Let's Talk Vintage #65: Tea Time with Friends

 

Welcome to Let's Talk Vintage!

 

You've come to the right linky party if you love

things of olde and if you are inspired by vintage.

 

Feel free to link up your blog posts of your latest

vintage projects, remodels, junkin' finds, Etsy shop

items, etc. We'd love to have you!

 

 

This week I am taking you along to a tea time

luncheon Bebe and I were invited to during the

holiday break.

 

This table was set up in a gorgeous,

all white kitchen. . .

(Note the awesome farm sink!)

 

It was a lovely party... I loved looking at all of the 

Nutcrackers on display.

 

I can just hear the music now!

 

 

There were lovely details all around.

Loved this dainty bouquet of pink roses.

Notice the pink lustre pitcher/creamer

they are resting in.

 

 
There were other details, too, like this plate of tomato and olive "lady bugs" with a creamy cheese blend of feta and sour cream, spread over petite bread slices. They were delicious, of course!

In fact, there were delicious goodies everywhere!

This was the table set up in the dining room, where Bebe and I sat and enjoyed treat after treat.

Look at these pretty green,
majolica style, vintage plates.
 

 

We were able to choose any teacup

we wanted to use from this

amazing, gigantic antique cupboard.

 

 

This was my pick.

Of course it had to be pink!

Our friends also had other

eye candy to check out.

 

Like this stunning oval portrait.

 

It was our friend's Great Grandmother.

 

Look at the details!

(My apologies for the TV reflection)

 

Just for size reference I took this shot also.

This was no small picture, lost on a wall.

It was the focal point.

 

Story has it her Great Grandfather

wanted a smudge repaired and had

the artist travel all the way back

to America from Italy to fix it!

 

Love it when you get to hear the

history behind a vintage piece.

 

We had a wonderful time!

 

We look forward to it all again.

 

Thank you for joining us!
