Hello, I am happy that you came for a visit today as I have the teapot already.
Why don't we sit in our little cottage where there is a nice breeze coming in?
I have used my white china today.
White starfish
White linens
I made us some dainty sandwiches.
creamy roses
bouquets of white hydgrangeas
I think I got carried away here-but I hope you are still with me.
Well, we have enjoyed a nice long visit,
so evening has slipped up on us-I will light the candles.
I love the cottage by candlelight-so romantic.
Well, maybe you would like to spend the night here and save a trip home tonight?
Today is Tablescape Thursday over at Susan's lovely blog Between Naps on the Porch so I am joining in again this week. It is always fun to check out Susan's creative tablescape and the other participants as well. Thank you Susan for hosting.
Take care,
Carolyn

Hi Carolyn
What a delightful way to start my day, having tea with you in your beautiful cottage. I'm just imaging what we would talk about. I'd love to stay the night but it might be crowded because I'm sure everyone who reads this today will want to stay too!
Hope you enjoy your day.
Hugs, Rhondi
Hi Carloyn,
What a lovely and serene retreat! Tea in your little cottage would be delightful and oh so romantic at night with candlelight. Hubby and I are heading down to Basin Head for the day, so I'll bid you a beautiful day, my friend.
Blessings,
Sandi
What a lovely and bright cottage! I'd love to take a tea there!
Have a great day!
Oh! I'm afraid that if I came for tea, I would never want to leave. I could live in your little cottage and be happy all the days of my life. : )
So beautiful.

HI Dear Carolyn! Oh, how lovely! What a beautiful setting for a tea and you have just dressed everything so wonderfully. You have the touch, Dear One! Yes, thank you, I think I just might stay over if it's no trouble! That bed and the candlelight look so cozy! :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
your post is one of the most beautiful rooms i have ever seen!!!!
Thank you for inviting me for tea! ;)
I had a lovely time! What a beautiful place to visit. You have such a gift for making a space something lovely! :)
Carolyn, I had the best time!
Enjoyed visiting with you and the cool breeze gently blowing in to cool us as we chatted. None of that burning Kansas heat. This was so refreshing.
The sandwiches were sweet and carefully made. You're the best.
You know how I enjoy your lil cottage decorated with light colors. This is so very pleasant.
Take care and thank you for making us all feel so pampered and special.
Truly yours,

Your tea table is set to perfection! Just a lovely way to post your whites! Love the teapot with bird sitting atop - I have one too! I've enjoyed my tea and sandwich, loved your company, and am now ready for my nap in the lovely bedroom you've prepared for me. Just beautiful, as always!
I'll be right over! Are there any sandwiches left?
Love the photos!
Sigh...just beautiful. Thanks for the inspiring photos, they have added beauty to my day.

Such a wonderful retreat, I could use one today. You are so Blessed that is it real for you.
I am Blessed that I can dream about it.
Thank you for the lovely tea, that and the sweet music make for a very relaxing time. Hugs ~cindy s~
Dear Carolyn
Isn't it perfect summer weather? Although you're right about the humidity - we're just not used to it.
Your garden is so beautiful - I enjoyed catching up on your latest blooms. I have an Annabelle too. They're so pretty. Also my hydrangeas are in full blossom. I had to water them today though - they were wilting a bit.
Your cottage by candlelight is gorgeous! Don't be surprised if you find R and I there some morning - especially if you're serving waffles :)
This is so pretty. C, you really do need to create a book about the fairy tale life you live.
Carolyn... what a delight coming here! Hope I can still join you for tea on your lovely garden setting.... I love your blog!

I love your Blog sooo much - so many beautiful things. This is my favorite post with all the white. You are very talented!! Thank you for sharing all the beauty around you.
How elegant and classy! What a lovely setting to have tea.
I love those tea cups and it was fun taking tea with you today. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful home with me.

Very pretty ... love all the white.
Oh, what a wonderful post to start my day. I love all your dreamy whites and, yes, I could spend the entire night in that lovely bed.
Everything is just beautiful and I thank you for working so hard to put up a magnificent posting!

So beautiful and romantic!
Carolyn, Absolutely DELIGHTFUL!
You have such a talent for decorating and setting such a lovely table, right down to the last detail.
I adore white on white, it is so calming and serene ~ as always it's such a pleasure to come visit you.

PS The more photos the better! :) It's such pleasurable eye candy.
OH MY GOODNESS!!!! Your cottage is just breathtaking - the tea party is a dream come to life.
Carolyn,
Blessings to you.
You had asked about copying, if you want to copy the Anne of Green Gables that would be fine.
May you have a wonderful day.

Beautiful display!!! You have created a lovely and serene table!!! The white is so crisp and fresh and all of the details are perfect!!!
I love it!!!
Enjoy!!!
XOXO

SO pretty, I loved all of your photos, especially when the candles were lit, candlelight adds so much to an evening, so tranquil and romantic:)
You have gotten so many comments, and they are all better than anything I could say.
However, you have inspired me to search out the white item I have collected from a zillion estate auctions, rummages, etc., and try this myself!

Your little cottage is just dreamy!! I'm afraid that I would overstay my welcome, I wouldn't v
ever want to leave!!

What a lovely tablescape. I am so glad I stopped by. Hope you come by soon. Connie
Carolyn, I could never tire of looking at your house! You have the most romantic images and gardens and I just want to go through the computer and meet you there! Everyone must want to be a guest at your house, and have pretty dainty little sandwiches in the loveliness of your home.

I have been reading your blog for alittle while now - I have to comment on this post! That was a breathtaking tour - absolutely stunning - I have a cottage near New Glasgow NS - just a hop across on the ferry - I could make it for tea anytime :) Nancy LeB
What a beautiful table you've set! I love your monochromatic color scheme. It's very romantic and feminine.
