I am so glad you could stop by for a visit and a warm cup of tea!! I have one of my cheerful red chairs just waiting for you. Don't you love these cute embroidered kitten pillows? I think they are so sweet. I have one of these pillows on each of my red chairs. I have a plate of delicious cookies for you fresh from the oven. I have chosen one of my favorite handpainted pots with creamer and sugar. All three are covered in pretty pink roses. You might also notice my baby shoes. These were mine that I wore as a little girl. They are made from felt and are close to 59 years old. You also see a vintage tea and toast set also painted with roses. On the back of each piece there are these words: "Original-Designed Handpainted (1945) Irene M. Marshall of California". What is amazing is that Mrs. Marshall is now 95 years old and still painting!! And last, notice the sweet vintage angel picture made by my friend, Amy, of "Bunny Rose Cottage". I hope you have enjoyed your tea and cookies. I know I have sure enjoyed our visit together. May you and your family have the happiest of Thanksgiving Days. Today I am participating in "Tea Things Tuesday" so faithfully hosted each week by Kim from "Shabby, Pink and Pretty". Please visit all the other tea participants by going here:I am so thankful to have the opportunity to tutor at the school from which I retired. I love the children and love to help them with their reading skills. They bless my heart with the love they show me each day and with their enthusiasm for learning. May you have a beautiful week with those you love and hold near to your heart.

I love your red chairs. So comfy! And the pillows are so sweet. Love the flowers on them. Everything is always so welcoming and inviting. How nice that you can help out at your leisure for the school you formerly worked. Blessings to you,:) Tammy
What a sweet welcome, Miss Vicki :o) I do so enjoy your delicate pink things. It's amazing to hear that the talented artist is still working, God bless her heart. Your baby shoes are darling :o) The only thing that I possess for nearly 50 years is myself...a little frayed and raggied around the edges, but still here, lol.
Have a blessed day, my friend.
I have several Snack Sets from the 50's but nothing as beautifl as these that are handpainted!! Beauitful!!
I just love your baby shoes...What a treasure!!
Happy Thanksgiving!!

I am going crazy over all the beauty here! I love all the hand-painted china...and those cushions have to be the cutest things I've seen! They look perfect in your red chairs. Where did you get them, or did you make them?
Oh, thanks so much for all the visual pleasure!
I forgot to mention your baby shoes, which are so, so sweet!
Wonderful pictures. I just love the chair.

Hi sweet Vicki,
I'm sorry I'm late to our tea time this week. If you only knew...It's been one of those weeks! Couple of hurdles to jump...one down, two to go today. Please keep my family and me in your prayers. Thank you for tea and the cookies. Love your red chairs...they look so comfy. Wishing you and your lovely family a very blessed Thanksgiving.
Tons of love,
♥Ana
Oh...I want to sit on those lovely red chairs...so pretty and that sweet little kitty pillow! Your home looks so cozy and sweet...thank you for sharing...and for tea.
Vicki, that pillow is just toooo precious!! I am in love with it. And I saw those old well-worn baby shoes. I used to collect baby shoes, just for the fun of it and had a delightful little set from Paris! I think I need to get them out of the closet and enjoy them anew, those old ones have inspired me once again. Wishing you and yours a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING. warmly, Debby
Hi VIcki,
I have been thinking of you so very much and hope you are doing well. Everything at Bunny Cottage is always so beautiful & so is the sweet lady that lives there. :) I just love your precious little baby shoes & your gorgeous tea & toast set that Mrs. Marshall painted!
I want to wish you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving and many blessings today and always.
Love & Hugs, Carol Anne
