Snowy sleighride of long ago.
I want to hide in their sleigh and never get out.
Those were the days!  My grandparents lived in
this era in Eastern Kentucky.

 
Absolutely gorgeous chandelier!
 
 


 
Do you collect cardinal design dishes?  I do...just beautiful!

 

These are the snowy nights that send

 blankets of winter  white to warm your soul.

Everydays' a Tea Party

                                   The Tea Set

     Betty has started her own very unique Tea Set. 
She is asking for donations of china cups and
saucers to put together a truly unique and eclectic
collection.

     This will not just be a collection of china, but a
collection of stories.

     The collection has been started by Betty Ayers,
with more donated or pledged.

     The idea is to have a storyboard at each tea
party which will have pictures of the teacups and saucers and the stories behind them.

     When you attend or host your own tea party with tea consultant
Belle Ayers Tea Party, you will be able to check out the story behind
the cup and saucer you are using, or perhaps inspireing a few stories
of your own?

     The Tea Set is beginning to take on a colorful, eclectic life of it's own
now...if you would like to donate a cup and saucer AND the story behind it, any size, adult or child's ceramic and any seaseon or holiday (the child size will be used for Tea Tasting Parties, just the right size)...please email belleayers@gmail.com or bring your donation along to the next tea!

     Each person who donates a cup and saucer receives a gift certificate!

     Thank you!

Teacup Tuesday April 3, 2012


Teacup Tuesday ~  April 3, 2012

  This beautiful English Rose teacup & saucer, purchased at TJ MAX is
the first pattern I truly want to collect.  I have others but this one is beautiful
and pink!  Made by Roy Kirkham, England fine bone china.  The only difference
is that my teacup has a gold ring around the bottom of the teacup.  Photo...an
exclusive design, Footed, ribbed and no trim.

Write it on your heart

Write it on your heart
that every day is the
best day in your year.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Snow

All this beautiful snow makes me feel warm inside, and desire to cook some good old fashioned food.  So, the pinto beans are on and meatloaf will soon be in the oven.

What is your favorite snowy day meal?

Stay safe and drive carefully,
Betty

Beautiful Winter Wonderland

From the porch...
the scenery is wonderous.  Our 3 dogwood trees heavely laden with snow in the form of balls.  I must buy a new cell phone for taking pictures.  Wish you could see it from the porch.
