Tea for Two

I started collecting china tea and coffee pots before I was married. I've sold a few over the years that I have since regretted. I don't have anything fancy, just odds and ends pieces, which is pretty much the way most of my "collections" are. Sometimes a certain object just says it needs to come home with me. I guess that's why I have a lot of little random "things" in my house (and life). So today, I thought I would set a tiny table for two out on my deck.

So I'll grab a chair and we can take our time.

The little plant shown here is called "angel vine". I started seeing it used on a lot of the Scandinavian blogs, but I had never found any before here. I finally tracked down a greenhouse that sells it. It likes shade, but will tolerate some sun. The key is to keep it moist at all times, as it dries out quickly.

"one lump or two?"

Have a wonderful day, Debra

Spring Creek

Most people in our area know about Spring Creek Tea Room and Antiques in Ozark, Missouri. It's best known for it's wonderful TeaRoom, where the food is prepared fresh daily, and the yummy desserts are made by Brenda, the owner. The line starts at 10:00am and goes till 2:00. It's always worth the wait, because that gives you time to browse all the great booths in the store.
I really gravitate toward the feminine, cottage, garden-y look, as you can see. Recently, after some more health upsets, I had to scale down, so right now I'm trying to concentrate on smaller items that don't require a lot of heavy lifting.

Here are the recent pictures from my little booth.

Thanks for coming along, we'll have lunch there soon. Then I'll show you the tea room side and all their great decor.
Have a great day!

Blessings, Debra
