Hello my friends...I hope that you're having a fabulous day!
*
I'm having a super-duper day...and why you ask? Hehe!
*
*
Because it's my birthday!!!
(Well...actually Friday is my birthday)
*
I think we should celebrate birthdays...no matter how old we are! Each and every one of you are so special to me...I just couldn't have a birthday without sharing it with you!
*
In celebration...I thought I would share one of my birthday gifts! A brand new teacup! Ohhh yes...I love all pretty teacups!!!
*
*
*
I bought this pretty china teacup as a gift to myself! Do you ever do that? Hehe! I'm celebrating life and all of my many blessings today!
*
"Queen Anne" Teacup
*
The manufacturer's mark on the teacup says "Queen Anne" Fine Bone China...England. I just love the gold filigree pattern and all the soft pastel colored flowers!!! The body of the teacup is scalloped...sooo pretty!
*
To celebrate my birthday, I'm having tea today out on my blue cottage veranda!
*
*
*
I decided to use my white teapot with the embossed roses that I found at TJ Maxx for just $9.99. The delicate pink and lavender roses at the base of the teapot are actually soap petals. Mmmm...they smell sooo wonderful! I found the rose soap petals at the Dollar Tree...just $1 for a box of nine beautiful roses!
*
*
*
An "artsy" photo! Hehe!
*
Well my dear, sweet friends...I'm just tickled pink that you came by today! I wouldn't have wanted to spend my birthday without you!!!
*
*
I'm joining these fabulous parties...

Hope you have a SUPER-DUPER DAY!!!!!
P.S. FOR ALL YOU BLOGGER FRIENDS OUT THERE... if you happen to read my post, I would LOVE it if you would stop by my blog. I need HELP!! I have a piece of furniture that I just purchased and I'm trying to decide whether or not I should paint it. I would love to hear what you think.
