Teacup Thursday: "Spode's Tower"

-

My copper kettle whistles merrily
and signals that it is time for tea.
The fine china cups are filled with the brew.
There’s lemon and sugar and sweet cream, too.
But, best of all there’s friendship, between you and me.
As we lovely share our afternoon tea.
~Marianna Arolin

Make sure to take time to sit down with your dear friend
 and enjoy a cup of tea this year!

    I have one of these, and have been looking for one in red too. I think it's called Red Tower. It's so pretty.

    I love the pretty blue tower Spode teacup and saucer. My husband buys a Spode dish on each trip when we travel in England.
