Newest Tea Finds

In the post about my visit to the Royal Eagle Tea House last Friday, I promised I'd share what I bought in their gift shop, and at La Belle's antique store.  

My built-in living room shelves are full, but I keep finding more blue and white things to put on them, like the small milk pitcher in the Blue Willow pattern. I knew my purchase was going to a good cause at the monastery.  [How's that for rationalization?]


And I did manage to find a spot for it on one of the shelves with other Blue Willow pieces. 


At LaBelle's I found four vintage hand embroidered linen napkins.  Shown below is a sugar bowl, but the other three have a cream pitcher, teapot, and teacup embroidered on them.

The tea bowls remind me of the size used in the 1700's, holding only a few small, precious sips.


And there was, indeed, a spot for it on a shelf.  


And lastly, vintage salt and pepper shakers with a mustard jar.  


The front and backs are different.  Zout is Dutch for salt.


My search for fall dishes in the Harvest Festival pattern continues.  Yesterday I went to another Marshalls store and found one salad plate, and a set of four napkins to match the tablecloth I purchased.


On the clearance rack I couldn't resist an oversized teacup that holds 15 oz. for just $6. 


That concludes my latest finds.  Have you been shopping lately?  What did you purchase?

  2. I do like all your finds! Those embroidered napkins are darling.and your new blue/white pieces fit into your shelves nicely. It is nice to be close to one Marshall's store, let alone a second one - and I'm glad you found some more of the pieces you want there. The only place I have shopped this week is WalMart - we do have one of these now, and while it is not my favorite place, I love the new "Pioneer Woman" line, and purchased a couple of lovely purple glass goblets that will mix and match well with the three I inherited from my grandmother. I enjoy reading about all your finds!

  3. Wow - some very wonderful treasures are here! Looks like a great day not only having tea but collecting. I especially loved the napkins as I always buy any with teacups, etc and have some very similar ones myself. Thanks for sharing Phyllis!
