WAITING FOR PANSIES for "Friends Sharing Tea"

Are you looking forward to spring pansies?
I know we are!

We were out yesterday changing our
bird feeders.  We removed 3 regular
feeders and replaced them with
the squirrel resistant type.


I also saw a little of the  earliest
 signs of spring.

We aren't there quite yet though and
I long to see some pansies so for
now I replaced the violet items in
my armoire with my pansy pieces.



I was surprised I didn't have more
pieces and only two teapots.

Little Pansy Faces
a Poem by Marilyn Lott

When I see those Pansy faces
They always makes me smile
In spring they are so welcome
And I look at them awhile.

They snuggle in with others
And play so nicely too
Ah yes, little Pansy faces
I will be glad to share with you!




I do recall finding this one
 at an antique mall in
 Higginsville, Mo
last year.




I can't imagine crocheting these
old pansy doilies that I love - when
they are certain themes and colors:











And I do hope the pansies will be here soon!

  1. Love your pansy theme, Bernideen! One day a couple of years ago, we were at the green house picking out posies and we were looking at the pansies when this salesgirl came up and said, "Oh, those sweet little faces! Don't they just look like they are smiling at you?" Then she stood there and shivered all over with excitement, giggling. I understood but Hubby thought she was a little strange, I think, by the look he gave me. It was pretty funny! We did buy some and they bloomed all summer. You have a lovely display of china and the doilies are really sweet! Thank you for the party.

The pansy edged doilies look familiar...I have some my grandma made displayed for Easter too! xoxo I finally posted something on my blog, so hop, hop, hop on over! :)

  3. Hey Bernideen... What a lovely display of pansy china ...I do love those “ Happy” little faces... I , also enjoy seeing your sweet china amoire take on new seasonal looks .. this months' is especially cheery... I’m always drawn to the vintage pieces and swoon over all the Victorian eye candy ... somehow those pieces always have a story to tell... and I love the shape of the little creme jug ... I’m always on the look out for pretty tea strainers like your little porcelain one. Soon , you will be able to sit in your garden and enjoy your tea.... HUGS

  4. Pretty photos, Bernidene, and the pansy theme. Cute feeders too! But is so funny that they have to be squirrel resistant! I wonder how long it will be before they figure it out? xoxo Su

  5. You have such pretty pansy pieces, Bernideen, and I especially love the first teacup with the pansy on the handle...how sweet! Your shelves look so beautiful. I do love that crocheted piece, too. Pansies are out here in Texas right now, and many last through the winter. I don't dare plant them in the ground any more, because the bunnies have a meal out of them.
    Thank you for hosting and happy first week of Spring!
