  15. Thanks for visiting me! And for inviting me to visit you! I love your tea sets, especially the children's set. I had a tiny one when I was a child, but in all our moving it was lost. I've been sad about that ever since! My husband bought one similar and gave it to me a few years ago! Thanks for inviting us into your lovely home!

  18. Your tea items are beautiful! My favorite is the tiny cup with the hand painted birds nest on it! I have the very same children's dresser! Mine is missing the top drawer but a pretty vintage linen covers it, I never thought to display a tiny tea set on it! May I borrow your idea? Lovely post!

  19. Miss Sandy, please feel free to use my idea! I love my little dresser. I have had it since I was about 4.

    I saw one just like it in an article in a magazine several years ago--I think it was Home Companion. I have never seen another one...

    Everything is lovely, but I especially like the tea cart with everything set up for tea. It's obvious that you are ready to provide tea at a moment's notice. This certainly speaks a lot about your sense of hospitality. I hope friends visit you often. Old Country Roses is one of my favorite patterns.
