Ooooh, Royal Stafford "Carnation" is gorgeous! Wow, I love those colors, and the design. It is just super pretty! And I do love the light gold sponging around the edges.

Your teacup is gorgeous, you must have a collection like my friend Cuca, who has about 20 so far. I love your heart behind the pretty teapot too. Do they have a fragrance inside them, or are they doilys? Thank you fort your sweet and kind visit. Happy weekend.
