I thought you might enjoy afternoon tea in our little garden cottage today. It is a bright sunny day and warm enough to enjoy a cup of tea.
Maybe you would like to curl up on the bed with a book and warm throw for awhile.
I do love all transferware but red and white is the one I collect the most.
I am enjoying putting some Christmas touches in our little cottage. When I am done playing I will share some photos.
This is a little electric stove that my daughter gave me-it doesn't really give much heat but it adds a little ambiance. I think if we had a woodstove out here I might move in!
Well, I hope you can enjoy a cup of tea with me in our little cottage. It is so relaxing in here don't you think?
Thanks for joining me today,
Carolyn
Beautiful, it looks like we have some similar pieces, one can never get enough!!!

Would love to have tea at your house; perfect!
ReplyDeleteRita
These pictures of your cottage are beautiful! They need to be in a magazine!
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteYour garden cottage looks very pretty. It must be quite a job to put up all the Christmas decorations inside the house and outside as well! I like the way you do it. It looks very warm and comforting.
You wrote about the Andrew Sisters during the memorial service. Those ladies must be quite old now. I did not know they still performed!
Have a lovely weekend!
Lieve groet, Madelief
Alway enjoy a look at your red and white. The blanket thrown in fits right in with how chilly it feels here in the south today after an almost monsoon of rain over the past few days. I so enjoyed the post about your dad and meeting your sweet mother. I know you visit her every day. I bought my mother a beautiful pink journal and she has started writing her story, especially tales of her childhood. I wish she had started sooner but she seems to be enjoying the memories now and I know we will have a treasure.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, you are a wonderful hostess. You have thought of every detail to make a visit pure perfection.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn.....Now this is what I collect...red and white! It looks so lovely in your settings....beautiful!~Patti
ReplyDeleteI am so envious, it is snowing here today, no time to do a post, tomorrow is opening day of firearm deer season and my job is in Game and Parks.............AAGH! But I have time to look at all of your wonderful posts. I love your little studio.
ReplyDeleteSo peaceful, and pretty... I'll be there in a sec! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove

Okay, I'm just as jealous of your red treasures as I am of your green!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing them with us!
All the best,

ReplyDeleteCarolyn, such a lovely retreat ~ your photos would make a beautiful coffee table book. I'm so delighted that you share glimpses of your pretty world with us.
ReplyDeleteI love red and white too, though I only have a few pieces.
Have an enjoyable weekend, dear one. xo
A wonderful tea set, Carolyn. I have a similar blue. Beautiful photos!
