Tea Time Tuesday & Missing My Bee-Keeper

My husband had a milestone birthday this month. There is so much going on in our lives that has to be attended to right now we were unable to celebrate the way we had hoped. Plus, my husband, my bee-keeper, had to go out of town on business shortly thereafter.
The day my bee-keeper left for a few days I made a pot of tea in my bee-hive teapot and brought out this sunshine yellow teacup.

Doesn't this teacup cheer you up? Look at the happy yellow rings of color with little flowers and red / orange dots. Reminds me of my home raised chicken eggs after the chickens have eaten lots of greens fresh from the garden. The yolks will be a very deep red/orange this very color.

The yellow is so bright it seems to make the whole teacup glow.

I made peppermint tea,
and cut myself a piece of my husband's birthday cake. The cake doesn't look near as good as it tasted. It was a whip cream white cake. Happy birthday my Bee-Keeper and we'll have that birthday celebration soon !

I am joining these ladies for Tea-Time Tuesday :

    Please wish him a Happy Birthday from our neck of the woods. That is a beautiful cup set, and I've never seen a Bee tea set like yours. It would definitely cheer one up! Have a good week...

    Happy Birthday to your husband and have a special celebration when he returns from his trip. Your outdoor setting is perfect for this sunny yellow teacup and saucer. The dots and flowers are a darling addition to the design. Your bee hive tea set is a cute one. Have a cup of tea and enjoy your day!
