Rosalie

Audrey helped me unwrap my treasure today when I returned from Almonte.
She just wanted it 'gone' so she could tear around in the paper and shred it to bits.


And that she did.

Earlier, and after cat-sitting this morning,  the retired-guy and I headed up to Almonte to have lunch at the Robin's Nest Tea-room and then take a walk through the antique shops. Lunch was a tasty sandwich and the best home-made leek and parsley soup. It was delicious. They also have the best desserts (mile-high butterscotch pie...oh my!) but we passed and drank a pot of tea instead. I left the little town without even stopping at the bakery. That's a first. I must be on a health kick.

So, I think I can truthfully say, that I do believe, without a doubt, that I just may have found the prettiest tea-cup and saucer ever.
What do we need more than flowers right now?
NOTHING!
 When I spotted it I held it up and said to the retired-guy, "This is what I've been looking for forever. Her name is Rosalie."
 He just looked at me with the same look I get when he can't find his car keys and said, "I don't understand you." Then he went off to look at radios. That's how we shop. When I went to pay, the shop owner looked at the cup and said, "Oh yes, this is the one I wanted." I thought, "ok ...I'm ready to arm-wrestle you if it comes down to that." She winked, wrapped it up and, with a smile, handed it over. Boy, she's lucky.


I'm joining Sandi at http://sandimyyellowdoor.blogspot.ca/ for Tea-cup Tuesday
hugs, Deb

  14. That is the sweetest tea cup. Every angle of it has had special details and touches added. For me, the embossing adds such dimension & texture to an aready beautiful piece of china. I am so happy that you found this treasure to add to your collection. Even when you are alone and having tea you are not really alone - you are having tea with Roselie.
