OLD COUNTRY ROSES

Today I am enjoying a little
tea time by the fireplace and
some Sugar Cookies.  As
we approach Valentines Day,
I imagine there will be lots of
baking going on.


I decided to put out my "Old Country
Roses" china for a while to enjoy...



I enjoy the artist Nicole Sayre.
Though expensive, they sell very quickly.
 I just enjoy seeing each creation.
 My Nicole dolls (angels)are just
 the mass manufactured
 and
cheaper ones.









I am sure you are familiar with Old
Country Roses.  I got my pieces about
ten years ago from a lady who didn't want
them.  My husband thought it would
be nice for our 40th Anniversary.
I love that they are the
"English" ones too.

  1. Your OCR is perfect for a Valentine tea, Bernideen! I've always admired your Nicole Sayre dolls. I would love to have some myself. I wish I could join you for a cookie and a cup of tea. Thanks for hosting and have a wonderful week.

  8. I have always loved that set although I don't have it myself. One of my dear friends has the complete set and, when she was in her old house, used it everyday. I love when people do that!

    I love sugar cookies and now my mouth is watering for some homemade ones. If I want to treat myself to just one (so I don't eat a whole pile of them) I stop at Perkins. The Perkins closest to my house has the best sugar cookies I have ever eaten. xo Diana

    Thanks for the this inspiring tea party.

  14. Bernideen, I love the way you've displayed your OCR! I have just the teapot, creamer and sugar, four teacups and saucers - from the "made in England" years. I was going to use the photo of my teapot stamped shortbreads, but then I thought I'd use the photo with the red to go with your OCR!
