The basket had flowers in it and was a gift from my parents in 1989, when I had a particularly heinous operation. The military flew me from Florida to San Antonio, Texas. I was gone nearly 2 months over Christmas and my youngest son did not remember me when I got home, oh ya, heinous, but, I digress....
I found the tray at Goodwill for $3.00 I absolutely love it. I think someone made it. When I washed it some of the stain came off so I think I'll put a coat of varnish or some sealant on it. The candle and little holder I found at Cracker Barrel, as well as the Indians.
Now if the Indians appear to be sweating that is probably because I managed to drop Mr. Indian and broke him clean apart in 3 pieces; feet, torso, and head. Sad.... luckily Elmer's fixed it right up and he's good as new...
just a little nervous! ha
Happy Tea Things Tuesday!!!!!

Hi Valerie, Sounds like you had quite a time with that surgery..I hope you're all over it now. The teapot is beautiful, just beautiful, and with matching cups, a lovely gift from your parents. I love the indians...so glad you were able to put it back together...the tray is great...love the wicker bottom. I think a coat of lacquer is a good idea. Beautiful fall look for tea!
Blessings,
Mary

Very beautiful teaset. Love it.
Valerie, that is one gorgeous tea set you have. Just perfect for the Fall season. It's wonderful that you can use it for serving tea and also just as a seasonal display. Adding your little Indians to the vignette makes it even better.

Hi, Valerie,
I always look forward to see what tea things you have for us each Tuesday. Your teapot and cup look very much like autumn. They are both so cute. I also love the (nervous) indians. Don't you love Elmer's glue. I use it all the time to mend things. Sending autumn blessings your way. Vicki
