I've always admired Sandi's beautiful rose chintz tea set. This pretty pattern has eluded me for years so I was thrilled when my treasure hunting finally paid off at a church yard sale last May.
The four sets of dinner plates, salad plates, teacups and saucers, 3 bowls and sugar bowl cost me a grand total of $15!
The set had sat in a china cabinet so all the pieces were in mint condition.

Our office tea social was held on July 24th and celebrated the end of the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am Games and International Self-Care Day.
These cute Ikea mugs were a Christmas gift from a friend.
The herbal infusions and green teas were perfect for the summer weather.
Our tea time treats covered the essential food groups: fruits, vegetables, grains and chocolate.
I'm joining the following parties this week:
Oh...Margie! What a find!
ReplyDeleteThese rose tea cups are beyond
beautiful...and how wonderful
That they're in top condition still...:)
I bet sipping tea from them must be
lovely!
Have the most wonderful and blessed
day further, dear Margie! Hugs!
What a lucky find, Margie, and the price was unbelievable! I have one teacup that I found because I loved Sandi's so much. It's such a pretty pattern, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteYour office tea party looks like a hit! Those IKEA mugs are darling, too, and what a nice selection of tea to enjoy.
What a beautiful find - the rose teacups are so pretty. And I love the idea of including chocolate as a food group. Yes!
ReplyDeleteHa! Ha! Yes, chocolate is an essential food group, isn't it? Your Ikea mugs are very cute but you know I am loving your Rose Chintz! I cannot think of another pattern that charms me as much as this one. I'm certain it isn't just the pretty pattern either. I associate it with such fond childhood memories. Always a pleasure to have you join me for tea, Margie. Have a wonderful week.
