It is such a beautiful sunny day here.We did get several inches of snow overnight and schools are cancelled but the snow has stopped and the sun is shining . My house is tore apart here as we are doing a lot of painting but I am looking forward to the end result.
So in the middle of this I stopped for a little tea break.
I found this set of dishes at Coulson's a few years ago. I think it is so pretty.
I made an orange pumpkin loaf for our tea.
It is nice to have a tea break but my work is calling-I do have an extra paint brush if you are so inclined.
This is what our little part of the world looks like today. Do you see the bluejay who posed for me on the top of the birdhouse.
The bluejays look so pretty against the snow.
You can see we did get some snow lately. Today, Sandi at Rose Chintz Cottage Inspirations is hosting a tea. Sandi,is a fellow Islander and we used to play house together when we were children so you can see we both still enjoy our tea parties!So,pop over and say hi to Sandi (Click on Sandi) and join her for tea as well.
Take care,
Carolyn

Good afternoon Carolyn,
You are not too late for tea. What a wonderful display of teacups and china you have for us today! Great shot of Mr. Bluejay too.
As beautiful as the snow is, I'm really anxious for Springtime to arrive. Thanks for stopping by and I have added your link to my post. Have a beautiful day.
Blessings,
Sandi
I really would love to join you for a wonderful cup of tea and a bite of the cake.

Beautiful tea set.

Very cold, very rainy day here in the sunny south. Chills you to the bone. So it's nice to see your sunny snow! About ready for a cuppa to warm myself, but it won't be as pretty a set out as yours. Enjoy your painting!

Your tea cups are lovely Carolyn and the little cookies are perfect for tea. The birds look quite pretty against the snow....have a good week!
What a pretty tea set Carolyn. I just happened to take a tea break myself from working and view a few blogs. So nice to share it with you.
Hi Carolyn! Oh, what a pretty tea service you have. I love how you set everything up - so lovely. Now your loaf sounds delicious! I think I'll just pop on over for a cuppa! :) Can't wait to see what you're painting!

What a beautiful tea set! Great shot of the bird on a snowy day.
Hi Carolyn! What beautiful dishes you have today, and the cookies and pumpkin cake both look delicious! So glad the little Blue Jay could join us too! Now I'm wondering how DID you get him to do that? Did you promise him extra birdseed?! An extra suet cake? As for the snow.. we've been VERY lucky so far, but I think we've got about 3 or 4" on the way, starting tomorrow some time... Nice to meet you today, and hope to see you again for tea next week! ~tina
I don't mind coming and help you painting as long as I can sip tea from your beautiful cups and enjoy the beauty of your teaset and home! :-)
Your tea set is quite lovely. the bread sounds delish! Love the bluejay pic.
Blessings!

Your dishes and tea cups are just gorgeous! I could have just sat down for a bit and had a cup of tea!

I especially like the gold lattice work on the teapot. Love the bluejay. I've never seen one before.
