A Spot of Tea and a Valentine Wish for You, My Friend!
Come on in and settle into a comfy chair and let’s chat for a few minutes.
I enjoyed setting up this little vignette for my February Teacup of the Month.
The pink teacup is another favorite (and I made sure it was a TEACUP this time, not a MUG, for my friend, J., who shall remain nameless ;^) )
A TeaCUP ~~ Not a Tea MUG! ;^) haha
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and I’m having fun planning what little tokens of love I’ll send to my grandbabies. (Romance doesn’t really fit into my life at this juncture.) I know I’ve told you before ~~ I have a sign in my kitchen that says, “Forget love … I’d rather fall in chocolate.” And I would. ;^) Except I love love love my family and my friends. ;^)
This pink rose teacup is a gift to my daughter, Aubrey, actually ~~ from one of our dear, mutual friends. I’m the lucky one who gets to keep it in my china hutch. ;^)
The saucer is a vintage find that my antiquing, junque-ing, artist/daughter tracked down. ;^)
So, pink and red and fluff and sweetness ~~ yay for them! ;^) I’m not IN a romance (fine and dandy,) but I’m INto romantic stuff. Stuff being the key-word. ;^) I love pink. I love roses. I love cherubs. I love tea. Oh, you know that already. And this tea is a gem. It is Rose Tea by Sandy Clough. My daughter went to a home-party some time back and bought it for me, along with Chocolate tea! I don’t believe that it is available any longer. I hope I can find a replacement, because this one is soooo good. Mmmm ~~ a nice black tea with a hint of rose petals.
ROSE tea! I need to find more!
Now, a word or two about February birthdays ~~ today is my brother, Richard’s birthday. Happy Birthday to him! In two weeks, it’s my brother, Tim’s birthday. Happy Birthday to him! In a week after that, it is my parent’s 57th anniversary! Wowee! Talk about a record-breaking romance! They win the prize. ;^) Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad, and thank you for the visible proof that true love does exist. ;^)
Happy Birthday to you, too, if you have a February celebration coming up!
I hope that you have a Happy Valentine’s Day ~~ or if you prefer to be grouchy about it ~~ well ~~ enjoy that, too. ;^) (May I recommend a spot of rose tea and a vat of chocolate?!) ;^D
Thank you so very much for stopping by. Please say “hello” and tell me what you think about Valentine’s Day. Or Chocolate. Or Romance. Or NOT romance.
;^)
Hugs,

You are definitely in the pink today as they say. Not really my colour but that probably won’t surprise you. I just loved the saying “Forget love … I’d rather fall in chocolate.” I’d probably go along with that nowadays. The reality of life is uncertain. Chocolate is certain.
Hello Graham!
;^)
Yes, in the pink as long as I can stay close to a hot cup of tea today. ;^)
And yes, chocolate. The absolute certainty. Solid. Liquid. Chips. Truffle. Dark. Milk. With or without nuts. Rich. Simple. ;^) It doesn’t matter ~~ I accept it just as it is. And it does the same for me.
;^D
Hugs to you, My Friend,
Miss C ♥
I really like the idea of a teacup of the month! I had started buying “teacups” at one time, then we started talking about traveling and that ended that.
Speaking of chocolate, my friend, we have discovered a chocolate wine that is beyond wonderful. Trentadue, Chocolate Amore. Oh. My. Lord. The website does not ship to AZ, but might to OK.
Valentines day, for me, is little cards for my kids (even tho they’re grown), and my new grandkids. As far as my expectation from Hubby goes, if I had to wait for one day a year to feel special, forget about it! Ha!
Lisa, Thank you! I’m glad you can visit the collection here. ;^) (Just think of all the space you’re saving.) (And dusting you’re avoiding.) Of course, I avoid the dusting, too. ;^)
Oh my goodness. Chocolate Amore. Thatsa amore. I can tell. ;^D Ship to OK??? Ha! No can do. Haven’t you heard about the prohibition? (hehe)
I love to get cards for my girls, too. And some little special something. ;^)
It’s a good thing that you’re special every day of the year anyway. ;^) Hugs to you.
Thanks again for stopping in and taking the time to comment. It means a lot to me.

All that pink is a bit OTT for me, Cynthia, but the compositions are lovely.
I think I must be getting super-old – chocolate no longer has the appeal that romance does! Or perhaps I’m just an old softy..
I tried commenting using my Google account but now, because I am logged into my WordPress account it won’t let me do so unless I log out of WordPress. Why do computers have to be so complicated?

Carol,
Thank you VERY much! ;^) Stop in for a spot of tea any time!
