This winter I have been enjoying a
lovely large book I purchased from
one of the online used book groups.
In the dreariness of winter -
it is a delight! I also invite
you to join me for a cup of
tea and I am enjoying 2 new
teacups and a fun clock I
want to share with you.
But first - isn't this photo of Monet's
garden ever so lovely and are you
feeling any
garden inspiration?

I was imaging being a young
adult who could "intern" here.
You could learn so much in
this garden.

I wanted to share that I got the pretty
teacups for just $4.00 each. My husband
was running an errand and saw an
estate sale. We hadn't planned to go
the first 2 days as it rained both days.
Evidently they decided to go a 3rd day
and when he saw it, he stopped. It seems
the rain had kept away the teacup
lovers so he got them at 1/2 price.

The cup on the right is a Royal
Chelsea with Roses and

the green one is an Old

Then there is the fun little clock
you see. My friend Janice looked at
it in a booth at an antique mall last
Saturday but she put it back. I made sure
she wasn't wanting it and she said no so
I said I would buy it as I loved the little
china piece from Germany.
So should you have nothing in mind
to dream about tonight I share one
last photo from my book:
What a pretty tea today, my friend, and yes, the book is ever so lovely! The teacups are so pretty, and that clock....darling!!! Thank you for hosting your party. I guess it's about time to unwind from our birthday month.
ReplyDeleteYour clock is darling, Bernideen! Such pretty teacups too. Monet's Garden is a wonder! One to get lost in for sure. I'm not a gardener but I do love gardens and flowers. Fresh flowers in one's home always bring a smile and their beauty; contentment. It's wonderful that your hubby appreciates vintage treasures too. It's lots more fun to go treasure hunting when Hubby shares your hobby. Thanks for the party and always inspiring us with your pretties.
ReplyDeleteMonet’s Garden is full of inspiration! What lovely teacups. And such a pretty clock.

What lovely teacup finds. Now I am dreaming of Monet's garden. I have had the opportunity to visit this garden twice and I feel thankful for that wonderful memory.
ReplyDeleteOMG Bernideen Didn’t you have fun at the antique mall.... The little clock has such personality... and the teacups were a real buy( such a thoughtful husband)... They fit your Monet theme perfectly...May I please have my tea in Old Royal Green teaset... It will seem like a sip of Springtime. Thanks for the gardening inspiration....Hugs
ReplyDeleteHi dear Bernideen!Your finds are stunning!Great treasures!The clock is adorable.Here those teacups cost six to tenfold more than you paid for them!!!Gorgeous teapot.Love the embroidery tablecloth and the sweet figurine too.Your book looks wonderful...Thanks for hosting,hugs!
ReplyDeleteYour clock is really cute, I am glad you got it. It looks a bit like a Staffordshire piece. :) Your teacups are pretty too! And the gardens in your book are fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteThose pretty teacups were a great score! We don't seem to have as many estate sales here...or maybe I just don't know how to find them. Thank you for hosting and enjoy the last day of February!
ReplyDeleteBernideen, that book is gorgeous! I would spend hours drooling over it. Your new teacups are fabulous as well. I passed up three beauties at Home Goods today. Not vintage of course, but so pretty. I just have way too many dishes. :)
ReplyDeletehugs,

Bernideen, I love Monet. And you sounded just like me when you were contemplating a younger you interning at the garden! Love your new teacups AND the fact that it was your sweet husband who found them.
ReplyDeleteThose two teacups are adorable, they were a great find!
ReplyDeleteThat clock pot is wonderful. I can see why you couldn't pass it up. Thanks for hosting your lovely party.
