Sometimes it's nice to just set a tray and sit quietly enjoying peace and quiet.
Today I did just that, I played all day with dishes and ended up cleaning out numerous drawers.
I even organized my winter jumpers. They were scattered in different places during Summer.
Now they are all in one spot,freshly folded ready for Winter.
Now back to my tea tray. I am sipping on cinnamon and orange tea
made in my lovely little Sadler teapot.
The tray cloth and napkin was a thrift find many years ago,and just washes up as good as new each time it gets used, which is often. The napkin slides into the large flower on the left.
One of my most favourite china teacups
Friends are coming for lunch on Sunday
I wanted to include pink for Pink Saturday with Beverly,as I haven't visited for a while.
I made the napkin holders and pink napkins
I wanted to use a mix of china,and because it had a silver border,
I wanted some silver chargers.
I couldn't find any anywhere,so I purchased 4 white plastic one's with green flowers around the edge.
I just sprayed them silver. I think they look quite nice.
I am using my late mothers Noritake set. My brother bought it back from Vietnam in the 60's when he served in the Australian army there. I think it is so pretty.
Depression glass rose bowl
and pink French white wine glasses
I have teamed some of my Bridal dinner set to compliment the Noritake,as it didn't come with bowls or bread and butter plates
I am constantly on the look out for more pieces in this pattern.
I managed to find the salt and pepper shakers in Vinnies for $4
Pink depression glass candle holders
Thrift find vegetable dish
We all drink tea rather than coffee after lunch
We are having English Breakfast tea with cheese and fruit
I love the little fruit plates I found while on a recent hunt

Oh I love gray and pink together.
Thank you for your kind comments. You are such a blessing to me.
I will be having a Mother's Day giveaway this next Friday with glimpses of whats up for grabs all this week. :)
A lovely teable. I always think pink & grey complement each other beautifully. Haven't seen that Tetley tea before...went on the list! I love your china and I think the tablecloth with napkin pockets is a wonderful find! Thanks for sharing and thanks for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea! Have a great week!

Hi Jeanetteann,
What a lovely tea set and tablescape. I bet your lunch guests had a wonderful time and felt very special with such a beautiful setting. Love the combination of silver and pink. Great job. Happy May.
Hugs and Kisses,

The table looks so pretty! I love the tea for one china.
Beautiful! I love your Mom's dishes, and your fruit plate finds. Your setting is beautifu1! Visiting from Share your cup Thurs.
Such a pretty tea for one. It is so relaxing to sit with a pot of tea and slow down for awhile. Your table set for your guests look lovely. Everything goes so well together. My husband while he was in Viet Nam sent me a set of white china with silver edging. It must have been the thing to do back then!
Have a good week,
Nancy
Everything looks so romantic... I can only imagine how wonderful it is in person!
Blessings!

Hi Jenaetteann: I'm Connie at http://hotflashncraftn.blogspot.com/, your new GFC friend. I would love it if you stop by and be mine, too.
You have some gorgeous tea sets. I'm so jealous. I collected once, lost them by leaving them with one of my children, "it's only stuff" she said. I have 1 McCoy, now. Anyways, we do dress-up tea parties every time I visit my grandchildren. Thank you for sharing...
What a pleasure it is to look at your table scape. It is soft and romantic looking. The cool colors are so calming.
Thanks for sharing it with us!
Blessings,
Susie

Seriously love your china. Adore those colours of pink and grey, so elegant. Thanks for sharing. Cheers SpecialK XoXo
Wow, if I'm having tea by myself it would not be so fancy, but that looks so relaxing - maybe I need to pamper myself sometime. You have such beautiful collections! I love the Nosegay pattern. Thanks for linking up.
Such beautiful images.

What a lovely post, Jeanetteann. Your china is beautiful. I have several Sadler teapots for sale n my shop. They are so pretty.
Dearest Jeanetteann,
That is a lovely table setting! Compliments to your brother for belonging to those that served and that therefore know about discipline.
This day was my husband's birthday, that's why I went back in time to read this post too.
Love to you,
Mariette
Such a lovely table with the pink and gray. Your tea tray is beautiful too, very pretty pieces you have.
