Well friends, it is time for afternoon tea again and I took some inspiration from an old Victoria magazine.
As I was looking through some of my old Autumn issues I admired the hat this lovely lady was wearing and it reminded me(somewhat) of my old felt hat.
Such a pretty Autumn look.
Would you like to join me for tea on this warm sunny Autumn day?
I love this teacup.
I love old hats -don't you?
My daughter baked some yummy treats for us.
Have a seat and I will pour you a cup of chai tea!
Today I am joining Kathy at A Delightsome Life for her Victoria-A Return to Loveliness Party- such a great idea, Kathy.
Also, I am joining in with Sandi again for her lovely TeaTime Tuesday at Rose Chintz Cottage.
Thank you for visiting me,
Carolyn

Hello Carolyn :) Lovely tea post again! You are very good and recreating the pictures from the Victoria magazines. Even though your hat is not exactly like the one pictured, it still has that same feel :) Beautiful teacup; I can see why you love it so much! And your daughter has made some deliscious treats :)
Wishing you a lovely Tea Tuesday my friend!
Warmest hugs, Brenda
Hi Carolyn, What a lovely hat! It must be so nice to sit out and have tea on a beautiful autumn day...Kathy
Oh yes, I'd love to join you for afternoon tea. What a pitty, that you don't live around the corner. You look very nice with this hat and this wonderful brooch! Oh and those cups are so beautiful!
The weather in Switzerland doesn't invite taking tea outside today but tomorrow it should get better.
Kind regards
Alex

Good afternoon Carolyn,
What a lovely and creative post you have! Love your hat! Yes, I'm a hat person too; love them! Your tea pot and teacup are stunning! Beautiful colours and patterns. My mother is very frail these days, thanks for asking. I hope your mother is on her way to full recovery! It would be nice for you, Heather, and me to get together for tea one of these days before the Winter sets in. Enjoy this lovely day and thank you for joining me.
Blessings,
Sandi
I would love to share a cup of tea with you - especially on a beautiful Autumn day. Autumn is a time of magic.
Just beautiful!!! Everything you post is just amazing. I would love to sit with you and have a cup of tea anytime. I have all my old Victoria magazines as well...now I will go looking thru some of them since you reminded me how beautiful they are. I love hats I just never wear them I buy them and decorate with them. Lovely post thank you for sharing. As my daughter grows older I look forward to many tea parties with lots of pretty hats.
Hi Carolyn
Some of us can wear hats well, and you are one of those fortunate people. Your green felt, along with the pretty tea table could be right out of Victoria.

Hi Carolyn! Oh, you look so lovely and just like a page from the magazine! Now if I can just peep under that hat brim I'll really be able to see your pretty face! :) You know you're a very sneaky little one. :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Just like a Victoria cover! A beautiful Oct day eh!
Sou lovely and beautifel!!!

Hi Carolyn...
Ohh yes, I do love old hats and your felt hat is lovely! I sure wished that I looked good in a hat...I have always felt that I didn't. You look gorgeous, Carolyn...you are such a beautiful lady! Ohh...and your autumn tea is nearly as lovely as you! I do love that beautiful autumn colored/pattern teapot and teacup! Your tea table is gorgeous as always and I really enjoyed your beautiful photos, my friend! I don't believe that I ever seen that issue of Victoria...it looks scrumptious! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful tea with us...it is always such a treat!!!
I also wanted to thank you for coming by and taking a peek at my new autumn place setting. I always enjoy your visits and sweet notes, my friend! Thank you!!!
Warmest autumn wishes,

PS...it looks like I have a bit of catching up to do...here at your place! I'm looking forward to browsing through your posts that I have missed!
Hi Carolyn! What a beautiful post this is ... love the Victorian theme you have chosen. Yes, the hats were marvelous! I love the idea of a tea party! And, thank you for your kind note about my Fall buffet ... that's so fun that you have the same birdhouse! Take care, *Becca*
Che splendida signora, sei...

Charming, Carolyn. That cup has got to be Royal Albert. Loved it all! Susan
Very lovely! And very Victoria! You're a natural!
What a beautiful post! The magazine inspiration pictures are lovely, but you in your hat, etc., are just gorgeous!
Great presentation!
Katherine
Thank you for inviting me for tea ~ of the chai variety. but I must confess , my hat is not pretty like yours ~ would you perhaps have a little bouquet of delicate flowers to pop in the back ~ then I will feel proper and enjoy my tea and chat.
~Dianne~
I would like very much to share a cup of tea with you, surrended by the beauty of the autumnal garden of yours.
A very lovely post dear Carolyn.
Did you ever think of publishing a book with your beautiful posts ?
They deserve it.

Hi Carolyn,
Such a pretty post! You look beautiful with your felt hat, matching cardigan and cameo. Very much ready for a romantic autumn!
I think the photos of you could be placed in the magazine straight away! You look so young....can't believe you are already a grandmother. The teaset is beautiful as well!
Happy day & lieve groet, Madelief
What a lovely post, I'd love to have tea with you Carolyn . I love the teacups and enjoyed your beautiful pics.
Have a nice day
Rita
Dearest Carolyn,
Love the Victorian idea! Aside from the tea and all its pretties I was admiring your hand knitted bolero... Who mastered that one? Your Mom or are you into it yourself?
Sunny greetings from Georgia,
