What a beautiful tea set! I love the blue and white, too. And thanks for the fun fact about iced tea--I didn't know that! Here in the south, it's all about the iced tea. :-)

How pretty, something so crisp about blue and white and those jonquils, that peachy hue, yum. xox
Good Evening Snap, What a pretty name for your tea set... Watercolour Floral. I love blue and white as well. My mother, my mother in law and my Grandmother always put the hot water into the teapot first, to warm the pot. I hope you had your feet up went you enjoyed your cup of tea. Best Wishes Daphne
Snap, I really like your new tea set and I can understand why. It's very pretty. Blue and white is so fresh and always right. Very glad you shared it with us today. Have a wonderful week and thanks for coming to tea.

A beautiful set, beautifully and artistically photographed. I'm having a cup right now on a cold, damp, rainy day. And I had my tea fix while in England and Northern Ireland! xo
Oh your new blue and white tea set is a gorgeous style and pattern! What a wonderful Christmas gift to receive. The scene looks so lovely with the light shining on your beautiful flowers! Hugs, Terri
I am so pleased you shared your beautiful teaset with Tea In The Garden!

It's time for tea.
This lovely set was a gift at Christmas --
teapot, teacup, luncheon plate.
Called Watercolour Floral Afternoon Tea Set.
The teapot holds 6 cups of delicious tea.
The whole set is quickly becoming a favorite.
I love blue and white.

"When making a great pot of tea, pour hot water into the teapot to warm it
while the kettle of water is heating."
"My dear, if you could give me a cup of tea to clear my muddle of a head
I should better understand your affairs."
~ Charles Dickens
"Iced tea was invented at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair
by an expatriate Englishman named Richard Blechynden.
His hot tea wasn't selling so he poured it over ice and had an instant success."
(From 365 Things Every Tea Lover Should Know)
