Hello everyone,
I really enjoyed Rhondi's third annual porch party yesterday and I still have more lovely porches to visit-it seems there are not enough hours in the day sometimes doesn't it! Thank you to all who came to visit me and welcome to my new followers too- it is always a pleasure to hear from you.
Today it is tea time and I want to show off some of my favorite tea things. Don't you just love these pretty teacups-they were a lovely gift from a good friend-thanks Heather!
There is one for you and one for me.
All the beautiful china shared today came from Reid House Antiques in Tyron(P.E.I.) last year. It is a great place to stop in and visit.
Yes, we still have lilacs here and the garden is full of their fragrance. Tomorrow I will take you on a garden tour-come to think of it- I have a house and garden tour tomorrow with tea and dessert-I better get busy!
Isn't it such a dainty pattern?
Remember the garden bench I got last week at Reid House well I also bought this pretty covered dish too. I have been pretty good lately about not buying things but I couldn't resist this or the garden bench. It is hard to be good all the time! ha
I think I may have wandered off the tea topic a bit but the color theme matched so well I had to throw in a few extra shots!
I hope you have some time today to sit and smell the lilacs!
Today I am joining in with Sandi at Rose Chintz Cottage for her lovely TeaTime Tuesday so you can go and enjoy some lovely tea over there!
Thank you for visiting,
&
Enjoy your day!
Carolyn

Hello Carolyn
You have picked out some pretty treasures from the antique store and I love the pattern on the covered dish.
I can't believe you still have lilacs on the island - lucky you!
Hope you have good weather for your garden tour - we're back to rain again.

Dear Carolyn, I just came across your beautiful blog site and I'm now a happy follower. Your tea cups so remind me of my Valentine's with so many pretty forget-me-nots! I love all things that are romantic and of course my love is the one and only Cupid!
Have a wonderful day.

Hello Carolyn,
Thank you for the tea. It was beautiful. I can't believe how many great things there are to look at in blogland this week. I have already spent hours and I have so much to do. Oh well, to quote a friend, we can't be good all the time. lol
