Trails of Hats'n Hospitalitea

I just love to sit with my coffee and take a look from my kitchen nook.

Have a look from the nook at the morning visitors I have that come by.

Another look from my nook displays some of my favourite dishes.

A visit to the local Value Village sent me home with a few favourites I’d love to share them with you.

I’ll use the tea cup tomorrow when the Women’s Institute of Winsloe has their Christmas Dinner here at Grandma’s Tea Room.

If you like I’ll take some pictures and show them to you on  Tuesday’s blog.

bye for now,

Good Morning!

I’m still here mussing and fussing about.

I have been busy over the last few days, moving rooms around.

I’m on a deadline, guests will be by the shop today.

Organizing is the better part of the mussing, do you think?

The fussing is when you re-organize it after it is done already.

I promise I’ll not do this today.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention my new plate I thrifted from USED.PEI.

It is a keeper, I love the pink roses, you know how much I love Pink.

I think it will look nice on a table setting with a yellow tea pot, don’t you?

I should get at these dishes, I have a lot to get done in the shop today.

I love to think while I do dishes, maybe too much.

I have a  layout all organized while I’m in the sink.

Thank you for stopping by while I did a little mussing and fussing. I hope you can make it by the shop and have a sneak peek at the mussings and fussings over there.

See you soon,

Some people are all about purses and shoes. Not me! I’m all about dishes and place mats.

Well this week I got new serving dishes and these are the best kind, recycled dishes.  My brother and his family were here for a shoooooooorrrrttttt visit -sob- and Sharon brought me some new serving  dishes. Two plates are from her mom and one the Chinese plate is from my mom’s cupboard.

I love the pink rose

This plate shows off squares nicely I got to try them both out at a high tea on Saturday serving 18.

This was mom’s plate. Sharon said mom had two in the cupboard, so Sharon kept one and gave me the other, wasn’t that nice.  It is different and we both know mom very well and a special person had to have given her these plates as mom was a Petite Fleur  sort of gal and this wasn’t her style, but it is ours now.  I’ll think of Sharon each time I see this plate now.

Got to run, guests are here for breakfast.  Then start baking squares for my red hat ladies tomorrow, they are coming for a tea party.
