Rococo & Poppy by maggiemae

Rococo & Poppy

Whatever that means! It's on the back of this sweet cup and saucer set. I bought it as a gift for my sister who is having a birthday next week. It has two plates with it so she can put sandwiches on the other plate.

Three good things:
1. The ideas for photos are coming into my mind but the execution as yet to be tried.
2. Lots of lovely spring flowers in the garden of which I cannot tell you their names as I have forgotten once more!
3. I love purple! Well some shades.
I guess the blue flower is a poppy and if I remember correctly rococo is a stylized and fancy way of decorating (like the guilding on the tea cup)- I think it came out of the Rennaisance. But I could be wrong since its been a while since my Fine Arts days! Pretty tea cup!

That looks really yummy. I am glad you have pic ideas! I may have given you one more.... Mr. Metal is in training to go up against Mr. Man... And maybe win Yolanda's heart

The cookies look delish! how does that fit in with your 600 calorie diet?! I would HAVE to eat them after using them in a shot like this! I really like the light and composition.

Definitely send Mr. Man to a gym. MB is very competitive!!! ;~} @espyetta

Lovely present for your sister....these afternoon tea cups & plates are very popular here at the moment as afternoon tea is all the rage.
Everywhere in hotels & nicer places you can purchase afternoon tea, price about £15 per head varying on the place, you get sandwiches with the crusts cut off, scones & lovely cakes. All beautifully served with cloth napkins etc!!!.

The china pattern is very pretty, and the way they're set out here suggests a decorous English tea. I like the dark background and the rellections in that lovely tray. I'm sure your sister will love her present.
