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.
I just enjoy seeing each creation.
My Nicole dolls (angels)are just
the mass manufactured
and
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.
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.

ReplyDeleteYou amaze me with your energy,always rearranging your china. I love every set you have and they look so good in your open china cabinet.
I'm sure you will be baking up a storm for Valentine's Day
I won't be purchasing any of the Nicole Sayre dolls either.I do love all your mass produced dolls.
I haven't made tea in my newest antique cups yet. So glad to join in today
Hi dear Bernideen!Thanks for hosting!Your cupboard is breathtaking!!!Wonderful teapots and teacups!Pretty angels dolls too.Have a lovely day,hugs!Maristella.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful collection of Old Country Roses dear friend ! One of my fav patterns, but I only have a three tier server and a platter I bought in Madrid.
Thanks for the this inspiring tea party.
Hugs,

Hi Bernideen,
ReplyDeleteI love your Royal Albert Old Country Rose collection. It's perfect for Valentine's Day and looks amazing on your pink shelf (swoon - love that pink shelf). I do prefer those tea sets Made in England too. Thank you for hosting Friends Sharing Tea! Blessings! Karen

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!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely Valentine's display! Old Country roses was my "wedding china" over 20 years ago. I think its beauty is timeless:) This would be such a great post to share with us over at Vintage Charm Party #119! Hope to see you there, here's the link (or you can just go to my blog's home page):

ReplyDeleteI love your pink china hutch! I clicked on the post, and once I realized it was also a linky party, I couldn't resist. My hutch has 2 valentine teacups in it...
