A New Easter Tea Set

Last week I was in Marshall's/Home Goods store and saw a Easter tea set very reasonably priced [$12.99 for the teapot and $4.99 each for the creamer and sugar bowl].  Since I didn't have an Easter tea set, I decided it should come home with me.


It's made by Grace's Teaware.


The Lefton porcelain bunnies were my mother's, and they're her presence with us this Easter.   


The daffodil teacup is one of  12 teacups by Royal Albert in the Friendship series.


I was gifted with the sweet little chick teapot [below] several Easter's ago.


I've had the rabbit candlestick holders for many years.  Other than Mrs. Rabbit's skirt needing a little touch-up paint, they've survived time well.


The brown rabbit looks like chocolate, but he's really ceramic.


As the 1949 Easter song goes, Here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hoppin' down the bunny trail,
Hippity, hoppity, Happy Easter day!


The view from my front porch today was anything but spring and Easter, however.  Gotta love Michigan!  I need a cup of tea to warm me up.

  3. A delightful Easter tea table Phyllis. I must see if the teapot is available here - it reminds me of Bernideen with the rabbit. :-)
    Wishing you Easter Blessings and that spring weather arrives soon.
    Thank you for linking to Mosaic Monday.

  4. Oh, I like that new teapot! All your Easter things look so festive, and your mother's rabbits are a very special touch. I found an Easter teapot at Goodwill recently, it's not as pretty as yours but I think my granddaughter will enjoy it - and I put a little ceramic butterfly of my mother's on my table. I wanted to include something that was hers with my Easter table setting this year.

  6. Your bunny teapot and cream and sugar are perfect for Easter and to go with your Daffodil cup and saucer. Everything blends together so sweet. Happy Easter to you!

  7. I would love to look out my window and see only that much snow! We still have many feet of it to melt yet. Your bunny tea set is so cute! And I like the Daffodil teacup. I have the Cosmos in that same series. Your mother's Lefton bunnies are precious and real treasures. A delightful post, Phyllis, and thank you for sharing it with us and joining me for tea. A Happy Easter to you and your family!

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  11. Your new bunny teapot and other Easter decor are adorable!

    The HomeSense (Canadian version of HomeGoods) store here has a lovely display of spring floral teawares by Gracie China (no bunny teapot though). I was soooo tempted to buy a tea for one set but I resisted!

    Happy Easter!

  12. I do love your wonderful figural teapots! So fun! We don't have any good fun shops around here...have to drive 75 miles, so have to enjoy the treasures others bring home...probably a good thing! Lol! A very Happy Easter and a wonderful week. Thanks so much for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

  13. I found that same teapot at Homegoods! isn't that store addictive? I had no idea there was a matching creamer and sugar. Your mother's Lefton bunnies are gorgeous and go so well with your new set. Happy Easter!
