Today I am showing the tea tray that I am using for my February centerpiece. This ceramic heart-shaped teapot goes well with February and Valentines Day. I purchased it years ago at our local cheese factory (we do live in Wisconsin!:) that has two great warehouse sales every year- at Christmas time and at Easter time.
If someone would like a nice cup of tea, I would gladly use this to serve them--it's ready to go- just heat up the water.
This milk glass sugar bowl and creamer were a Goodwill find about 30 years ago.

The spoon is from my husband's grandmother's wedding silver that we inherited. We use it for special holidays and special occasions.
I bought this teacup at Goodwill also with the intention of using it in a craft that I had seen. I recently pulled it out and served my daughter tea when she wasn't feeling well.
I read recently that you can repair little cracks like this by boiling the teacup in milk. The protein in the milk seals the crack.
Have you ever heard of that before? I hadn't, but I'm willing to try it!
I borrowed this little vase from my daughter, Amanda, who purchased it from Micheals. Just the right size for this rose. She had dried rose petals in the base, which I left in for color.

A great centerpiece.
Linda, please pick up the Lemonade Award at my blog: http://zarogasnook.blogspot.com/2009/02/award.html. I was just too sick at the time to name specific names. You really deserve the award.
Your centerpiece is a lovely vignette that is also a perfect setting for entertaining a friend or family member with a spot of tea.
Great treasures. I especially love the teapot. Thanks for sharing them.
Blessings,

I love your teapot ! it looks sooo romantic !
Your teapot is beautiful. What a treat to be served a lovely cup of tea from your tray on a brisk afternoon. Maybe a few shortbread cookies for good measure? Perfect comfort food.
Thank you for dropping by and leaving your sweet comments. I hope you'll be back often.
Hi! I'm so glad I came across your blog today by filtering through different folks comments. I am a lover of tea, teacups, teapots, and especially tea trays. I just bought two this past weekend to add to my collection. I love the scripture your DIL put on yours she gave you. How precious! Be blessed! ~CC Catherine of "Catherine de th`e Cups" (Stop by for a visit)

I love the teapot! Just love it! lol The tray is wonderful! Now if the milk works on the tea cup, let me know. I have some old old plates of hubby grandmothers, and can't bare to give them up. I thought of doing a tray of mosiacs. I could boil the plates in the milk, wow that would be a lot of milk. lol
Thanks for the awards! I will come back and get them. Busy with grandchildren,I got to catch up on my blogging!
