Tea cups and a Birthday

 The sunny weather we've been waiting for has at last arrived and I took out the tea cups that I put out every year.  

Some in the back yard and some in front.



Do you remember this Miss Kitty tea pot from last year? Isn't she cute?



If you're a Gladys Taber fan you might be interested to know that she was born on this day in 1899 which, if she had lived, would be her 122 nd  birthday.   If you enjoy her books please put that in your comment. 

 

I'm off to do the many things I need (and want) to do amid my flowers!!

 

Thanks for coming by,  GM

  5. Those teacups certainly make your garden unique - do you have passers-by who stop and take a closer look? I quite enjoy stopping and gazing (staring!) into an interesting garden. I always hope the owners don't mind :)

  7. What fun to combine two of your favorite things- gardening and tea cups. I just bought Gladys Taber’s Stillmeadow book but haven’t read any of it yet.

    1. Well, I can't say I did them myself. My DH cut the wooden circles and glued them to the saucers.

  10. Het doet me denken aan Chinese jongleer bordjes.
    Het lukt jou om kop en schotel in de lucht te houden zonder draai bewegingen;-))

  13. That kitty teapot just makes that spot in your garden. She is so cute! You know how much I love all your teacups! I need to spend hours weeding. I've let it all get out of control...and now a new puppy to take up my time. :(

  16. Your tea cups are so adorable! Yes, I'm a Gladys Taber fan. I have a handful of her books and read them a few years back. She's such a pleasant read! I'm part of a Gladys Taber Facebook group. You learn a lot there.

  17. Such a nice way to decorate with tea cups! Sorry I have not heard about Gladys Taber, I don't think her books have reached Norway.
