    Love the blues of your china! The forget-me-nots teacup is adorable and I love the aqua shade of the Shelley. Lovely tea post including that darling teddy bear; so cute! Thank you for sharing and coming to tea. Hope you have a splendid week.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    Oh yes please. Tea out of those gorgeous cups would taste so good! Should I bring some home made cake? The forget-me-knots are just starting to flower in our back garden. They will quickly be followed by Lilly of the valley (two of my favourite flowers)

    Love the forget-me-not cups - I'm always rather partial to teacups that have a pattern inside like these do!
