonderful spot to sit in the morning and drink a cup of tea. Watching the sun rise and listening to the birds sing...

Over the past seven years since retiring I've collected several pieces of 'Butterfly Meadow' dinnerware. I found the dinner plates at a consignment store and the mugs at Tuesday Morning. The coffee pot was on sale at Macy's. The purchase of the coffee pot started
this journey to complete this beautiful table setting.

To See post Go HERE

A little peek at my birthday present to me.

Thanks for visiting My Cozy Corner

Joyously,

Betty

Birds of a Feather Flock Together Tablescape

Hello everyone,

No truer words were said...Birds of a Feather Flock Together. Yes, We Do!

I photographed this tablescape yesterday morning and after lunch I was planting in the garden. I don't usually plant annuals, but this year because of the garden tour I'm planting of instant color.

Now back to tablescaping. I won a gift certificate from French Bleu Vintage a few years ago and I picked this vintage bird cage. My little birds have another home outside in the patio, but they consented to come inside for couple of days. LOL

March is a busy month at My Cozy Corner. On Sunday we had a family dinner for Sweetheart. He is now 72 years old. Between birthdays and garden I'm one busy old lady. This jeweled napkin ring caught my eye at the thrift store about a month ago. I didn't by them at that time. $2.00 silly me. Then I was thinking they would look nice with this table. I hopped in the car and ran over to the thrift store. I couldn't find them anywhere. Finally I asked and there they were just waiting for me to bring them home.

I love birds. When we first moved into our home the back yard was very different looking. HERE We had chickens and loved the fresh eggs each morning for breakfast while the children were growing up. Oh yes, our middle son will be 50 this Sunday. We're going out to dinner and celebrate our Patrick's birthday. He was born the day before St. Patrick's Day. What was I going to do. I had to name him Patrick. Besides I love the name. Well I sure did get off the topic of tablescaping.

Do you think the eggs are a little bit out of proportion with the size of the birds? LOL

I think they are so cute...♥

I.ve always been a a storyteller about everything. I try to stay as close to the truth as possible These plates have a story too.

I don't know what plants they are, but they look like weeds to me.

I found the four plates at a yard sale for $2.00. I knew they would be perfect for a spring table. I was going to use them later this spring outside under the pergola, but I just couldn't wait.

Grape vine wreath, green dollar tree plates, Martha Stewart salad plates and weed plates from yard sale. Sweet♥

The place mats were on clearance at TM. There is a set of place mats, four napkins and a table runner for $9.00. I didn't use the napkins for this tablescape because they are huge. I had this smaller contrasting green napkin that works well with my semi-shear napkins. The white flatware is from Walmart.
