This is a post I am re-posting from last year. My lavender is blooming and this sweet pottery has been a favorite find of mine. I have received many hits on this post. The artist, Deb Mores, that created the pottery found my post and has left a comment. This pottery now is on my kitchen cabinets and I love to stop and admire it. It is such a cute tea set. This post last posted on 8/30/10. I am usually not very lucky at Goodwill. I really don't bother going because I never find anything, but this week I did. I found this tea set by Deb Mores. The pattern is Buzz Buzz. It was made in 1999.
The tea pot and sugar are shaped like a straw bee hive. The are bees buzzing all about. Lavender is blooming all around to keep the little bees happy.
A bee perched on the tea pot lid. There is also a bee on the sugar lid.
As luck would have it, my lavender just bloomed a second time so I picked a bunch for my tea.
I also have found a lovely little tea towel made of cotton and linen that has been hand embroidered with little bees.
I was really pleased with the find. I got a large platter, 4 dinner plates, a pitcher, and this tea set for $12.75. The tea mug is from my Corelle Country Cottage. It just about matches the color of the lavender on the tea pot and accessories.
Thanks for joining me for a late summer tea...buzz.....buzz

I love your finds! I raise honey bees and just found out today that one of my hives is gone...so sad! I am naturally drawn to 'bee' decorations! Just so fun and what a steal! Christie at www.threepixielane.blogspot.com

Bon appetite!!!Have a nice day
I think this is going to be my favorite tea time this Tuesday! I love the whole set, including the linen tea towel. My husband is a bee keeper so this especially appeals to me.
What a darling find. That little bee on top the teapot is just as sweet as… Well as sweet as honey. Wonderful find and such a perfect napkin to go with the set. I’m also secretly jealous of your lavender. Mine did not make it this year and I wanted to make fresh lavender wands. Take care.
Sherry, how cute is your bee tea set! Now, that's a wonderful find; so charming with the bees and the colours! I would love to be able to grow my own lavender. Love your napkin too! I have the same blue Corelle mug! Thanks for sharing and for stopping by for tea, my friend. Hope you have a beautiful day.
Blessings,
Sandi
Happy tea cup afternoon

All I can say is cute, cute, CUTE!!! What a lovely set you found there, and I love that you styled your bee set with bread, honey and lavender. Very creative! Stopping by from Tea Cup Tuesday.

Oh, did a nice find at GoodWill...did you find the towel there too...what a nice setting you have here...yum, the honey looks good and fitting with the bee hive!
Hi Sherry, your Bee Tea is darling. What an awesome Goodwill find. I think your napkins and lavender are so sweet for the lovely tea party.
Our Goodwill is good at times and not so good too. It pays to be a regular visitor.
Hugs, Jeanne
Oh, you got lucky! How sweet this is...I would have grabbed it too!
You can find me at one thrift store or another on a regular basis. I find the greatest treasures there, both to sell and to use in my home.
This was quite a cute find Miss Sherry! How perfect the bee theme goes with honey in your tea.
I'm your newest follower, I'm so glad I found your beautiful blog!
I'll "bee" back soon!
Bee-have!
I can go on and on but don't worry I won't. LOL
I am never very successful at our GW either but it looks like you hit the honey pot this time. I love all of it.
hugs from Savannah, Cherry
What a wonderfully charming set!! And those tea towels are just the cutest thing!!

You have shared such a sweet setting. Love the bee theme. Warm regards, Connie
I love your tea set and tea towel. I used to have a honey jar made with a bee hive style and loved it! I would jump for joy if I found a set like this~ Happy Tea Tues. on Wed, Theresa
Hello, dear Sherry! Oh, I've been having an awful lot of fun poking around!!! I've just seen a whole lot more that I need to go off and see - a whole row of candles - a fall table. You have just infused me with such a happy mood - I don't know how to explain it. I love these bees on the tea set. What a find! with the bread and the tea towel and the lavender - it's sooooo beautiful! I am gushing! Enthralled was the word I kept thinking of. Hooray! Beautiful post.
Okay, I'm off to check out some more fun stuff. You totally have me inspired to do something around here! =]
Love, Katy xo
P.S. I love the pretty peaches on our blue plates and I love your zinnias in the background of that adorable table with the pumpkin on it!!! AND, I LOVE THOSE PLATES, too. ahem. Yes, yes, I do.
Oh, How lucky you are! The bees are just darling! I adore this set!! The linen is wonderful too! Love your lavender! I have a Teapot, but not any other wonderful Bee pieces! Thank you for sharing this on Tea Time! I just love it!!!!!
Just love the Bread too! Save me a piece!
Hi: Your set is so pretty. I never have luck at the Goodwill either. I am so glad you did. It is just beautiful. Thank you for sharing your treasure. Blessings, Martha
Great pix! I love honey pots, and all things bees. I normally have GREAT luck at our Goodwill! But I think I have a great one from what I've heard!! Take a look at my G-Dub finds!

That is absolutely adorable!
I just LOVE this post! I rarely find anything at GW, but you really scored big with this. I love anything with the bee theme; I have a woven bee skep in my kitchen. Your pottery is just precious, I love the embroidered tea towel, and the bread looks delicious. Thanks for sharing, and Happy Seasonal Sunday.
