Okay, now on to my Tea Post. I have to confess.....I am not a Tea drinker...I only drink tea if I happen to have a sore throat, as that particular beverage seems to soothe it. My FAVORITE and ONLY hot beverage that I love to drink is Hot Chocolate. Please don't hate me :) Kinda strange...I love to collect teacups, but don't like to drink tea...what can I say :) So, for this week's post I thought I would share with you a couple of really lovely chocolate cups that have, of course, beautiful pink roses decorating them.
First, you will see the little vignette I set up this morning as the sun was coming up...
These cups are different, but very similar in style as they both have lovely pink roses, done in differnt styles, decorating them.,,
one of them even has some pretty roses along the inside rim...
Both have these markings on the bottom of the cups...
I've chosen my pretty pink and white rose Tea pot to go with them....
a delicate and dainty Vintage soft pink hanky with sweet crochet trim...
a pretty paper rose created by my friend Rhonda...click HERE to see her wonderful website...
and lastly, a lovely vintage crystal candleholder with shimmery prisms, and all these were placed on the wonderful Vintage mirror with scrolly metal frame that I found at Goodwill a couple weeks back. The frame was originally gold, but I spray painted it with my favorite Dover White by Krylon Fusion, and now she looks fabulous.
Thanks so much for stopping by my Tea (Chocolate) Post this week. I will try my best to visit your Tea posts thru-out the week :)

Hi Brenda
Hot chocolate is good if you're not fond of tea. I like to have one at night watching TV with popcorn - for some reason chocolate and popcorn go together in my mind. :-)
Your tray that you painted is pretty and the mugs are close enough in design to match.
I was eyeing up the teapot though, very nice and who knows? Maybe one day it will hold tea.

Hi Brenda,
Your tea post is very sweet and even though you don't drink tea, I love your use of the pretty cups for hot chocolate. I love hot chocolate myself and I enjoy it very much especially this time of year. Your tea pot, I love, so pretty with its little feet! Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to post for a tea party. Have a wonderful week.
Blessings,
Sandi
Such lovely and delicate things today...the tea pot is a favorite shape for me...
Hi Brenda!!!
Oh I love your banner! All the soft pink plates are gorgeous...and of course so is teapot and cups! Hey, Hot Chocolate taste just fine in teacups! I've even served lemonade..so even if you don't drink much tea they are fun to use for other beverages!
Have a great week!
Happy Tea!

I think your tea pot is beautiful. And your tea cups are so delicate, your can see through them. I think they are perfect to serve hot chocolate in. I am a big H.C. fan myself and have certain tea cups I use for it.

Brenda,
Such a lovely vignette your rose cups and pot make. Hot chocolate is good, too! We can't all like the same things ... how boring!!!!! Happy tea (chocolate) day!
What a beautiful post. These pieces are just to die for! I am such a sucker for vintage china :)
Hugs,
Amy
Dearest Brenda,
Lovely blog and your precious Haviland Limoges cups are very valuable ones too!
Saw that they were purchases at the capital of my state, in Atlanta. Must have been a very special store for having their logo under the cups!
Have a great week,

Hi Brenda,
Oh your vignette is so pretty as always. I have a tray like that I want to paint also. Love your chocolate cups, just beautiful. May I ask where you found your pink candles? I have been looking and just can't find pretty pink ones. thanks!
Hugs,

Your tea service is very dainty and pretty. La
I love your mirror vignette! The hanky!! The teapot and cups are so lovely! What a great way to have Hot Chocolate! I love iced or sweet tea cold, I even drink them in my cups! Chocolate is welcome here anytime! Thank you for joining me for Tea Time! I just love those cups!
Hello sweetie! You know I am in heaven over this gorgeous post!
Love it!
Hugs,

I hope you don't feel bad about not liking tea. Hot chocolate...nothing better.
Love the teacups, and when they are pretty whatever you put in them will taste better.
I hope you do very well this Christmas season. I so appreciate you taking time to drop in for a hot beverage
Have a blessed week.
A sweet blog....I am so drawn to anything ____ chic, pinks, and roses.
Did I miss something, where are the cats, which I have 4 of, all very Victorian looking long-haired in various colors. I love chocolate cups, I actually like to drink tea out of them. No saucer to bother with, and the china edge is what I like. I'll be back to visit.
Since i started visiting your blog, i've been feeling pink. Now i want to paint all my furniture white and add pink accessories! with husband rolling eyes!
I love your teapot, so beautiful.
And the tray very chic!
Hugs xx

What gorgeous Hot Chocolate cups! Beautiful setting.
