Tea With Vera the Mouse & Friends


Some of you may remember our friend Vera from Marjolein Bastin's books. She has many delightful friends, and some of them are my friends too.


Whenever they come for a visit we get out the tea things. Naturally.



Life always gest interesting when Vera comes to visit. She has such an original way of doing things. Like camping out in a flower pot!



But she can be very down to earth and have a simple tea with us.


It seems like everyone comes when Vera is about. We have to buy lots of milk for everyone.




And yummy goodies too!



But is there anything lovelier than a tea with friends in Summer?

































I hope your Tea Time is wonderful too!
Ciao! for now!

Jacqueline

    Oh, how cute this is. I remember seeing a tea set for children called Brambley Cottage or something like that. I was thinking this little mouse was in it. I always loved that little china tea set. You reminded me of it with this post. Your tea is lovely you china charming and it was so nice to visit with Vera.

    Jacqueline, I love Vera the Mouse and all of Marjolein's drawings. Your teacups are so pretty - love the yellow one as it looks similar to one of mine. Have a great day!

    I believe next time Vera goes traveling, she must drop in here and pick me up so we can both show up on your doorstep. I love your post. The cups are amazing - wow. So adorable. xo marlis

    I'd forgotten about Vera and Her Friends...Haven't read them for years. I used to be a kindergarten teacher where they were a favorite. I love all her books! Thanks for the reminder and the lovely tea with Vera you let me share!
