Someone must have made this a long time ago.
I began finding things to go with it. Houses often have Ivy (although this one doesn't) but since I had a nice ivy decorated platter I thought it would be a good addition. Then I found the little cup and saucer with ivy and pretty little yellow flowers and then it just moved from there. I found the green checked towel that was originally a feed sack. And the pretty little towel on which someone had embroidered some yellow flowers. I had some dried hydrangea from last fall so put them in the little clear vase to tie the whole thing together.
And here is the platter. It was made by Homer Laughlin. From what I can gather Debutante must be the plate style. Or even more confusing, I read that it is the Julilee plate pattern with decals which makes it Debutante. But there are many different decals designs that have Debutante as the mark. The company must have had reasons for doing this but I don't know. It makes it hard sometimes.
So it all comes together for this weeks tea party.
I hope you are enjoying this weeks Tea Cup Tuesday. Here are links to some of the other sites.

Great tea cozy, Beth! Love the springy floral teacup too. Happy Tea Day!
What a great collection of items that do "feel alike" in style. Very cottage and very sweet and I am so glad you shared at Friends Sharing Tea as this is exactly the kind of fun post I love!
The cozy is too cute and your tea cup is bright and cheery -- thinking about spring! Happy Tea Day!
I like that pattern of china Beth. Anything with ivy on it is always good!

I adore handmade items like that tea cozy. I always wonder about the lives of the women who made them. So much time goes into making handmade items, they are treasures.
I adore your tea cup Tuesday vignette this week...'tis so spring-like and cottagey. I love the house tea cozy, it looks as if a lot of time and love went into the stitching of this one.
Hi Beth,
What an adorable tea cozy and Queen Anne teacup! The pretty yellow pattern is a friendly reminder that spring is on the way. Thank you for sipping tea with me today.
The tea cozy must be one of a kind, it's adorable. I want to say how much I like your bell pull too Beth, that would have been a fun project.
Love how all your tea items go so well together! Your tea cozy is so cute and a lucky find!

What a great way to bring a collection together! I love all the vintage linens (I can't resist a nice piece).
