In honor of National Tea Month, as promised we are having a week of posts full of tea inspiration. Today I am taking a look at decorating with teacups and have found some inspiring ideas over at Pinterest. These first few photos are my favorite I love the idea of a teacup chandelier: This is truly breathtaking...I think if I saw this in person I would just stare at it for a long time! During the holidays I like to deck mine out with ornaments but it looks no where as impressing as this one. Pearls, teacups and pink are always a favorite and would even look cute in a girls bedroom. We have all heard of tea candles, but this picture shows tea candle lights! I love how it can be pretty AND safe if you have lots of little children around and still add a glowing ambiance. Or use one for a pretty display of jewelry on a dresser-- or in one! Stately on a buffet... or even dangling from a tree! (Don't forget, you can find all the links over at my Pinterest board.) Also, if you need a good book to learn about tea try this one: Afternoon Tea by Susannah Blake I have been admiring these lovely Gracie China Rose Chintz teacups for awhile now (hmmm...I wonder if they will fit on my chandelier) and will probably pick up a set of these soon. You can find these and more here. Hope you enjoyed the inspiration! ****************** Are you encouraged here? I personally invite you to subscribe and get the latest posts sent to your inbox.

Happy Weekend! After a week of lovely sunny weather we are getting some rain and cooler temperatures. I had another tour from Japan this morning but once again they were great sports and didn't complain about wet feet etc. We have another tour tom. but sunshine is promised. A few weeks ago I found this shelf at the thrift shop for a few dollars. Andrew put a back on it for me and I gave it a few coats of cloud white paint. It is a good way to display some of my favorite vintage/ antique china. Over the winter we put wainscoting on the bottom of our kitchen walls. When time permits we are adding a scalloped trim board on the bottom of it. Just a few closeups of the china. Lemon crinkle cookies are a nice little tea time treat. If you would like the recipe you can find it here . Looks pretty with toile! The dishes in use for afternoon tea in the sunroom. I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend! Carolyn
