Welcome to my Tea Cup Tuesday #2





























Please come in....would you like to join me in the Sitting room or are you more comfortable in the Dining room?

Today I am sharing with you not a tea cup..but my chocolate pot & six cups & saucers.

This lovely set was given to me by my Husband last year for my 51st birthday. I had admired it in an Antique shop while we were on vacation and to my surprise I received it for my birthday the following month. (should not really be surprised as he does this all of the time)

The set is bone china and is marked H & co. L France with letters E.L.W. on the pieces. Each cup & saucer have different delicate flowers and my photos do not do it justice. I have the set displayed in our Dining room and smile ever time I pass it by.

Have a great rest of the week..


Hugs..

Wanda

  1. Hi Wanda :) I would be comfortable in either room, as each is so lovely. Your chocolate set is beautiful! I have an Antique set that we purchased at an estate sale, gosh, at least 17 years ago. I should do it as one of my Teacup Tuesday posts sometime :) I've enjoyed my visit with you, and I look forward to coming back again soon!

    Happy Teacup Tuesday!! Warmest Always, Brenda

  12. Thank you Ladies for stopping in today..I love entertaining guests!
    Lynn the wool floral rugs came from a 1927 house in our area..they were rolled in plastic in the attic and looked like new. We had them cut and bound to size. I love them too!
    Enjoy the rest of your day!
