Two For Tea- Or Three-Or Four-Or Five- Or- WHAT? How many?

Don't you think this
is beautiful?
It is probably my favorite~
at least for the moment.
Do you remember when I showed
you Ruth's cabinet filled with teapots 
the other day? You can see it here
Several of you expressed
an interest in teapots and
asked for a closer look.

So-I snapped some quick pictures
of some of her teapots.
I didn't take them out of the cabinet
so you will have to take what you get here!
I am SO nice, aren't I?

Take a peek at a few of them.
Did you notice that about half of the teapots
have porcelain trivets under them?
I don't think I ever saw these before.
They are as pretty as the teapots.
Here's a close up of three of them.
This set has two matching cups-
Ruth sure does like PRETTY, doesn't she?
She has MANY pretty things.
Remember when I said she willingly gave me things?
I am drawn to things that are a bit offbeat.
(which explains why I married MyHero)
Well...look at this sweet little thing!
Guess what!!!!
While you are making tea
I will be 
Warming My Buns-
And NO! I am NOT sitting on a heating pad-
Thanks for asking!
Hope you have a great day.
Back with more staging pictures tomorrow.

  3. These are beautiful. I like the trivets too, what a good idea. That bun warmer looks very useful. It would need to be considerably larger if I was warming my buns!

  5. Diana, Those teapots are so beautiful. I have never seen the trivets before that matched. Sweet. That bun warmer sure brings back memories for me. The lady that was my guardian angel, had one. Some times when she served me breakfast at her house she would warm us some sweet rolls and give me a cup of Postum...does anyone remember Postum. I think it was a grain coffee.Thank you Diana for this post. xoxo,Susie

  6. such beautiful tea pots, I have never saw the china trivets before, you will have toasty warm buns with that device, it looks like it must be from the 50's or sixties,

  16. Gorgeous teapots. I don't think I've ever seen the trivets that match the teapots. But then, by the time the teapots get to a garage or estate sale or flea market, the trivets are probably already gone! LOL

  18. You can keep the bun warmer. I'd must rather have a tea pot. And really - I only began liking tea pots when I had grand daughter come along wanting to tea party. And... well.... someone has to help them eat all of those sweet treats... right?

  19. I love teapots! There is something about them... They whisper... come over, sit down, relax and chat.
    And... would you like another?
    Cookie?

    Have a wonderful weekend Diana!

    Hugs,

  29. oh such beauty!
    my favorite... the lilac one with the cups.
    i knew a lady once who collected china tea cups. she had tons of them. each one different.
    whenever she had a party for the ladies... she set all the cups on a beautiful lace clothed round table. you could choose your own cup and saucer for the evening.
    fun! and a perfect ice breaker! everybody compared their cups!

  38. a bun warmer, hehe. I'll make us some tea and you warm the buns and we have us a fabulous English tea party...

  39. So reminds me of my mama....she and a friend owned a tea room back in the late '90s, and hosted little girl etiquette parties, birthday parties, bridal showers, etc. Little girls were her favorite though....mama collected china cups and saucers as well as tea pots. The birthday girl got to choose which pot would be used at her party, and all the party goers would pick which cup and saucer they would use for the afternoon. Mom also had an entire room filled with dress up clothes, hats and accessories. Each party goer gor her picture with in her 'get up' holding her tea cup in front of an old antique dresser.

    Thankfully, mom kept all that china and my sister and I will be dividing it up for our own granddaughters someday. :)
