Welcome to our home, my friends ...You can see the blizzard of Thursday beautifully frosted
our pretty pink wreath, the perfect touch for a cold
wintery day.
Yes, please do come in after you enjoy the
beautiful snow covered gardens ... aren't
they gorgeous ...
All fluffy & white ...
This is our foyer. This 3-tier piece was once silver. I
had Donny paint it white & all the gifts that we receive
adorned with florals ... I pop them into this topiary to
remember each person who blesses me with a
remembrance ...
You will see the water goblet with Celeste's beautiful
spoon ~ http://larearose.blogspot.com/
This awesome parcel arrived from Donna @
The wrapping is so rich & elegant ... Donna
made me an exquisite mug mat. I was
truly overwhelmed with her generous
thoughtfulness ... my colors & roses, oh, how
beautiful ... & such a sweet note ...
Thank you Donna for your loving kind heart.
I so treasure this gorgeous piece.
So I said, 'self, gather your treasures & have a cup of tea
for Donna, & me' ...
I found a hand pieced & sewn napkin my Mother had
made probably back in the 1940s ... I treasure her
linens ...
Then I pulled out my darling Sadler 2-cup
English teapot ... sweet delicate roses, ahhh,
perfect!
Oh, yes, before I forget you may still enter our GIVEAWAY
here ~
Of course, the Royal Chelsea tea cup was just
a must for this special celebration ...
The Daffodil silver beautifully graces the mat!
The lace medallion is so elegant a touch!
Sandi @ http://waysidetreasures-sandi.blogspot.com/ sent me this lovely dessert plate for my birthday ...
This calls for my favorite treat ... peanut butter
anything ...
What a beautiful gathering of gifts & treasures
to sit & enjoy, thinking of each precious friend
& their loving hearts & generous gifts ...
Loving peanut butter as much as do I ...
Mildred @ http://yellanmildred.blogspot.com/ this dessert treat is for you ...
And, assure yourself, it is dee-lish!
Mildred gave me this wonderful book of her
Mother's after we visited with her & John in
their exquisite home in GA ... Mildred, I read
the book enroute to AZ, it was delightful & a
very enjoyable read. My heart THANKS you.
Next to the book is a wonderful treasure from
sweet Ginger @ http://glitterandroses.blogspot.com/
It is a matchbox that she has given pinky
beauty to, I so love it!
So delighted your popping in for a spot of tea, a
wee visit & time with me.
Please enjoy all our other PINK SATURDAY
Ladies & sweet hostess, Beverly @
It has been a lovely visit, enjoy the sunset asyou depart. Do come again ... Cheerio!

ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend in your gorgeous snowy home!
HUGS!
You are truly blessed with very good, giving friends. Nothing can replace them. I loved all the things you shared today. I would love having a cup tea or coffee with you. However, I would just use a plain old cup, nothing this fancy.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so pretty when it has a dusting of snow on it! Looks like your cup runneth over in the friend department Marydon, and it's no surprise because you're so sweet!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday!

Those peanut butter somethings sure look good on that plate Marydon. You can send it back now with the chocolate ON IT! LOL Just kidding.

ReplyDeleteMarydon, it looks like you got quite a snowfall there. I'm glad you had so much loveliness to enjoy inside while you had your tea and could look out the window to enjoy how pretty it was outside too. Have a nice weekend, my friend. :)
ReplyDeleteHi sweet Marydon. I so enjoyed our visit. You have some lovely treasures from some very lovely friends. I would much rather surround myself with gifts from friends and family than things that I just go out and purchase.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better.
Take care my friend XXOO, Sue

ReplyDeleteMarydon,
ReplyDeleteThe snow picturesw are so pretty and elegant. My favorite is the pink hued wreath brushed with snow...how sweet!
Stay warm and I'll join you for that cup of tea with ANYTHING peanut butter as well! Love it...
Lovely! What a lovely time shared with you today. Thanks for sharing your sweet hospitality.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tea! I so enjoyed it and almost felt like I was right there with you! I am like you about "anything peanut butter"! Beautiful blog, beautiful post!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday Sweet Sis...
ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful the snow has blanketed the yards. They almost look like a new house to me. I had to look hard. I know you are in seventh heaven with all this white around you. I am sure you were out there making snow angels along the way.
Love the foyer. It is only lacking your silver that I am mailing to you. It needs it. Ofcourse now that Donnie painted your tier white, you may want to paint the other white as well. Durn it. It looks so beautiful Sis.
You look terrific. Now I have to ask before I take a bite. Might this be sugar free for Me? Durn it, I thought as such, I guess I will just take my cup of tea and sit with you, that is sweet enough for me. I love it when we visit.
A beautiful book and matchbox from Mildred. She is such a treasure.
Many hugs my sweet Sis and SO much love. Your Lil Sis, Sherry
Hi Marydon,
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your snow covered gardens. Such a pretty sight.
Love your pretty teacup mat from Donna. Your topiary display is such a grand idea.
The dessert plate is simply gorgeous from Sandi.
And, I'll be right over for the peanut butter candies. Totally my favorite. I could eat PB three meals a day. LOL!
Thank you for sharing your spoon. I enjoyed seeing how you display with it and your kind mention of moi.
Stay warm and enjoy your glorious world of snow!
Blessings to you always,
XOXO Celestina Marie
Dear Marydon:

Glad I don't have all that snow, but it sure is pretty!
