I love this China pattern. Simple and sweet. And look what's inside the cup with the tea. Some choose to take their tea with cream and sugar, some with only cream, some with only sugar, and some like their tea plain. Then there are those who like lemon, with or without sugar. How fun it would be to serve a cup of tea and top it with a small flower, an unexpected and delightful surprise.

Now that is a pretty pattern Arleen!
Do you have the matching saucer?
I am not strick in life but... I do HAVE to HAVE the matching plate or I will not buy it.
You might ask why - well its because when I have afternoon tea with the full cakes, sandwiches etc I like to have the right plate that matches the cup and saucer. I have a mix of patterns but ... for some strange reason I have to have the 3 matching!
I know - "nuts" but there you are!

Hi Arleen, I love tea and it is very special to add a sweet flower from time to time. Recently a dear friend made us some cupcakes for Easter and she used lavender icing and topped each with a puple pansy. It was beautiful.
I love your tea cup and the pattern is very pretty and delicate.
Tea always tastes better in a pretty tea cup.
Have a beautiful evening my friend,
Hugs, Celestina Marie
