| One of "Martha's Favorites" is now one of "My Favorites"...I won this stunning Cup&Saucer while exploring her Beautiful World... Do you see that gorgeous Victorian Brooch? It was an extra Special Surprise! |
 | |
| We are having tea with Martha today! "Our Land of Blog is a Brighter Place because she's in it"!!! There is a Sisterhood here that gives us strength and today I am toasting one of "My Favorite Ladies"!!! |
 |
| We are still being adorned by peonies SO "This one is for you Sweet Martha"! |
 |
| This little German Guest is one of Hildegard Gunzel's little ladies...She was SO Excited when I told her Martha was coming for tea! She insisted on wearing her Beautiful Brooch... |
 |
| It's truly amazing how many different patterns, shapes, and, colors there are in cups and saucers... Do you think it's possible that "Someone Somewhere", actually has one of each??? My Mother's cousin Phoebe had a Cup&Saucer collection(I think SHE is the reason I LOVE THEM to this day... Mom would visit her and "I" would examine each and every cup and saucer... She had "200"sets and every one of the sets were on display... HOW??? Her hubby made her a display shelf only big enough to custom fit the size of the sets... The molding was WAY UP near the 12 foot ceiling and perched on it's little ledge was her collection sitting "SIDE by SIDE" and extending ALL the way around her VERY Large farm kitchen and continued into her dining room ... It was GORGEOUS! and very discrete... When her only daughter got married they had the reception at her home AND "All those beautiful cups and saucers were used"...Not ONE was broken... Not even a scratch... |
 |
| One of the greatest pleasures of life is relaxing with someone you have "Everything" in common with! Isn't the Land of Blog a Wonderful Place to Live? Where we all have each other... There is ALWAYS someone here, at Anytime of Any Day just waiting to make us smile or lend us a shoulder and a kind word! There is also the Miracle of Prayer here... |
 |
| Please Peek in on "Martha" and give her a Big Hug from me! We can also shop with her at "Pretty Vintage Things"! |
 | |
| Thank you So Much Martha. I will treasure our friendship every time we have tea together!

Hello my dear Donna,

Donna, you are on a winning streak! What a beautiful cup and saucer, and it couldn't have gone to a more appropriate person, and you couldn't have described The Land of Blog more appropriately. Beautiful vignette! ~ Sarah
Opening up one of your posts is always such a treat...I know I am going to see and read something both beautiful and interesting. Lovely.
Congratulations! If anyone has one of everything, it's Martha! :D :D :D Lovely post. Happy Tea Day!

I vote that you put all your sweet posts into a book and then sell it to all of us who follow you and are so enchanted by each post. This is a lovely tribute to your dear friend. Once again, you've taken me away to a a fabulous place with teacups and rainbows and music played by the angels.
What a lovely cup and I just love how you told the story with such a beautiful doll. As for the land of Blog...I can't even begin to say how people here have lifted me up through all of the things we've gone through the past weeks and months. It truly is amazing because the sincerity comes through with every word. There are amazing people around here!
Love that tea cup....so beautiful!!!
Hugs,

If there is anyone who has one of each teacup it MUST be Martha! She has the most beautiful collection and she is passionate about her collection too.
That is a pretty teacup your doll is holding and the brooch looks very fine on her. Congratulations on your win.
You are so right about Blog Land. I praise God for putting me in touch with ladies who have helped me with prayer & encouragement.
Darling tea cup Donna. On a totally different vein we have a Tudor house near us that is beautiful, like yours, and it has the same hibiscus blooming in the front yard right now. It that particular flower historically accurate for these houses? Just wondering. hugs♥O
Beautiful teacup set and brooch from Martha, Donna. Your doll is very pretty and that peony, gorgeous! Such a pretty color. Your photos are superb!....christine
I enjoyed the doll and teacup. Such a lovely house on your heading. Is it yours?
lovely post Donna and what a gorgeous doll
Thank you so much for linking in to Teddy Bears Picnic. It is always a delight to visit you.
Gorgeous doll and beautiful cup and saucer set. treasures in themselves
Your little lady is delightful and she does look gorgeous wearing her brooch!
Martha is so sweet and I love her china selection shows very good taste. Her brooch is pretty too. Perfect for thea with friends.

Such a beautiful doll..... and what a sweet teacup. Hmmmm.... I wonder how much space it would take to actually have one of each and every teacup.... I watched a program about Royal collectors during the week of Prince William's wedding... Oh my gosh. I don't know how some of those ladies actually even moved around in their homes. :-) I'm thinking I'll keep a tight rein on teacup collecting.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Warm blessings,
Spencer
Good afternoon Donna..congratulations on your win! Your toile pillows are fantastic! Have a great weekend ahead.
Wanda
Donna, your cup and saucer are gorgeous -- but I can't seem to pull my eyes away from your peony! I don't think I've ever seen one that color, and it's amazing! I'll have to ask Renaissance Man about it...
I love the tea cups and Martha! I just joined, TTT with a tablescape for Father's Day. Wishing you, your hubby and family a wonderful F'sD...along with your dad. Love. FABBY
