The Best Sugar Cookies


 Please come and join me for my birthday and share some tea and the Best Sugar Cookies.


 My friend Rosie, gifted me this gorgeous Royal Albert Purple Violet teacup, that she had saved her money, and bought for her late mother years ago, when Rosie was just a young girl.  I was honored to receive this teacup, because I knew how much it meant to Rosie, and she knew that I would lovingly care for it.  When I told Rosie that violets are my birth month flower, she was so surprised and thrilled.

 This gifted February teacup is always special to use during my birth month. 

 My late Aunt Kitty painted this teacup, along with the matching luncheon plate, as a bridal shower gift.  I have a set of six different designs, and they are just so special to me.  I keep the plates on display in plate racks, on either side of my hutch.

  We celebrated my birthday a day early at my youngest son and daughter-in-law's with most of my family there.  Don't you love how Hayden is looking at me?  She kept singing "Happy Birthday" to me!  When it was time to leave, she said, "Don't go!"  It's so nice to be loved.


I am sharing this with these lovely parties:

    The porcelain tea cups enchanted me! I also like violets a lot. I have already painted a set of flowery cups and an era with violets.
