Tea for One Set, China .....Garden Cup and Saucer .... Pink Saturday

It's that sweet,pretty day again..Pink Saturday. Time to get to see all the wonderful,frilly..and just simply gorgeous pink things. This day just kinda makes my week all happy and better. our dear hostess Beverly works so, to bring us all together for a day of enjoyment.... I would like to nominate our own sweet Beverly as The Blogerette Of The Year. Do I hear a second ????? Do I hear a third yay ?????
We all love you Beverly..and so you're my shout out this week. Everybody..go by
HowSweetTheSound and leave a Hi and a Hug for her. I'm ready to go visiting the early posters of pretty pinks..so I'll see you all out visiting..
This little tea cup and saucer is one of a set of two that I happened on. I absolutely love the little pattern...and I'm sure the sweet flower fan shape has a name along with the other tiny flower. It has a teeny gold rim..and a tiny stroke on the handle and a thin gold rim around the bottom. The mark on the bottom says the pattern is China Garden..there is a little bonsai (sp??) tree above the China garden and then made in China. I thought too late to take pictures of the bottoms of both my pictures. *sighs and flicks self on forehead

I found this little sweetie awhile back and almost missed it. I was,of course,as always and as usual,looking for Pyrex. I went on the back aisle for one more look for tiny plates and there it sat. I almost went duh to myself, and I don't mind doing so in private, but public chatting with ones self draws attention. Well, I can tell you,having left one Tea for One set sitting while I looked around (yes,you all know how that had to go)...this one went into the basket. Didn't know who made it, didn't care..it was cute and so the little tea set came home with me.
The markings on the bottom say..
Alco Industries
Cranbury,NJ
Made In China
Hand Wash Only

  13. Happy Pink Saturday, dear CC. Thank you so much for your kind words. You've made my heart happy.

    I'm so glad you found these pretties. Isn't it fun to happen upon something unexpectedly?

    And, I am so glad you love my work space. I waited a long time to have it. Waiting all of those years gave me plenty of time to think about the details of the design.

  23. Hi CC, a day late but better than never I guess..I love both the cup and saucer and the teapot and yes glad you just grabbed it and put it in your cart! It's happened to all of us, while you are 'thinking' about an item, another person is too and grabs it..Dang!! And I talk to myself all the time, I figure that age gives me the right to do that, lol..
    Hope you are gettng along ok sweets..and yes our Beverly for Bloggerette of the Year!

    hugs

  27. I think it is o to not care of the brand all the time. WEll, especially if you get to see something as pretty as this! It's a teapot with a cup on it own. Tea for one? Pretty and cute, I say! :-)

  28. CC,
    I love your beautiful Pink Saturday china! I hope you're still on the mend. I've been out of touch for the last two weeks since I've been on a long camping trip so I'm just now catching up with my Pink Saturday friends. Thank you for visiting my blog while I was gone and leaving the sweet comments. You asked me where you could purchase tea tree oil for the homemade antipersperant; I order it from SwansonVitamins.com, but I got my first bottle at Walmart. It's in the vitamin/herbal section of the pharmacy. Please let me know if you try my recipe and what you think. Hope you have a lovely week my friend. It's so good to be home!

  29. Happy LATE Pink Saturday, CC!! OMG..I'm so behind in my visiting...too much going on in my house, and away from my house, these days! BUT I'm here now....and I LOVED the sweet C/S you found (one of a set of two)...I would like to be there with you to enjoy some coffee or tea in the other set!! Now the single set you snagged at the thrift store is darling!! I have to tell you, that you shouldn't be doing that self-flicking stuff to yourself!! It leaves red marks and folks will wonder!! :) I really got a chuckle out of that!! Hope you had a great Pink Sat. and an even better new week!! dana
