Hello everyone,
                              Since I have done a few pastel tea times lately I thought I would share
                              a red and white theme for this Valentine's Day tea.
                                 As many of you know I have been collecting red and white transferware
                                 dishes for several years now and my collection slowly keeps growing.It
                                 is a mix and match of several patterns. The tea cups are Vista by Mason.
                                 The ginger cookies are also on a little Vista plate.
                                  The beautiful red roses are so pretty in the transferware pitcher.
                               Maybe, you have noticed that the crochet curtains are also mix and
                               match. The ones you see here are in the middle window and are
                               actually a long pair of valences but I think they work well for now.
                               All the curtains are the same color(golden ecru) but a little different
                               pattern and all were bought at thrift shops over time. I think if I am
                               patient sooner or later I find just the right little treasure!
                                This beautiful covered veggie dish was a sweet gift from a friend. The
                                pitcher behind was also a gift from another friend a few years ago.
                                Both are treasures to me ~ the friends and the gifts!
                                 Love the richness of these red roses ~ a symbol of love!





                                           A simple tablescape set for some family visitors.



                        Hope you are enjoying your week ~ do you have any special plans
                                   for Valentine's Day?

                                  I am joining Rose Chintz Cottage for Tea Time Tuesday
