Peaches & Tea

Hello everyone,

We had a lot of rain today so we

postponed our afternoon cream tea

until next Tuesday at 2 pm.

However, I have made some peach

preserves for the tea to go

with the scones and devonshire

cream.

We are going with a blue and white

theme and our teacups are ready.

I do love blue & white!

This teapot is special as it belonged to

my Dutch Mama.

An enamelware tea set from

the 70 mile yard sale a few years ago.

We are hoping for a nicer day next

week but we did need the rain.

Thank you for visiting,

Carolyn

Hello everyone,

I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

We have been having lovely sunny days

here with enough rain to keep our garden

happy.

The garden has lots of  a

Annebelle hydrangeas

in full bloom now.

We have hundreds of daylillies

in bloom as well in all different

colors.

                                                             As we say goodbye to July

                                                             the garden will burst into

                                                             it's most colorful time with

                                                             phlox, hydrangeas,day lilies

                                                             clematis etc. in bloom.

  

                                                 If you read my previous post

                                                 you know we are hosting

                                                 an Afternoon Cream Tea

                                                 next week. All our tables

                                                 are already spoken for and

                                                 Barbara and I are looking

                                                 forward to it. Our theme this

                                                 time is a more casual Blue &

                                                 White theme so we have been

                                                  gathering up all the blue and 

                                                  white china, tablecloths napkins etc. 

                                                 This time we are happy to have a young

                                                 harpist in the garden as well.

                                                As with our previous tea all the money

                                                will be donated to the people of Ukraine.

                                                            Thanks for visiting,
