Hello everyone,
I am glad you stopped in as I just finished setting the table for a casual lunch here in the garden.
I picked some phlox for a bouquet.
I have set out some of my dainty pink and white china.
Grab a plate
pick out your favorite teacup
pour yourself a cup of tea
maybe you would like some iced tea in my new pitcher bought at my neighbours auction
Did you find a spot to sit ?
Today I am joining Susan for Tablescape Thursday again. Thank you Susan at Between Naps on the porch for hosting this great event.
Take care,
Carolyn

Carolyn,
Blessings to you! Hello from HomeHaven and wishing you well.
Had a lovely time at your place!

Beautiful weather and dishes.
Glad to stop in,

So pretty! Your china is lovely and your gardens are fabulous! I'd love to be a guest at your luncheon. I also love that you have Anne of Green Gables clips on your sidebar...your place on PEI reminds me so much of all those "Anne" books I read growing up.

Very beautiful Carolyn!!! Have a blessed day!!
Gorgeous! Of course it always is! Dining in your garden would be such a treat ... even on a paperplate! :) I hope you can stop by and enter your name in the giveaway at Color Outside the Lines. I know you could do some fantastic things with the loot! :) Cheers!
I so enjoyed your post today, as always, but this one really invites me, and I would dearly love to actually be sitting there, having a cup of tea with you. Just wonderful...love the pretty teacups and dishes. Lovely!

Everything looks so pretty, just like a fairytale.
I would love to be there with you enjoying the view and having a cup of tea from those gorgeous china cups and saucers!!

All around gorgeous! The vintage dishware is so pretty and I love the way you mix and match and it all looks so good together. The garden outside is just the perfect setting.
So beautiful Carolyn. What time should I be there? You have such a lovely collection of china.
I loved the post on the rest of the story. The picture of your sweet g-daughter and the pram is beauiful. Always a gift to come here.
Hugs,
June

Oh, I so want to come and lunch with you in the garden! Everything looks sooo beautiful!
Beautiful, beautiful! Your china is so lovely and it looks wonderful with your gorgeous gardens!~Patti
As usual I'm never disappointed. It was fun joining you for lunch today. Have a Blessed Day Joyce from Mo
Lovely settings rose patterned china my favourite. I have a Royal Albert Moss Rose dinner/tea service, not made any more but it is such a pleasure to use.
Hello Dearheart...
So happy to stop in to Aiken House and Gardens today, my friend! It's all just as gorgeous as ever! Well Darlin'...for setting a "casual" table as you put it...it is certainly a treat and such beautiful eye candy to this old gal! Ohhh...I just long to have that cup of tea in your beautiful garden!!! It's lovely, my friend...I always just love looking through all of your pretty dishes! So how long did you say that you've been collecting them? A couple of hundred of years or so? Hehe! You have so many, many pretties!!! Love your new pitcher and I must admit that I'm more of an iced tea drinker than of hot tea! I think it's due to the 30 yrs. I spent in a warm south Texas climate! Thank you so much, Carolyn...it's always such a treat and a pleasure to come by your place for a visit!!!
Warmest wishes,
Chari
How pretty!! I thoroughly enjoyed my visit :o)
I would love to join you on that lovely table. All the things I love--vintage, flowers, silver and birdcages! Thank you for being the charming hostess that I am sure you are! Have a great weekend!
Oh wow, this is totally stunning. I LOVE the dishes. The pattern is so pretty. Also your birdcage would be perfect decorated for the Cloche Party on the 11th of Sept. You can click on the button on my sidebar for all the details. I hope to see you there. Everything is so elegant and so pretty, I have really enjoyed your tablescape. Hugs, Marty
Carolyn, I always look forward to clicking onto your blog. Because I know you're going to have excellent photography, delicate pretty things, and I can glimpse that gorgeous garden of yours! You truly inspire me every time I visit!

Happy weekend,

My goodness -- this feels like an English tea party with the queen! Just lovely!
Hi, Carolyn,

Pretty bouquets and beautifully presented tablescape. Looks like a wonderful day at your place.
I do love mixing china patterns and silver patterns. This is so lovely!!! And the setting is just perfect for an afternoon cuppa.
Well done!
