Hello! It's another Tea Cup and Tea Time Tuesday. I'm participating in both this week. One is hosted by Martha at Martha's Favorites

The first picture below is part of a complete set.......
I actually had forgotten about it.......
Until I was searching for something else today.............
And discovered the box ...............
hiding in a drawer............
and then I saw it......and remembered!!
.....................Drum Roll Please..................
Ta Dah........!! Did you guess it was a miniature set?!
I bought this set on E-bay about a year ago. I have a project in mind that I needed it for, but somehow that little project, like so many others, got put on the back burner.
I wrote to a blogger friend recently that I had some things that were so far back, on the back burner, that they wound up in my neighbor's kitchen and on her stove top! ☺
"American-style iced tea is the perfect drink for a hot, sunny day. It's never really caught on in the UK, probably because the last time we had a hot, sunny day was back in 1957". -- Tom Holt
I love those little miniature tea sets. I spent many an afternoon on my front porch, playing tea party with the little girls who lived next door. We loved it, little miniature cookies and all. Afterward they loved washing up the little teacups and saucers. I think they liked the playing in the soapy water better than the actual tea party.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet!
ReplyDeleteHi Becky,
ReplyDeleteAdorable!
And love the quote at the end of your post. We can use some iced tea today with temps expected to reach 100 degrees.

That is a pretty miniature tea set. I enjoyed your quotes too.
ReplyDeleteThose little sets are so sweet. Now, I wonder what you were going to with it. Something special I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteHI Ann! Thanks for sharing such sweet memories with us! I never had a little tea set like this one, but I did have a little set made from tin (I think!) I have a couple of old photos around somewhere. I'll have to dig one out and post it sometime!
ReplyDeleteHi Akelamalu! Thanks for stopping by & leaving a "sweet" comment! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Donna! Thanks, and I agree about the temps! That's one of the reasons I chose that quote! Yes...Heat Index well into the 100's for the next few days, I think!
ReplyDeleteHi parTea Lady! Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment. I'm always happy to hear when someone likes the quotes, too!
ReplyDeleteHi Snap! Thank you, too, for commenting! And, I'll explain about my little project in the next post, how's that? (I was half asleep when I finally finished writing last night!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little mini set!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!

Adorable little tea set. I've made a few grapevine wreaths with miniature tea sets tucked in and around them with ribbon and a few boxes with a tea party glued to the top in the past. Curiosity is hot on the front burner to know what your plan was. Take care.
ReplyDeleteOh!! I just love mini tea sets!! I have a few myself and you have a lovely one there!!
ReplyDeleteLove the quote too!!
Great tea time post!!

Aww! How cute. I love childhood tea sets! My grandmother collects them. They are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSherry
LOL! how cute!
ReplyDeleteAmy
Too cute! I actually have a mini tea set, too...mine is for Christmas and so only comes out once a year.
ReplyDeleteHow fun it is to find things we put away for another day! Your miniature set is so wonderful! Just love it! I did not own one and the last month I know have been given 4 miniature sets! None are pink! Love your quote! I also read the posts above, I hope all is well with your family, I will say a prayer! The rabbit is so cute, I use to raise Angora Rabbits, they will take things to build their nest for the babies. Maybe the rabbit was trying to get him some good stuff to take home! So fun to see the rabbit. I had on at my back door, first wild one we seen in a long time. I live in the country and you would think there would be more. Lots of barn cats around, so he was very brave! Thank you for joining me for Tea Time Tuesday. Hope all is good news for your family!
