Tea for Two!



Welcome to our little sunroom where we can enjoy tea for the two of us.





This pretty teacup is hand painted.





I love this candle in it's pretty toile box-you may have noticed I have a passion for toile!





These lovely hyacinths are definitely giving the sunroom a lovely fragrance!











I made a blueberry sour cream coffee cake- help yourself before I eat it all!















I hope you enjoyed our litle tea party! I am joining in again with Sandi at Rose Chintz Cottage Inspirations Rhondi at Rose Colored Glasses and Lady Katherine for their tea parties- so go and have another cuppa over there!



Thank you for visiting,



&



Enjoy your day!



Carolyn

  1. Hi Carolyn!

    I had to stop by tonight for a dose of beauty on Carolyn can deliver!

    Of course I wasn't disappointed! Your images and pretties are always a breath of fresh air, especially on this almost spring day.

    Love it all!

    Your dish is unique, enchanted to see the pretty violet. You need definitely a lot of cabinets for your beautiful china.

  18. Beautiful pictures as always. I wouldn't mind having a cup of tea and a piece of that cake at all, lol.

    And the former post is just awesome. That room gives me a wish to have and have!

  19. All you teacups are beautiful, but that little chintz ware teacup with the violets stole my heart. How adorable shy violets are.:)

  20. Hi Carolyn
    I just love the cup and saucer with the blue cornflowers - that would be my choice.
    You and I seem to bake the same type of goodies for tea - my favourite to serve is also a blueberry buckle or coffee cake made with sour cream.
    I'll have to settle for a very small piece of yours for now though. :-)
