Beautiful blue and white is always pretty and fresh. By now, anyone who has visited me very often, knows my love of blue and white, toiles of different colors and designs and vintage pieces to treasure.
Today's tea is set just for two with the company of my blue and white rooster tea pot.
To set our mood I display this gorgeous cross stitch handmade by my dear friend Stephanie of Angelic Accents. I have many pieces gifted in her beautiful and talented work and this one is surely cherished. Soft light yellow teapot and cup with blue heart all framed in a rustic blue barn wood frame. So Tuscan or Frenchy for my kitchen or dining room.
Displayed with a sweet little light blue and white teacup and saucer, pot of roses and a beautiful appliqued teapot towel and blue and white.
I love the phrase Stephanie cross stitched with the lovely tea set.
So with our pretty inspiration, I share our Tuesday Tea.
Tea today will be served using this sweet rooster tea pot in blue and white.
One of my favorite cups is this gorgeous Spode set.
Another is this pretty blue and white Elizabethan set.
Tea bags holders, in a blue and white design was a great find a few years ago from Pier 1 Import.
On a trip to Home Goods last year, I found these oval lunch plates with country village and roosters. They make the perfect plate for tea and cookies, lunch or snacks.
While treasure hunting, I found this darling porcelain, blue and white hinged teapot to hold tea bags or sugar packets.
Sugar cookies with vanilla icing and pink sugar glitter is our treat today. Served on a pretty blue and white plate.
Still very Hot outside, but tea indoors is comfy and cool. Thank you for coming to visit.

Lovely tea today.

Hi Celestina Marie,
Well that is so hot and must be nice staying cool in your AC home. Phew!
I love your beautiful blue and white china, the Spode set is really sweet.
Also love the gorgeous cross stitch from your friend Stephanie.

Accipicchia, non riesco a trovare il traduttore!!!! Quello che ho visto nel tuo post è semplicemente MERAVIGLIOSO!!!! Baci,Anna.
Hello Celestina Marie,
thank you for showing all the sweet things. Can't tell you what I love most. All are so romantic and nice. And the words from Philip Brooks are so true.
Best greetings, Johanna
Celestina ,your post make me feel so at home! Of course you know I love Roosters,so your teapot and lunch plates just has me swooning!
I hope you stay cool my friend. We finally got some rain in Myrtle Beach. But it is still in the 90's here!
Your tea pots & tea cups are absolutely beautiful!! I too love tea pots but know what????.... I do not like tea in any form. Neither hot or iced!! I sometimes think I am the only one on these blogs that doesn't like it. I am a coffee girl (only hot).
So-o-o-o... I use my tea pots in collectable displays!!

Oh, my! So many pretties! I love blue and white and cross stitch! The little hinged teapot used to hold tea bags is wonderful! Fun and eye pleasing post! Happy Tea Day!
I love the quote you ended with...I'm writing it in my journal today! I hope you stay inside and stay cool! Enjoy your day and make some iced tea! ♥♥♥
Hello dear friend,
What a welcoming tea you have set for us today. So many pretties! I adore your blue Spode teacup and of course I love the roosters. The hinged pot is simply adorable and the blue rose teacup is lovely too. I find blue and white is so charming; loved your post!
I wish you could send some of the heat our way! Thank you for joining me for tea today and have a fabulous week.
Blessings and hugs,

Sweet Girly...that WAS ME SCREAMING!!! Yep! You heard me all the way down there. I'm telling you the truth...my neighbors thought Mr. AGPMan had taken to beating his wifey! ACK! ACK! ACK!
I don't like critters or vermin or anything that slithers, slides, hops, crawls or RUNS! :(
Now...I'm loving your blue tea pretties. They always and forever remind me of my Momma! She loved Blue Onion Dishes and growing up that is all we ever ate upon!
Love you my talented friend~
Rebecca
Oh, I love it all, Celeste and can't believe it has been triple digits there!! Unbelievable that you gave us a tea party--you are so loving!!!

I've always liked blue tea cups. In fact, when I was married 31 years ago, our wedding china was a blue pattern. Me and the girls are taking time out regularly to have a cup of tea. It is very relaxing after a hectic day. Those sugar cookies look incredible. Thanks for sharing...I always love Tea Posts.

I have a dear friend who lives in Arlington...she said it was 109 today there! We were at 91, but I still drink hot tea! Lovely dishes, pretty linens. I also like blues and whites.Cookies look yummy. Happy August, tea friend.

Oh, I wish I was the one coming to tea. The blue and white is so pretty and classy! Love your spode cup.
Your cookies look delicious and make me what to reach through the screen and taste one. Better yet, I wish I could slip through the screen and pay you a visit! Maybe someday!
Hope you're having a good week, despite the awful heat!
Hugs to you!

Dearest Celestina Marie,
That is indeed pretty in blue. Love the cross stitching and its message and those delicate blue teacups. You found some matching treasures along the way. Always fun to find something special for taking back to our warm nest!
Love to you,
Mariette
I enjoyed your post today so much!
The blues for your tea party were lovely, and I like that although not a matching set, they all went together in complete harmony!! Loved
that rooster teapot!!
The little hand stitched picture is so sweet, too. You always know how to "put things together" just right!!
Have a fun week, even if not a cool one!!! It's HOT here, too!!
