Vintage Alphabet Party and Tea Things on Tuesday. . .

















Hello, dear friends! Today I am participating in the Etsy Cottage Style Vintage Alphabet Party. The letters for this month are "E" and "F". For "E" I chose to show my English breakfast set and Enchanting children figurines. For "F" I chose Flowers. Almost all of the roses in my garden are old garden roses. To see other participants in the vintage alphabet party, please go here: http://etsycottagestyle.blogspot.com/ To see the tea party participants, please visit my friends, Martha and Sandi, by going here: http://www.marthasfavorites.com/ and http://sandimyyellowdoor.blogspot.com/
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."~Maya Angelou
Thank you for your kind visit. I hope you have a beautiful week!

Jil~Say It With Roses said...

Hello Vicki,
I wanted to pop in and say "Hi" as I am finally back after a four + month hiatus. I hope you will come by for a visit.
Your tea cups and so sweet. I love yellows and I love the color with pinks...I could live in your rose garden. Mine is a work in progress and I am on a hunt for the old English rose Eden.
Many blessing,
Jil

The Quintessential Magpie said...

Vicki, I love all of your pictures! What fun to have tea on that pretty tea set in a rose garden! :-)

Your little children? I couldn't believe it, but my MIL has those same children in her library shelves! I love them!

Just checking in to say, "hi" and that I hope you have a good week. We are still working on our property in St. A., but I had to take a break from the workmen, come home, and get on the computer for a change. I don't have access there so it's fun to do some catching up. After I blog this morning, I head there to supervise more work. Hopefully, I will get back to regular blogging soon. I miss all of you.

Have a super weekend!

XO,

Sheila :-)
