fresh flowers are most welcome any time of year in my opinion and I find that in mid winter the delicate fragrance of hyacinth blooms and the elegant beauty of tulips are especially sweet…
the little child’s tea pot lost its lid long ago and the precious espresso pin cushion was created by my friend Nathalie…
I am joining in with Elizabeth and Bleubeard again this week and wishing you lots of sweet moments…
speaking of sweet look at the wonderful mixed media gelli print postcard that just arrived in my mailbox (THANK YOU so much dear Christie♥)…

Now that’s the kind of “sweet tea” I’m willing to share, I find sweet tea a bit too sweet, but not this post, with your lovely tulips and hyacinths. And who wouldn’t be proud of your pin cushion tea cup? I know I would.
Thanks for bringing a bit of spring to my world today: a world filled with snow, with more on the way today and throughout the week. You have truly brightened my Sweet Tea experience today.

Beautiful flowers and tea pot. I think I’ll pick up a little bouquet for myself when I’m out grocery shopping on Friday. I sure could use some flowers to sweeten my surroundings with all this snow!
Nice choice of proverb-I chose a Chinese tea proverb too (wink)

The colour of the hyacinths is so intense against the purity of the tulips. Our hyacinths tend to be long gone by the time the tulips appear.
