Birdwatching Tea #2

Thank you so much to Susan at

 Between Naps on the Porch for hosting

Tablescape Thursday!

Today is my second tea scape in my Birdwatching Series.

The bird of honor today is the beautiful blue Blue Jay.

Mom has had several of these birds at her feeders.

They are so interesting to watch.

They often grab a seed, retreat to a lower branch to eat,

then come back for more.

I wish I were able to get a good shot at his back feathers,

brilliant blues, whites, grays and blacks.

I took cues from these to build my pallet

for this week's tea scape.

My Blue Jay Tea scape!

I love the intricate detail on the dark blue teapot.
This is another from the "Mom Mom Friend" collection.

The B&G collectors plate is one of two Mom purchased on EBay.

She bought two, one for each year her children were born.

This one is my year.

(That makes me how old?)

This precious figurine is a Hummel from Germany.

Notice the blue flowers in her hand.

She is titled:

"From the Heart" or "Fur Dich"

I just loved Mom's little white Wedgwood teacup,
with the gold trim.

Perfect for a tea for one...

The mark on the bottom of the teacup.

I added a blue flower print napkin to my tray.

I had so much fun "playing" with Mom's collection!

Thank you for joining me to for tea..

and birdwatching!

Next weeks bird is a surprise.

(Frankly, because I haven't decided myself yet!)

There was a beautiful red headed woodpecker today at the feeder,

however, he was too fast for me to get a photo.

I'll keep trying, he is worth it!

Please join me tomorrow for Art Work Friday.

I hope to have Mr. Linky up and ready by 8:00pm tomorrow!

I was thrilled to have 8 people join me last week.

I loved browsing through each creative piece of ArtWork!

Everyone is so talented!
