Welcome to another Tea Time Tuesday as I join the list of participants hosted by dear Sandi of Rose Chintz Cottage.As I mentioned in my last tea time post, I found a few tea cup pretties while treasure hunting on vacation.
This pretty trio in a gorgeous rose design was marked anniversary on the makers mark and perfect to celebrate our special trip. The great surprise was I found 2 sets of the trio. They look wonderful with my Churchill black and white dishes.
On my treasure hunt I also found this darling hand painted Lefton cup. The design and color was so pretty, the pedestal style and delicate strokes are a favorite of mine when I find them. As I looked closer, I noticed it all alone on a shelf, no saucer and no matching pieces. Well, you know what happened next. Priced at only 4 dollars, this little darling had to find it's way home with me.
Once home, among my dish collection, I found a saucer that made the perfect little coordinated finish to this lonely beauty. Now complete and at home in my kitchen hutch.
Today's tea is a welcome break and perfect to enjoy with the latest addition of Tea Time Magazine. And, on page 7 is our latest ad with Shabby Cottage Shops.
Inspired by the tea cups this week, I designed this tea bag keeper using an old keepsake box. This little treasure will fill the shelves HERE soon.
Thank you for stopping by for tea. Your visits and comments are always welcome.
See you soon and till then, I'll be elbow deep in my studio working on special treasures and preparing for the season to follow.
In the meantime, Thoughts and prayers go out to all our friends on the east coast affected by the hurricane over the weekend. God Bless you all.

Hi Celestina!
So sorry I took long to visit you. I have been a bit busy with personal matters,but everything is good now. You really do have such great taste. I looove your tea set and that box is to die for. I still have the cute pink bottle you gave me for our swap and keep it on display. It's so pretty. And when Christmas comes I can't wait to put the cute snowman ornament you gave me. I treasure it. Hope you have a beautiful and happy week.

Hello dear Celestina,
Your teacups are such pretty things and don't you just love finding little beauties like that on your holidays? You've done well with your finds. The tea bag holder is gorgeous and such a pretty box to keep your tea bags in.
We fared well through the hurricane. It did break off some of my flowers but no harm came to our house so we're very thankful for that.
It's always a pleasure to have you join me for tea, my sweet friend. Enjoy your day.
Blessings,
Sandi
Though I adore a beautiful tea cup set, I must admit quite easily, I adore your workmanship more. I love waiting for your next painted pretty to scoop up and eagerly wait on from the mailman! I love the first set you displayed- soft and pretty. Hugs. Tammy

Hello Celestina
Pretty teacups and the new orphan looks very happy to be at your home, very pretty itself.
The little tea box you made is sweet, feminine looking and serviceable.

Your newest tea treasures are lovely. I adore how they look with your black and white dishes. Blissful week to you...
I love the black and white dishes, and the pink rose tea cup goes beautifully with it. I have been taking time out each day to enjoy a cup of tea. It can be very soothing after a hectic day. The English have the right idea. I just love tea time.

Very pretty tea cups and I love the Tea Time magazine! What beautiful illustrations! ♥
$4? Oh! No way would I have left it in the shop either! :-)
I hope your new temperatures are a welcome relief! I guess even the 90s must seem "cooler" to you!!
Although I wish some of the water left here on the east coast could come your way very gently....
Hugs, Diane
Beautiful tea cups, Celestina!!
Love the colors and the patterns!!
hugs,
Debbie
They are all so pretty.
I never cease to have my day beautified by a visit to your blog. Your tea treasures are stunning...SO totally beautiful.
And that teabag keeper, oh, it's lovely...so pretty and feminine. You definitely are a creative and talented gal.
Have a lovely evening.

These are so gorgeous! I followed your link to the charming tea party too, how fun!
You sure found some treasures on your little getaway! The teacups go great with your black and white.
The lone cup looks great on it's new base. It came together perfectly.
Your new design is so sweet for tea bags. You'll probably sell a lot of those.
Hope you've had a good week so far. It's probably not any cooler there..nor here!
We are suppose to get a little cooler at the beginning of next week. We look forward to it!
Take care and hugs to you!
You are certainly a lucky gal to have found such lovely tea cups. Isn't it exciting to find these wonderful treasures? I just love to go treasure hunting, if possible would go daily. Lovely post as always. Hugs...Lu
Oh I love the set in the 2nd and 3rd pics! My mom has a teacup that is covered with pink rosebuds , she keeps it for me cause she knows I love it and use it every time I go to her house.
BTW, Trigger is doing better -- he is walking and playing fine but he is still healing. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers!
