Tea for Two!



Welcome to our little sunroom where we can enjoy tea for the two of us.





This pretty teacup is hand painted.





I love this candle in it's pretty toile box-you may have noticed I have a passion for toile!





These lovely hyacinths are definitely giving the sunroom a lovely fragrance!











I made a blueberry sour cream coffee cake- help yourself before I eat it all!















I hope you enjoyed our litle tea party! I am joining in again with Sandi at Rose Chintz Cottage Inspirations Rhondi at Rose Colored Glasses and Lady Katherine for their tea parties- so go and have another cuppa over there!



Thank you for visiting,



&



Enjoy your day!



Carolyn

Sooooo beautiful Carolyn! I adore the teacup with the violets. I'm working now on a digital scrapbook set with strawberries and violets. Your photos are exquisite. ♥

I have a teacup that looks just like yours with the violets. Needless to say, I have a small collection of violet china pieces.

I love the little doily under each cup. The blueberry coffeecake looks so delicious. What a wonderful way to start your day or have a mid-afternoon snack.

Hello Cathrin,

Your dish is unique, enchanted to see the pretty violet. You need definitely a lot of cabinets for your beautiful china.

Cordial greetings Melontha

Beautiful pictures as always. I wouldn't mind having a cup of tea and a piece of that cake at all, lol.

And the former post is just awesome. That room gives me a wish to have and have!

All you teacups are beautiful, but that little chintz ware teacup with the violets stole my heart. How adorable shy violets are.:)

Judith @ Lavender Cottage said...

Hi Carolyn
I just love the cup and saucer with the blue cornflowers - that would be my choice.
You and I seem to bake the same type of goodies for tea - my favourite to serve is also a blueberry buckle or coffee cake made with sour cream.
I'll have to settle for a very small piece of yours for now though. :-)

DesignTies said...

What a beautiful and yummy-looking post :-) Your teacups are so pretty, and your blueberry sour scream coffee cake.... YUM!!

I can almost smell the lovely scent of your purple hyacinths... spring is almost here!! :-)
