Afternoon Tea

Hello everyone,

I am happy you could drop in for a cup of afternoon tea.

We better sit on the porch today because it is a little breezy in the garden.

Help yourself to a biscuit.

Couldn't resist a closeup of the baby's breath in the bouquet.

I love these little lilac double impatients.

My pretty teapot from a yardsale a few years ago.

I am so glad you could join me today.

A collage to end off my afternoon tea.

Today I am joining Sandi at Rose Chintz Cottage Inspirations for her Tea Time Tuesday-hope you have time to visit other lovely teatime participants there as well.

Thank you for visiting

&

Have a great day!

Carolyn

  7. Mmmmm, everything was delicious, Carolyn. And lovely cups, too. I enjoyed the porch. You can invite me to tea anytime. Thanks. Susan P.S. So glad the biscuits didn't even have any calories. How awesome is that?

  9. I knew visitng your pretty blog would lift my spirits. My 12 yr old pink Bourke's parakeet- Kitty died in my husband's hand yesterday. We think a heart attack.
    So we are all a bit sad around here today. Thanks for the uplift and the lovely invitation to "tea" today. A cuppa is just what I need.

  14. Your setting is wonderful today! The baby's breath of your is a much larger blossom than the kind I have here in Colorado. I'd love to know what variety yours is. Thanks for tea! ♥♫

  18. Hello sweet lady...

    Ohhh Carolyn, how do you do it? You always have the most lovely teas, my friend! I always swoon as soon as I walk in your blog door! I just adore that lovely green teacup with the pretty pink roses! I was thinking how perfect it would be in my Tea Rose bedroom! Hehe! By the way, thank you so much for stopping in for a visit! It's always such a pleasure to have you come by and I enjoyed your sweet note!

    I also visited your fabulous Monday mosaics! The lavender is divine! Sure wished we had a "scratch and sniff" option on our computer monitors! Hehe! Your flowers are equisite and your photos...breathtaking! Thank you for sharing them with us! Also, thank you for the lovely tea! I do believe that you set the most beautiful tea tables in all of blogland, my friend!!!

    Warmest wishes,
    Chari @Happy To Design
