For Pink Saturday, A Celebration Of Friendship

Today hubby and I took a delightful trip to Brandon, FL

and my favoritre shop,

Somewhere In Time

Antiques and More

 I saw this lovely rose tea set and dessert plates.

The rim is  pale yellow with pink roses.

I had put aside vintage linens,
but.....
sadly, I knew I had to decide
between the linens and this tea set.

Here it is on my buffet table at home.

The sugar and creamer are very small

but just so lovely.

and.....

there were 9 beautiful dessert plates included.

The set is made in Japan by Gold Castle.
Yikes, all pictures were taken with the tape still on the teapot cover!
Oh, I do hope you will forgive me.
There I was joyfully unwrapping everything and placing on my buffet table.
Somehow never realized the top was still taped.

On my sidebar you will notice I am quite eclectric.
Always have been hopeless romantic,
Always loved to create beauty in my home
Always like a touch of whimsy.
And.....
I still giggle.
So, when these two lovers wanted to be part of this post,
I allowed it because, after all she does have a pink shirt on
which is just right for Pink Saturday.

Oh, time is getting away from me.

I have set up a special celebration for all of you.

With my beautiful new dessert set.

Would you like a closer look at the brownie bites and mini eclair which is

for our celebration today?

Can you see the small chocolate heart on top?

My celebration is a thank you from my heart to all of you.

Did you notice the vintage cards on my table?

Yes, they too were one of my purchases today.

I knew how perfect this one was to celebrate.......
