Roses of Yesterday

“I feel as if I had opened a book and found roses of yesterday sweet and fragrant, between its leaves.” 
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of the Island

Sandi from Rose Chintz Cottage   is getting ready for her Valentine's Tea.  Don't you always think of Roses when you think of Valentine's Day.


Limoges "Old Abbey"



 A marriage of Haviland China and my Eggshell Nautilus.



I love my pretty Rose teacups, and what better way to use them but to share them with you!

    Jocelyn, your china is just gorgeous! I love the roses! I was happy to see that quote from LM Montgomery in your post. I almost used it myself this week. Thank you for sharing your beautiful tea setting and helping me celebrate my tea party anniversary. It's wonderful to have you.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    Jocelyn, your tea table is very pretty. I love roses! Pink is a favorite, but give me Roses of any color and I'll be happy.
