It's me and my keyboard ~ and Ascona ~ today !

I want my world to touch base with the elegance of TUESDAY CUPPA TEA bloggers  . always a fun party-way to feel more connected to this wonderful work of people God has placed on the planet.  The linky party is open today.....   Do make a visit...join the party .....   I'll list my friends at the front of this post!!




First reflections on my drive to work today.... its abt 17 degrees on a Monday am....  I've begun the BREW of teabags in my Teavana thingy-a-ma-jig and my super hot teapot!


I've had my morning oatmeal, friend-visits and chats.   Computer on.... and I've delayed taking my meds because the glucose monitor reported super-lows on Superbowl Sunday!   Then it's a high this morning via monitor reading of abt 269 mg/dl.

I'll sip the mini cup of Castleton Ascona cream-gold-blue floral teacup... This single cup and sauce is so endearing to me.... (early 1950's - like by birthday!!)  It has a footed cup and the saucer has a gold pearl edge that makes me want to just run my fingers over again and again.    I can better adjust the level of heat by which I totally enjoy sipping my tea.... (a small bit of ginger crystals added)!

Tuesday Tea Cup via Memorial Day ~ May 2014

Here's my life in pictures . . . 

The smooth silver handle, the cup mouth is wide and flowing.... 
Castleton China @ home !! 

 or @ work . . . .  Purchased the teal blue-green cups at an Estate Sale last April 2014.   I've also seen the pretty pink Castleton China  ... and was tempted to buy a cup or two!!!  But a-las; I resisted for the time being!

Delightful ! !

Oh So Lovely "Made in America" by Castleton China

I'm hooked -- hook- line - and  - sinker....

'Tis another Thursday... and another Estate Sale on NW Highway.  I see it on my drive to work, and returning at the lunch hour!   I find the lovely pink white flowers on Turquoise lined with Silver trim....   I find that I really like drinking from a low-base, broad rim tea cup (not one that stands up high and erect like the Royal Albert!!

The drink is so inviting in the cup!!  It's about 4" wide and 2 1/4 inches tall:  saucer is 5 7/8 " wide.   It is noted as a footed cup and saucer set in the Corsage pattern by Castelton-USA.   Price $7.50 for both...



I bought two... I'll have to find a friend to share a cup of tea!
