Teacup Thursday: "Bird Chirping Weather"

-
My favorite weather is bird-chirping weather. 
 ~Terri Guillemets 

 Look what we spotted in our garden this week!  It caught us by surprise to see such brightly colored yellow finches enjoying themselves on our fence! What a pleasant sight! Can you spot all four finches? You have to look closely! 

To match our pink peonies in the garden, I tried to find a teacup that looked like them! This was the closest one that I could find!! Have a Happy Tea-Day!! ~ Miss Spenser

    I think you picked a perfect one to match your lovely peonies and your bird-chirpin weather, Miss Spenser!

    And your background music is some of the loveliest I have ever heard. I hate it when it ends too quickly. : - )

    Such a pretty teacup! Gold finches are my favourite little feathered friends! We don't get many brightly coloured birdies here on the Island so the finch is always a welcome sight! Happy Birthday to you, Donna! Thanks for hosting and have a delightful day.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    Beautiful, beautiful teacup!

    I have been enjoying goldfinches SO much this spring. I have a black thistle feeder and sometimes have 14 of them outside my kitchen window. It's been wonderfully entertaining.

    Spenser, Your garden is beautiful! Love the tea cup too. We have an oriole feeder up and they are visiting us multiple times each day. They too are brilliant and beautiful birds.

Teacup Thursday: A Teacup to Take Home

Here is a picture of a treasure I found in California... While Kiley and I were shopping at a little antique store in Cambria, we found two teacups that looked EXACTLY alike!! I told Kiley, we should both get one!  Then whenever we look at them, we can think of each other!  And, when we chat on the phone, we could both be sipping tea out of matching teacups! Kind of like the friendship necklace idea only in teacups! :) This post draws us to a close in my trip to California... hope you enjoyed seeing the pictures!
