This set was in the parlor.
We drove home Sunday, going a different way than we normal go, and came upon George Washington's birthplace. It is part of the National Park system, and is free to the public.
In a house on the property they have it set up as it might have been in his parents day. I was delighted to find a collection of tea pots, and zoomed in to try to capture them.
Here you see them on the left in the photo.
I'm joining Sandi's No Place Like Home party and Bernideen's BTTCG blog party.
Dear Deanna:
ReplyDeleteNow that was fun! Isn't it fun to see "other people's" tea things. And to get to see where George Washing grew up was really special. I am so glad you shared your special trip and visit!
So pleased that you and Tim were able to get away and that this place was your destination. Perfect planning on someone's part! One can save on a lot of cabinetry if displaying all the dishes.
ReplyDeleteYou had such a great trip! I so enjoyed this post and seeing what YOU saw!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, you must have been in tea heaven!! :)
ReplyDeleteI am also noticing that citrus arrangement on the dining table. So lovely!
