Who says lockdown has to be boaring . Couldn't go out to a restaurant so I made something pretty and delicious at home.
The teacup is new to my wee collection. Had to use it! Hydrangea from the garden. It is so warm here some of our spring flowers are trying to bloom!
I never know what flowers I'll see when visiting the grocer. This time tulips and at a lovely price of $3.99!
Another image shot with the new Lensbaby Burnside 35, this time with a texture added.
I'm sharing my thoughts on the Burnside over on the blog www.definitelydreaming.com

Old fashioned china teacups and saucers arranged in Beaumonth House, for use at Margie and Mark's wedding.
A tulip, a Grandma's tea cup and old music sheets...just a few of my favorite things! Here's hoping your Tuesday is a fabulous one!
It was time to finish processing some of my images from our fall vacation. The upside to sifting through the files so late, is that I get to relive some special moments. This one day we spent walking barefoot on the beach where this iconic PEI rock is found. We met a trio of friends who live in the area and they walk this beach once a week together. They have done it for years. They pointed out all the changes they have seen in parts of the sea stacks around “The Teacup”. We had heard about this little gem from others so it was nice to have a beautiful day to explore the sea stacks here. It was a memorable day.
DADDY: “Would you like some tea, Paddington?”
PADDINGTON: “Yes please, Daddy!”
DADDY: “Milk?”
PADDINGTON: “Yes please, Daddy! Just a slosh.”
DADDY: “One lump or two?”
PADDINGTON: “Two please, Daddy!”
DADDY: “Very good, Paddington darling.”
PADDINGTON: “And a sticky bun, please Daddy!”
DADDY: “Alright Paddington.”
PADDINGTON: “And some macarons, if you can manage it Daddy!”
DADDY: “Well I…”
PADDINGTON: “And a marmalade sandwich or twenty, please Daddy!”
DADDY: “Twenty, Paddington darling?”
PADDINGTON: “I have a grumbly tummy, Daddy!” *Rubs tummy vigorously.*
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 30th of November is "coffee or tea". Being British and a traditionalist, I prefer tea to coffee, and I am not the only one in my household who is partial to a cup of tea, or two, or twenty. My Paddington Bear also enjoys a cup of tea for elevenses on any given day of the week. I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
Beautifully hand made by Merrythought in their historic Ironbridge factory, and based on the famous original drawings by Peggy Fortnum of Michael Bond's famous bear, the Paddington - Classic Edition is British-made (of course) and is truly timeless and designed to bring a lifetime of joy and companionship. Paddington combines the finest natural materials with four generations of the very best British teddy bear making expertise. His detailed design and expressive features give him a personality that you cannot help but fall in love with, and he will become a loyal lifelong companion - always by your side during the ups and downs of life, and a friend to make memories with! Made from woven mohair plush and soft cotton velvet, this Paddington is dressed in a pure red woollen felt hat and blue duffle coat with wooden toggle detailing. He is brought to life by a neatly hand-stitched nose and warm smile.
Made in a special numbered edition, I am fortunate enough to have number 17.
"Please look after this bear. Thank you."
The teacup I hold is one from a tea set for six complete with six trios, a milk jug sugar bowl and a cake plate. It looks remarkably contemporary in shape and style, yet it is actually from 1911. Produced by British pottery maker, Royal Doulton, this cup is made of translucent china so fine that you can see your hand’s shadow through it when held to the light. It bears a stylised Art Nouveau lily design painted by the most famous of Doulton’s freelance decorators, Robert Allen. To cope with their enormous output, Doulton used both in-house and freelance designers and painters, and in some cases these decorators also added pattern numbers to the wares. The best known is Robert Allen who added an ‘Ra’ number to wares decorated for Doulton in his design studio.
We visited some antique shops today for the first time since Covid began. No treasures came home with us but these glittery teacups caught me eye.

In the historic James Bay neighbourhood in Victoria, BC. teacups—and even a teapot—hang from the branches of a plum tree on Clarence Street.
Resident Rory Palmer began hanging the cups about a dozen years ago when his wife, Nairn Wilson, was coping with a breast cancer diagnosis and they needed a positive, creative outlet.
The tree also honours Palmer’s late grandmother, Eleanor Palmer, a local teacher and avid traveller. A placard beside the tree includes a QR code linking to artsREACH Society, encouraging donations to “Granny Palmer’s Favourite Children’s Charity.” Wilson, a retired teacher and principal, now serves on the board of the organization, which supports vulnerable children across Greater Victoria. 🌸☕
