Yellow Roses for Tea Time Tuesday

Tea Time Tuesdays at Rose Chintz Cottage is celebrating it's Second Anniversary with a rose theme this week.  

Here is a rose tea cup that is special to me, because it always reminds me of the two greatest men in my life.  You may remember when I told you Hubby gave it to me here.  Yellow roses are my father's favorite, and every time one of us girls had a baby he would send us a dozen.  He is a truck driver, and it was special to know he was thinking of us even though he was far away.

In the back of this photo is the Fannie May Heart Chocolate Tin that he brought me when our first was born.  The chocolates went quickly, but I have kept the tin all of these years. It holds my stickers.

Hubby surprised me with a bouquet of yellow spray roses the other evening.  He did not even know I was planning to photograph my yellow rose tea cup.  What perfect timing.  He was trying to give me a bit of sunshine for these gray January days.  It worked more than he thought, because the next morning was bright and sunny.

We once had a dear elderly neighbor who was like a grandmother to us.  She and her husband always lived modestly, and had lived in the little house next to us for decades.  When she finally had to go move in with her daughter she gave me four teaspoons that were special to her.  They were samples from Oneida way back when.  Each one is different.  

There are two modern spoons and two old fashioned ones.  I use them with my tea, and can pick them to match my mood.  Here are the two that have roses.  We have lost touch over the years, but I remember her fondly every time I use them.

I am thrilled to be joining Sandi for her Tea Time Tuesday Anniversary with my rose memories.

Let's visit these fun Tea Parties too!
