Taking a Bit of Tea Time
To say I am busy these days would be putting it mildly. Autumn seems to speed things up for me…so much to do and plan for. But, for now, I am taking a tea break. Please join me.
I am American born and so proud of it but a part of my heart belongs to, and always has, England. I look forward to the Victoria edition on England every year.
I won’t eat all that cinnamon bun. Ha. I have a Cocker and a Yorkie who will help me. They only get teeny tiny little bits. ;-)
This blue and white teacup is among my favorites….heheh, oh, goodness, I love all my teacups. What pleasure it is to drink from a beautiful cup and saucer. To stop for a few minutes and reflect. Pure bliss.

Trovo questa tazzina delicatissima!Rosetta
ReplyDeleteHello Barb! Gorgeous post. I tried to reply via email - wouldn't go through. If you're asking about my A Return to Loveliness party - that post will be up at 5 PM EST - about 30 minutes :)
ReplyDeleteI was late in getting my post up to share with Cielo's party - Show Off Your Cottage Monday.
Looking forward to seeing your post there soon!
Thank you,
Kathy
Hi Barb,
ReplyDeletenice to join you for a break. Your tea cup is lovely and the cinnamon buns look great. I am sure your little dogs love the party, too.
Best greetings, Johanna
Oh tea with cinnamon bun on that pretty cup is all I need! Just a beautiful post. Your four legged friends must've had a great party too. Have a nice week. Hugs, FABBY
ReplyDeleteI really like the simple elegance of the teacup you're using today. My dog is usually waiting for bits of my tea sweets too. :-)

Stopping to breathe is good for all of us! I have enjoyed my little bit of down time even though it is because I am not feeling too good:) The Lord knows how to give us a break when we won't give ourselves one! Enjoy your warm tea:) HUGS!
ReplyDeleteOh how lovely. Everything looks amazing. I love the pretty blue and white teacup and the bun on the silver tray. What a great way to enjoy a little refreshment and read a good book and relax. Fabulous. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, marty
ReplyDeleteHello Barb,
ReplyDeleteYour teacup is as cute as can be! I love everything about it from the shape of the cup to the slightly scalloped saucer to the dainty motif on it. A lovely cup to sip tea from. Thank you for sharing it with us today and enjoy your week.
Blessings,
Sandi
My Bentley shares my toast every morning. He is very unhappy with me if I have a bowl of oatmeal instead. And, I have been known, if truth be told, to toast him a piece even if I am having oatmeal. Shhh, our secret!
ReplyDeleteI have a cup of tea every evening.
I am so excited to get my carolers. I know they aren't the same as Byers...but I think they will be really nice. VPH did have a Thanksgiving one last year...but it must be discontinued...I love her things and have quite a few. So does Liz from Rose Vignettes.
Barb your cup is beautiful. My mouth is watering for a bite of a cinnamon bun.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to visit with you for tea and a chat! Wouldn't that be wonderful?! I am though, used to drinking my tea in the evening in my PJ's...is it okay to come like that? ;-D
ReplyDeleteI love the pretty teacup and silver tray!
XO,
Jane
Breathing is good! I've actually taken the past 2 days off of all the busy work, but will have to kick it back in gear tomorrow. We all need to take a break sometimes!
ReplyDeleteTea Time with you is always nice. I love cinnamon rolls too! Busy days will only get busier now as the Holidays approach. There is so much to get ready here at my house. September will soon be over. Hope you enjoyed that break.
ReplyDeleteHello Barb,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your delicious tea break with me this week at A Return to Loveliness - so very glad you did!
Hope you have a blessed week,
Kathy
Another beautiful teacup Barb. I had to laugh at your tea buddies. Every morning Bear and I share one vanilla double stuff oreo cookie. I dip mine in my coffee and he takes his straight. I think if I missed a day he just might go on strike! I'm sure it's not the best think in the world for him but a little cookie happiness can't be beat. Enjoy your break, Patty
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tea! Love the teacup ... the design is so dainty. Something about blue that is so calming!
ReplyDeleteNothing like a relaxing cup of tea and a danish.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Barb,
ReplyDeleteI like the casual charm of your teacup; it just looks friendly! I'm off to put the kettle on now...

Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment--had to return the visit. Your blog header is beautiful. I was just sitting down with tea myself and reading about your tea cup was a nice touch to my day. I did a post myself about a tea cup collection. If you're interested, you can find it at http://highpointcircle.blogspot.com/2011/08/teacups-firearms.html. I'm a follower now too. Can't wait to see your next post.
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by to say hello. Richard from Amish Stories.
ReplyDeleteA lovely tea break Miss Barb -- I loved that issue of Victoria :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings!

Barb, Lovely tea tray with your beautful tea cup. I'm a huge fan of Victoria magazine and I, like you am a proud American but also an Anglophile. Must be in my genes. :)Enjoy your tea. What is your favorite flavor/brand? Have you tried Twinning's Prince of Wales?
ReplyDeleteLovely post Barb. hugs ~lynne~
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling Barb. I feel like I am meeting myself coming and going!
ReplyDeleteI love the English issues too! Your cup is so sweet! Everybody needs to enjoy a bit of time out. Especially if you're so busy!
ReplyDeleteHi Barb,
ReplyDeleteOh your teacup is just lovely. The colors are among my favorites too. I can so relate to being crazy busy. It seems to be earlier this season. Taking time for a cup of tea in such a pretty cup makes the day a little better I think.
Thank you for sharing your tea moment.
Have a great evening.
hugs, Celestina Marie
