It is Tea-cup Tuesday, or
All Things Tea ! To see other lovely teacups, tea parties , and wonderful tea times click onto these ladies' names :
Terri *, Martha *, Lady Katherine*,and Wanda*, after you have joined the teddy bears and my granddaughters for tea! Please stay, we like company for tea.
I am using my favorite china. I know, I have shown it before on my blog, but it is my favorite and we are using it today. "
Blue Danube was inspired by designs from the Chinese Yuan Dynasty period ( 1260-1368 A.D. )...The original design has been in production for more than 200 years." Blue Danube @ Dinnerware Depot
I have enough Blue Danube to host a dinner for at least 6 , with a few extra plates and lots of serving dishes. Today one of my Blue Danube pitchers holds flowers for our tea party.
"Created in 1951, Blue Danube is an exquisite pattern, underglazed on translucent porcelain. Blue Danube is under glazed and fired at temperatures in excess of 2000 degrees, making each piece highly chip resistant..." Blue Danube @ Dinnerware Depot. The little teddy bears are having tea in their log tea set underneath the bouquet of flowers in my pitcher.
Tea today is served with fruit and
Oslo Kringle *. Just click onto the asterisk to get the very easy, but delicious recipe for this dessert.
The Granddaughters requested hot cocoa in their tea pot yet again. Sigh...oh all right, hot cocoa it is. Just for them you know, and the little bears. It has been a long time since a granddaughter has taken them out for tea, a whole year you know. I guess a treat is well deserved after such a long time stuck in the doll house.Besides, hot cocoa is so reviving, especially for little girls and bears!
Let's not forget to scrape up every bit of frosting, we need our strength to play with each other and the bears.
Yummy!
The bears and their guest, Little Brownilocks, agree ~ hot cocoa and Oslo Kringle with LOTS of icing are YUMMY! What are you having for tea today?

Reminds me of a song from years ago -If you go out in the woods today
ReplyDeleteYou're sure of a big surprise.
If you go out in the woods today
You'd better go in disguise.
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.
The Teddy Bear's Picnic song -
your teas are lovely and obviously a joy to have such sweet guests - teddy bears and grandgirls!

Each time I have tried to leave comments on Blogger recently my computer has come back with an Internet Explorer error. I may be able to leave comments here, today!
ReplyDeleteI collected Boyd's Bears figurines for a few years. They are full of messages, wonderful times, just like your beautiful tea set.
A tea pot full of cocoa,that could certainly be good. :)
I've always loved blue and white china and your Blue Danube dishes are beautiful. What a fun tea party with your granddaughters.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the oslo kringle recipe - it looks delicious.
I love this post! Tea parties with grandchildren can't be beat for fun and time well spent together! I'm so lovin your Blue Danube dishes--both my sister-in-laws have this pattern and it is so beautiful and classic!
ReplyDeleteOh, the bears are so sweet, as your granddaughters! I love your blue china! I have one plate, lol How wonderful you have a set! I see the wonderful blue weaving! So pretty! I so enjoy seeing your hand spun, and handwoven linens! I love that the girls choose to use the Tea sets, for milk, hot chocolate, ect. I sometimes give my grandchildren cold tea in their teacups. I not going to tell them about just the milk, lol for then I will be serving milk. lol They do take milk in the everyday teacups. Your desert looks wonderful! I would love to know how you make it! A sweet Tea with a Sweet Grandmother!
