Hi there...it's a shortened Tuesday Cuppa Tea due to...
Life!
We have had plumbing problems, needed to replace the kitchen faucet that revealed problems, had a computer problem and spring allergies have been severe! So had trouble getting an inspiration/finding time for my post this week....
But...
Hope you had a lovely St. Patrick's Day...I made corned beef and cabbage in my new Crock-Pot Express Pot which turned out very well...even despite beginner errors...

And I found a new Shamrock teacup! Always nice!
It's made by Salisbury, England from the 1950s. Lovely shape!
And our last Irish treats for dessert last night...a friend gave us some little cupcakes with green frosting and shamrock sprinkles...so cute...and tasty!
And I know you've seen my Shelley Shamrock teacup before....

So Saint Patrick's Day is past, and Tuesday March 20th is the official meterological first day of spring...at 9:35am...are you ready?
From Victoria magazine...a quote from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow...
If spring came but once
in a century, instead of once a year,
or burst forth with the sound
of an earthquake, and not in silence,
what wonder and expectation
would there be in all our hearts
to behold the miraculous change.
I COULD wish it didn't have the accomanying pollen, but....
Thanks so much for joining me today....
I am also joining

ReplyDeleteI am sighing over that new shamrock teacup...soooo pretty! I would snatch that up if I ever saw it, too. Thank you for hosting and sharing with us.
Love the shamrock teacup. What a great find!
ReplyDeleteOops, I lost my comment. So, I'll begin again. Sorry for all your troubles, Ruth. We have had a new kitchen faucet awaiting installation by a friend since last August. Leaky taps are a pain and sometimes friends are busy. I love your new shamrock teacup. What a beautiful find! This new season which is upon us is so lovely but I know for folks like yourself, it also brings its discomforts. Do take care, my friend! Hugs...Sandi
