I was just having some fun with a huge begonia plant my neighbor gave me the other day. Thanks Holly!!! It is beautiful! I nipped one of the many gorgeous blooms from it and played around with it in my studio. The little stoneware pot is from somewhere out in the Western USA, New Mexico, Santa Fe...I think. It was a long time ago when I was there. I was just a teen when I got the little pot. It is only a couple of inches high. I though they looked charming together.

I have a collection of china tea sets consisting of a luncheon plate, teacup and saucer. Each set is different, no 2 are alike, although they are all probably best described as "country cottage floral". I also have a collection of assorted demitasse cups. I have only two pairs of demitasse cups that match, all the others are different. Most belonged to my mom, my paternal grandma, or my maternal grandma. I love these little sets, and this little demitasse cup and saucer is one of my favorites. It is more formal than the others and the only one in black. The little pewter pot is is one of 2 pewter pots I have, also inherited. This one is really tiny, only big enough for one cup. I have never actually used either of these treasures but I do really like them.

This was shot on a piece of black glass hence the pure black and slight reflection of the pot.

Just a spoon on a piece of silver star studded wrapping paper.

Thanks everyone for all the Birthday wishes.
