Tea Time by olivetreeann

Tea Time

No scones, clotted cream, strawberry jam or tea from Devonshire in the house today )o: But I do have this lovely tea cup that my grandmother Hamilton gave me (o: So I'm posting that with apologies to all my friends in the UK. I hope you had a scone or two for me!

Just 4 June word: Cream Tea (yum yum indeed!)
Joy in June: My favorite tea is a chocolate strawberry tea I discovered a while ago, but I can't drink it at night any more- too much caffine! However, a cup in the morning still brings a smile of joy!
Lovely still life and it works well for the themes.

@taffy Thank you Taffy- it's not as creative as I'd like, but I'm in a busy season so they have to be quick!

If you had a grandmother Hamilton, we might be relatives! I'm a Hamilton (as well as a Munro) and half the settlers went to Canada and the other half to NZ! It is a beautiful piece of china!

A quick thank you to all tonight- I must get to bed! But I will come back to look at your pictures tomorrow. Can't wait to see them!!

@maggiemae Maggie- if you can trace your Hamiltons back to Edinburgh, Hamilton or Glasgow Scotland, we may be distant relatives! Wouldn't that be neat!!??
