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

    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

    What a truly delightful post! I love your parlour and dining room and they are SO Victorian 1885!! I enlarged the pic and the floral rug is a real treasure of a find!
    The chocolate set is exquisite and your husband sure knows how to buy a birthday gift that's for sure!!

    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!
