It's been a while since I did one of these, so you get two!



Afternoon tea last week: Yorkshire Gold in the green melon pot, Rosina green Paisley cup and saucer, silverplate tongs, strainer, and Dresden Rose teaspoon by Reed & Barton. The tray is Daher, and the sugarbowl is thrifted.




Lunch today, rice cakes with lemon curd, raspberry jam, and homemade hummus. Daher tray, Yorkshire Gold in the unmarked American redware pot, Nippon plate and sugarbowl, mismatched Foley saucer and Paragon cup. Silverplate tongs, spoon, and windmill tea strainer. Num!

This is making me envious and hungry! That Rosina green Paisley cup and saucer set is so beautiful. Are these sets hand-painted? They're all so full of delicate detail.

Homemade hummus is tasty, and surprisingly filling. You're welcome to join me, anytime.

The flowers on both sugarbowls and the plate are handpainted; I think the borders are machine-applied. The Foley saucer may have some hand-painting, but the Rosina cup and saucer are not hand done, nor is it transferware. I do agree that it's pretty, though! Thank you!
