Sleeping Beauty has awakened with the first kiss of Autumn. I can't believe that I've slept so long without writing to my Dear Blog friends. Possibly recuperation from surgery took longer than I had anticipated .
Yes , I know Autumn means that the Wintry blast is just around the corner, but I have decided to just bundle up and enjoy the brilliance of the season with thanks and a relaxing cup of tea.
I personally love the unusual shape and clean hand painted design of this rare 1918 Melba, bone china creation. That is one, sweet little handle!!!
It is a lovely example of teatime beauty complete with it's registration number . Since I'm going out to the back yard , I best be careful not to drop it.
Autumn reminds me that it's important to keep in step with the season and it's changing appearance... Just as trees are being renewed with colour ...
We have decided to rejuvenate my 150 year old " Dancing Lily Studio with a confectionary palette of paint on the window frames .
I have three colours in mind for the house, pink, green and lavender.
Here you can see the green with a lavender inside
and the next example is the lavender with a green inside.
Which one do you like best?
Due to the rainy weather conditions, the main body of the house won't be finished until next spring, but the experimentation is exciting. ( Ha Ha) I'm sure that it will set the scene for a lot of community curiosity that will in turn, promote local gossip !!!!
In the meantime .... I'm sitting in the backyard sipping and enjoying my tea, while hubby paints, so .... ultimately there is a little "reasoning in my madness"... OMG .... but aren't we having fun !!!!!

How nice to see your post, Zaa. Ohhhh, I'd go with the lavender, for sure. Lovely!
Hope you enjoy each moment of beautiful fall. Susan
What a elegant tea cup from 1918. I do not recall seeing Melba china. A modern design from that era. I prefer the green trim and would never tire of it. Maybe bits of lavender can be accented here and there. Thanks for sharing your tea cup.
Oh, my what a pretty tea cup! I adore blue and white but I'm lusting after that one! And such an old one too -- that makes it even more precious!
My vote is the green with violet inside.
Your Melba teacup is amazing! From the shape of the saucer to the shape and design on the teacup and wonderful handle. What a treasure! I love green! Happy Tea Day!
Your Melba Tea Cup is simply lovely. I like it so much, that I simply had to pin it to my Tea Cup Tuesday Pinterest Board, linking directly to your blog post. It was is so nice sharing Tea Cup Tuesday with you. My blog is marywaldsvintageplace.blogspot.com stop by for tea cup fun, and say "hi".
Just so you know, your linky on Ruth's Tea Cup Tuesday is not working. I had to come search for you. It was worth it! That is some tea cup.
What a lovely teacup. I have heard of Melba China and may have had one in my shop from time to time but just looked and didn't see any just now. And I would pick the Lavender...
Hi Zaa,
I'm so glad you're back to tea time, too. I see you were away longer than I but it was a grand return with that gorgeous Melba tea cup to celebrate Autumn.
Happy Tea Day, dear friend, I wish you all the best.
Hugs
How good to see you! I didn't know about the surgery. Welcome back, my friend! The teacup is lovely! But because of the Registration mark, and the shape and design, it is definitely art deco and was made somewhere between 1934-1935. Art deco designs are my favorite, and Melba made great ones! A lovely fall teatime...the leaves are gorgeous! Thanks for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

Welcome back to tea time, Zaa! I'm sorry I didn't know about your surgery. Good to have that behind you.
The Melba teacup is simply precious. What a wonderful design. As for the trim; my choice would definitely be the green with the lavender inside. I am a green girl at heart. Thanks so much for joining me for tea and Happy Autumn!
