Romantic Dreams

Hello Everyone,

      I am enjoying the lovely summer weather and so I am having tea in the garden again today-hope you can join me!

      

The chair was an old brown one from the thrift shop ($10.) and a coat of stain perked it up nicely.

The little picnic basket was a gift from my husband's aunt and it also got a coat of paint.

The chintz china looks pretty against the blue-green color of the chair.

Some pretty roses for the little picnic basket. I am sure there are some lovely scones,clotted cream and lemon curd inside this little basket!

.Don't you just love these sunny summer days?

I hope you enjoyed this sunny summer afternoon tea as much as I did creating it for you!
I am joining Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday.
Thank you for visiting me.

Take care,

Carolyn

The Delicate Beauty of Roses!

Hello everyone,

    It was a perfect summer day here today and another one coming tomorrow. I have been enjoying taking some photos of the beauty all around me lately so I have lots to share with you.We don't have any garden tours for awhile so we can be a little more lack- a- daisy about it for a week or two-so now I will bombard you with more posts!

Oh! a peony slipped into my rose post-sadly the peonies are pretty much past now so I am happy to have the roses to enjoy now.

I am happy that you stopped by so I could share the delicate beauty of a few of my roses with you.

Tomorrow we are off to the beach with a couple of our grandsons-oh, the joys of summer!!!

I hope you have a lovely day too!

Tea Time

Hello everyone,

       I am happy you stopped by today for tea as I made some cupcakes and I need a little help eating them!

Let's have a cup of tea and a sandwich or two first.

I am not a fancy cake decorator like some of you so a little viola is as good as it gets around here!

I thought we could sit out under the mock oranges today and enjoy their sweet fragrance and beauty.

Hope you enjoyed our tea and cupcakes under the mock oranges today.

I am joining Sandi at Rose Chintz Cottage today for Tea Time Tuesday.

We had a strange day weather wise today as it started out sunny then a thunder shower followed by sunshine and finally a little more thunder before cooling off for the evening. I took lots of garden photos early and then lots more after the rain to capture the beauty of the raindrops! I will share those with you later and the roses are blooming now so I took some pretty pics of those too.
 
Thank you for visiting,

Carolyn
