I have an unusual friend here in the workplace.... of course -- I'm a weird one also!

So my guy sets down in front of me....a rather dusty but oh so precious teacup with a flavored tea bag!  He smiles... and says bye!!

No cracks or chips.... just perfect - surprise!

Saladmaster Estate - Porzellan (Bavaria, Germany)   It has small pink roses, a footed cup, scalloped edges on the saucer -- both lined - so delicately - in silver!!!

I am delighted...(A phrase I've recaptured... from reading old newsletters written by my daddy).... Delighted to to have the silver-edged cup ... my daily greeting.  The cup is like a warm, genuine smile!

I always google around to find out some history/location/manufacturer on porcelain and/or china...  I found absolutely nothing.... a few etsy sellers.    Would any of my tea friends own or know a bit about the Saladmaster Estate ? ? ?

Hello ~ my handsome Denzel (Equalizer)......  how is  

                                                           your cuppa tea ? ? ?

BTW....  I'm still blooming.... the front yard peonies are ready to explode!  

My hydrangea . . .

(s) . .  are new to the ground by only a few weeks.   I planted and I hope I kept the receipt/bucket... because Home Depot says I can return them if the fail and die.... banish the thought.  I'm praying daily for them....   It may take years to mature and shine so beautifully....

I want to nurture my roses (revive) . . .  They have a history dating back to 1965 in OKC from Chickasha, OK..... and onto Woodridge in 1979 . . .  until today......

 and I want Hostas !!!    

B-blessed today ~

Bev’s Cup of Tea!
