Pretty roses that match your teacup. And you know, I abide by that quote all the time. If the days are nice, the house suffers until a cool or rainy period to catch up on housework. :-) Judith
Hi Snap, oh you are so funny. I love the gardeners quote on the end. This tea cup is from the new RA collection, right? Its really lovely. And I love your roses. Oh, I am so crawing for my roses, but they are all still sleeping beauties. Thank you for your kind comment on my blog. Best greetings, Johanna
Oh Snap, I love the quote at the end! The Royal Albert teacup is beautiful with your very own roses to enjoy! What joy for the senses as well as the soul.
Snap, your roses are gorgeous! The teacup matches them perfectly. We planted a new rose garden last year. Can't wait to have my own blooms. A few of the bushes didn't do so well with our hard Winter. :( Thanks for sharing with Share Your Cup. Hope you'll share often!
I agree with you about the roses and tea. And what a beautiful RA teacup! I really like the new OCR patterns. They had sets on at Christmastime for a good price and I neglected to purchase one. I hope they run them again this Christmas. Your roses are beautiful and I'm so anxious for my own to bloom athough I know it will be several months yet. Thank you for sharing and coming to tea.
I agree %100! Roses and tea feed the soul! Yay! Your tea cup is so lovely. I had not seen that version of OCR before and I love it! Hugs, and happy rainy spring days! Terri
Talk about weather - we are having a blizzard and everything is closed today. Your roses are incredible and hard for me to imagine such a thing! How lovely these photos are next to the teacup! Thanks for linking to Friends Sharing Tea!
Oh, Snap, do you manage to have such gorgeous roses so early in the year. I know you live in Texas, but even so... We've had a lot of rain in Portugal this winter, but the sunny Spring days are already blessing us here! Have a great week!

I love roses and tea as well. You speak truth with how they feed the soul. I don't have any luck with growing roses, though. I am not much of a green thumb :(
I completely agree with the quote about God making rainy days so gardeners can get the housework done. I get frustrated when my rainy days are committed to being away from home when I love nothing more than a cozy day inside cleaning, puttering, and getting some crafting done.
The roses are beautiful. Our roses don't even have buds on them yet...too cold and rainy.
The teacup is very nice. It is pretty, yet sturdy looking, and also looks like it fits well in the hand.
You have roses blooming already, I have garden envy we are still weeks away from that happening in Michigan. Have a great weekend, Laura

We had a very big rain storm last week.
Lots of wind.
I decided to cut some of the roses before they were destroyed by the storm.

There's something special about your own roses from the garden and a cup of tea.
The tea cup is Royal Albert Country Rose.
Lush pink and gold blossoms plucked from the Old Country Roses collection
are contrasted by bands of buttermilk-yellow in everyday porcelain.

Such lovely roses and gorgeous photos! The tea cup and books make for the perfect composition.

I guess I'll take this as a sign that it's time to put on the kettle, but no roses to enjoy. Yours look wonderful.

Each photo is more stunning than the previous photo. Just lovely! But I really like the last one with the roses nesting around the cup. Nice!
April 9, 2013 at 12:53 PM
Oh, Snap, do you manage to have such gorgeous roses so early in the year. I know you live in Texas, but even so...
