A "Pretty-n-Pink" Rose Tea...

*

*

Hello my friends...I hope you're having a fabulous day!

*

Today I thought I would share a tea that I set out on my blue cottage veranda.  I actually created this tea table and took the photos last summer, however I never did a post.  I'm not sure what I was waiting for...hehe!  Anyway, I hope that you will enjoy it today!

A "Pretty-n-Pink" Rose Tea

*

*

Here we are...out on my blue cottage veranda.

*

I have set a "Pretty-n-Pink" Rose Tea today!  Won't you join me?
*

*

I decided to use a "Pretty-n-Pink" place setting today.

*

*

This pretty china teacup and saucer will work perfectly!

*

The china pattern is called "Roselet"...manufactured by Harmony House.

*

This beautiful set of china belonged to my late mother-in-law.  I have a six piece place setting for twelve.  I just adore the bands of delicate pink roses on this set of china!!!

*

*

I have also added a dinner plate to the tea setting...more pink and more roses!

*

This pretty-n-pink china is called "Norway Rose"...manufactured by Cunningham & Pickett. 
I love the soft shade of blush pink on the band...oooh...sooo pretty!  I think that these two china patterns compliment one another beautifully!

*

*

A lidded sugar bowl and cream pitcher from the Roselet china.

*

*

I am using one of my favorite teapots for this "Pretty-n-Pink" tea table today.

*

I found this little beauty at TJ Maxx for just $9.99.  I love, love, LOVE the delicate, three dimensional roses on the teapot!  A Norway Rose salad plate under the teapot brings a little more pink to the scene...and a pretty white metal charger plate called "Lace" works nicely for the tea tray! 

*

A "Pretty-n-Pink" Rose Tea Centerpiece...

*

One of my favorite things to do...is to create the table centerpiece!  I like to think of the centerpiece as a "table top vignette". 

*

A tall cloche on a pedestal plate, a pair of pearl candleholders, and a lovely "lady in blue" figurine...make up the table top vignette for this "Pretty-n-Pink" tea.

*

*

My "teacup cloche" is the star attraction!

*

I love how the stack of pretty teacups and saucers look under the cloche!  Do you see the roses at the base of the pedestal plate?  These pretty roses are made out of soap flakes!  I found a box of nine roses at the Dollar Tree.  Not only are they pretty...but they have a lovely scent as well!

*

*

*

*

*

Two pearl candleholders sit to the left of the teacup cloche.

*

A pearl-like glass mosaic and pearl beads decorate the bowl and bases of the candleholders.  I found these beauties at Hobby Lobby and have gotten miles of use out of them!

*

*

The lovely "lady in blue" figurine sits to the right of the teacup cloche.

*

*

She looks like she is dressed and ready for tea...don't you think?

*

*

The "Pretty-n-Pink" Rose Tea Linens...

*

I layered two crochet doilies on the tea table...a large ecru colored doily...with a smaller white doily on top.

*

Vintage Handkerchiefs and White Lace Tea Napkins...

*

I also layerd the tea napkins...a white tea napkin trimmed in lace and a vintage handkerchief makes for a pretty combo!  The silver basket holds more tea napkins.  I love the beautiful colors and designs on the vintage handkerchiefs...sooo prefect for a tea table!

* 

*

Silver teapot napkin rings for the tea napkins.

*

*

You can see a little bit of my blue cottage veranda in this photo. 
*
Last summer I gave the veranda a long, over-due makeover.  I sewed a new cover (top) for the swing and I made a quilt to place over the seat of the swing as well.  New pillows out of coordinating fabrics were made and frilly little chair slips to dress the chairs.

*

If you look closely...you will see a little cherub on the small table beside the swing!

*

*

This sweet little cherub is holding pearls and a pretty gold filigree brooch on the leaf!  Oh yes...and there are a few decorating books to look at while sipping tea!

*

*

*

*

*

And Voila...there you have it...a "Pretty-n-Pink" Rose Tea!  I hope you enjoyed!!!
