Morning tea in pink glass


One of my passions is pink depression glass
I love it, especially when the light shines through it.
Today we are taking morning tea in the sun room,as the Spring sunshine is lovely
That is until this afternoon,when a windy bit of wild weather is forecast


We are having Tulsi blend Indian tea with pomegranate and green

Fresh sliced pears and orange


With yoghurt


                                                                           
                               Orange cake, this cake is a firm texture as it's made with the whole
                                                 orange,peel and everything and is quite delicious.








I even like washing up when I use nice glassware or china,
I like to touch it  and look at it, it's so pretty.






I so love Freesias, a dear friend gave them to me from her garden
for my birthday,they smell so beautiful




They look so sweet in my cherub vase

I did so enjoy today's morning tea.
I hope you did too

Hi Jeanetteann,
Your pink depression glass tea set is beautiful.
It would be very special having afternoon tea using these pieces.
My Mum loves freesias too.
Have a good week

You have a lovely collection of pink depression glass. I am always drawn to it when I see it at an antique store. It's just a a matter of time before I cave in & buy some.

Very pretty pink depression glass! I have a dessert tray in it somewhere. I forgot all about it! Your floral arrangement is pretty and what a unique vase!

I love your pink glass dishes! A wonderful collection. They always shout summer to me. I love freesias as well. We lived once in an area where I could grow them, and had them in tubs around the stairs into the house. Such a lovely fragrance! Thanks for sharing and linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

How wonderful to have a great pink depression collection! The serving bowl with the sweet spoon is my favorite. I love your spring flowers in the angel and glass vase so sweet! It is great to see the change of seasons in Australia.

Thanks, Pam

Jeanetteann, I sure needed that little break for a spot of tea. How sweet of you to share your fruit, cake and tea with us in that lovely glassware! Like you, I don't mind washing up such lovelies. It's just another way to enjoy them. Nicely done!

I don't collect it, but pink is my fav depression glass. SO delicate and pretty. I enjoy washing my pretty things too! Kinda crazy. I suppose it should be all the same! The orange cake looks luscious!

Zuni, Chickadee Home Nest said...

I love pink Depression glass too, so I immediately wanted to pop over to see yours! Your recipes sound wonderful, especially that orange cake! I hope you'll share the recipe some day. My MIL gave me her 4 cups and 2 saucers in Cherry Blossom, by Jeannette Glass. I must find 2 more saucers, but I've used 2 for tea with a friend, and did a post on it too! Hope you'll visit back! ~Zuni

Diane Mars said...

Beautiful Pink Depression Glass, I collect jadeite and the Pink Glass sure pops with it! Thanks for paying me a visit, I do sell my Paper Posy Dolls they are in my Etsy Shop. I am now your newest follower, Happy Belated Birthday my dear~ Hugs, Diane

RachelD said...

I don't know what the pink glass reminds me of---calm moments and childhood tea parties and best dresses and gloves, perhaps, with the prospect of a lovely time with friends. It's such a charming table you set, and so welcoming and sweet.

There's just SOMETHING about that clear pink . . .
