My wee pot which I bought in England -- a pot for two. It's Indies by Johnson Brothers and I brought home two tea cups and two saucers. My intention was to have a tea spot in the bedroom for a morning cuppa.
Breakfast is a slice of organic whole wheat toast with Irish butter, a bowl of fresh raspberries sprinkled with sugar and a jar of homemade strawberry jam -- in case I want a bit of sweet on the toast.
All put on a tray and taken to the breakfast room where I leisurely munch my toast and sip my tea as I read the morning paper, work the crossword and watch the birds as they come in for breakfast.

Mmmmm - that butter melting on the toast - looks wonderfully yummy!
Can I just tell you that toast is making me hungry!?!?!?
Verry Delicious! How lucky the reciver of that tray is. Thank's for sharing....Julian
I saw an episode of Martha during St Pat's week where she was raving about Irish butter! I so wish I could find some over here. That breakfast looks just divine!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
Oh, this looks so pretty! Love your new little tea pot and cups. What a treat for yourself. It's wonderful to be able to slow down in our busy day and 'take care of yourself' a bit.
Be as sweetie,

Left a comment, but it disappeared. Was asking about the Irish butter -- better?

Scribbler -- Irish butter (or any European butter for that matter) is so much better. Worth the extra money IMO. But also best saved for toast and bread (NOT to cook with!!!)
Your tea tray and your breakfast are beautiful and look delicious. I'm glad you shared with Oliver! Martha, I really love your blog!

Oh my, this is just gorgeous. I love your beautiful china and your breakfast is just so yummy. You always do the most fabulous settings. Thanks so much for joining the party. Hugs, Marty
I relished every delightful picture, every word, and the 'thought of' every tasty morsel of yummy toast with tea and jam and the Irish butter sounds yummy also!..,
Thanks so much for partaking with this week's tea parties; for partaking with my 32nd, 'Tuesday Tea For Two' and also my 23rd, 'Wednesday Tea For Me Thee'!
I have a similar tray sitting on my husbands dresser! So often we
see things similar as we stroll through blogs...
How charming! And very impressive, I might add.
Your wicker tea tray is so pretty...and your teapot/cups just lovely.
I've never heard of Irish butter. My goodness, how can one live so looong and find brand new things every single day??
Your breakfast looks wonderful.
I knew that butter looked familiar! LOL. I just adore Irish butter -- it's so rich and looks luscious on that toast. Do you get the Kerry Gold salted? Would love to just settle in by your window. Jane F.
Hi Martha...

Warmest wishes,
