Blue Monday

It's a beautiful day here today, the sun is shining and there is that gorgeous blue sky that I like so much showing its lovely face.

I thought I would join in 'Blue Monday' hosted by Sally at Smiling Sally. So I hope I do this right! It's always a pleasure seeing what others have shared, so be sure and visit her blog for the list of participants!

Considering my love of teapots, especially blue ones, I was thrilled to find this in the charity shop last week. I feel very lucky to find this as it is the third blue willow pattern teapot I have found in the last couple of months and I've been without one for quite a few years now when my dear husband broke the spout of my favourite teapot. I did of course keep the teapot with the spout glued back on, but it is only for display now.

This is a copy of a teapot made c1820, but I'm not sure when the copy was made. This teapot is in lovely condition.

This lovely little cup and saucer and plate is also very pretty and very apt with the bluebells and butterflies. Mmmm, I think I will have tea and cake out on my newly transformed front porch this afternoon.

I hope the day continues as lovely as it started. I have lots of things I want to get done today and need to go and enjoy the sunshine now.
