Hello Snap, I was on a blogging break too for about three weeks. It's nice to take a break. Love your cat and mouse set! They are really cute. The Victorian Trading Co. has such wonderful and unique things. I have purchased a couple of things from them. Thank you for sharing and joining me for tea. Have a beautiful day.
The cat and mouse teacup is sweet, I should check out this company. Since I see you on FB regularly, I guess I didn't realize you hadn't been posting so much. I've never used FB so much as lately and rather like the sharing of a photo or news and friends can check 'like' and I know they've visited.
I'd be using the little tea set regularly, as it would make me smile as I curled up with my tea and a book. Mary Cassatt - I have always loved her portraits. Welcome back to more blogging - I'm back too, after a month-long enforced break.
Hello Snap I am hopping over from Jacoba's Blog. Your tea cup is precious... I love the Victorian Trading Company, I must visit the site again soon. Thank you for sharing.
How precious! Such adorable critters! I love whimsical pieces. Did you finish Laura's book? I loved it. Each time I read her books I wish the tea shop existed so I could visit!
That is the CUTEST tea cup, and so functional. Love it.
That painting is amazing, interesting knowing she is wearing a corset but she isn't sitting straight......I bet she was the first few hours, huh? : - )
Ladies were so lovely back then, so prim and proper and well dressed...as I sit here in my cutoffs and tee shirt. :-p
What a darling tea cup and saucer -- love the cat and mouse! Of course, I love Victorian Trading Company -- we go there every few months for you'll never know what you'll find!
Hi Snap, Your mug and tea plate are so cute today! Also love the animal pics on your post after this one. Thanks for visiting me! Have a happy week! Karen
I really like that tea time painting. How sophisticated to be dressed so whilst drinking tea. Thank you for popping over to my blog The bus cafe really was a fun place to go. I wonder what else we may find another day :o)
Your mug and tea plate set is great--a cat and mouse indeed! Thanks for sharing that great painting! Have a great night :)

The kitty and the mouse came out to play on my tea mug!

Isn't it cute?
I found it at the Victorian Trading Company.
Mug, saucer, lid and strainer.
It is stoneware and keeps tea nice and warm.
Fun to brew more than one cup, too.
Purrfect for lazy days in the heat and humidity and curling up with a book!

I've spent the last two months taking a blogging break -- sort of.
I made one post a week of the little pieces of art I was making on Index Cards.
That challenge is over and I'm going to slip slowly back into blogging.
It will be nice to catch up with everyone.
Here's a litte bit of tea art by Mary Cassatt.

It is called The Tea Cup and was painted around 1880.
I wonder who she is visiting.
That's way too many clothes for this heat and humidity!
A big thank you to our tea party hosts:
Tea Time Tuesday
Teacup Tuesday

Share Your Cup Thursday
May you be filled with loving-kindness.
May you be well.
May you be peaceful and at ease.
May you be happy.

Hi Snap,
I love your cat and mouse tea set and it's nice to have you back posting about tea again.
Happy tea time to you!

A good mystery and a cup of tea is a fine way to spend some time. I'm not familiar with the store you mentioned.
As for breaks, my posts are rather few and far between these days!

Well there you are! I had fun scrolling back to see all the postcards. You are very creative. Your new mug and saucer are cute as can be.
