| I spend many hours observing nature around me... The songs of the birds are a gift from heaven to us all... I ponder in their presence, sometimes with my teacup in hand... |

| Bavarian China Cup&Saucer "wild rose pattern" on a delicate German antique "Plauen Lace Doily"... |
 |
| Notice the matte finish against the olive greens and mauve pinks and rich generous gold finishing; make this one of the prettiest sets I have ever seen... I WILL own a complete dinner set of these "someday"... My guests would NOT be able to eat with a table set with this china, because they would be overtaken "with love" and have no appetite at all... |

| Under the cloche is a "Baltimore Oriole Nest" that I waited patiently for... |

I love your blog, Donna! Thanks so much for stopping by, and for your nice comments. I imagine that lemon curd would last a few weeks in your refrigerator, but not to worry! It won't last that long once you taste it! I am your newest follower :)
Donna this is a beautiful Post..love your flare for decorating!

Hello Donna, What a beautiful post with the vintage teacup and I wish we could find an Orieo nest also. They come by the garden but nest up in the palm trees and it is too high up and get the abandon nest. Thanks for sharing and have a great week....Julian
Donna, what a beautiful old pattern!
Lovely cup and saucer! I hope you get the whole set, one of these days. :)

Oh how pretty. I collect bone china tea cups and saucers. I really like this one!!
That teacup is gorgeous and so is the doilie. However, I also saw the opera glasses...way cool!
This whole vignette is just wonderful. I love it. The birdcage, the cloche with the nest, the feathers, book and of course that absolutely gorgeous teacup and saucer. It is stunning. So beautiful. Gorgeous. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty

What a really pretty tray full of beautiful things. I like the nest under the cloche, the doilies, and the addition of the feather to the side of the teacup. It's a lovely vignette!

This is a lovely arrangement and the tea cups are just gorgeous. I love how you composed everything.
I am so glad you asked about the Humuhumu...
plates and the artist. I googled it and found him at www.mauihands.com and he does mail order. Good to know as the grandkids were a little too handsy with the plates! I edited my post to include his site. Thanks for helping me think to find it.
I declare you wrote a sonnet to that tea cup. Well stated. I do believe it is gorgeous. olive♥
Your cup is so beautiful~ And I adore your last photograph! The composition was amazing. I hope you get a chance to enter a giveaway on my blog pop on over if you can. (MsartistSewCrafty)

Stunning vignette, and beautiful photography, great lighting, angles and soft colors....Cleo
I really like the delicate brown and pink colors in your pretty cup. Your photo styling is beautiful too.
How romantic! And I love how the texture of the wood of the table contrasts with the delicate beauty of the tea cup and doilies.
Your teacup is the most exquisite colouring I've seen in a long time. A tablescape in this china would be gorgeous. I love how you've paired china with lace and wood and glass along with a book; very interesting. Love the nest under the cloche too! Lovely post! Thank you for sharing.
Blessings,
Sandi
Another breath taking vignette. You are a master at staging these. Do you paint? ~ Sarah
Thank you for visiting my blog. I'm glad you liked the key picture. I've been looking around on yours and I love your style. Your photography is absolutely stunning! Regards, Sheilla
