How beautiful and inspiring. I'm going to bookmark this post, so when I feel like a tea party, I will come back for ideas. Thank you.
What a positively scrumptious post!
I love the idea of chronically your favorite monthly teas! Just beautiful!

That should be "chronicling." :)

Happy New Year, Carolyn!
The snow drifts are stressing me out here, and this post made me forget about it all. I'm going to go have some tea right now! Thank you!!!
I am inspired and enchanted! I loved these.
Hello Carolyn
I remember most of these teas and how nice it is to revisit them.
Can't wait for spring to get back out in the garden for tea.
Happy New Year.

Sooo pretty....! This would make a wonderful calendar. I tried to pick a favorite tea but I love them all terribly! I have gotten some good ideas for my two little girls April birthdays coming up! Little girls tea parties are so much fun! Thanks you for the inspiration Carolyn!
Hope you have a blessed New Year!
This was a lovely review of your tea parties! They are all so inviting and make me wish I could sit down and have a "cuppa" with you in your gardens.
I've just come back from a leisurely visit to your Christmas blog and thoroughly enjoyed my visit there. It was so nice to relax and look at all your gorgeous decorations/photography now that the busy-ness of the season is over.

How beautiful! I enjoyed visiting your blog.
One of God's many gift's is sight, and this is one reason why!
Your Tea Parties and the photos of them are enchanting... a fantasy come to life. It would make a great calender for 2011!

Your blog takes my breath away...wow...so beautiful!
Theme Tea Parties are one of my favorite things too! I usually have a blessing table where friends are invited to bring something 'like new' that they wish to pass on. Before leaving the tea party...I encouraged everyone to take something they need from the 'Blessing Table'. The BEST part is seeing the top of the table completely bare when the last person leaves. Blessings abound where people share. One year I place a new Longaberger table setting (plate/cup)...a lady was thrilled...needed exactly that (in that color) to complete her 4 place setting. Loved that.
I promise I'll be back to visit again soon...I'm one of your new followers.
Thank you again for sharing.
Your tea parties are all beautiful. It would be hard to pick a favorite. I love the ladies and their hats!!!
If this were a calender I would buy one too. These pictures are just lovely.
I need to find some friends who love tea as much as I do. I have never been to a tea party. I wonder if there are such groups in my area. I will have to look this up.
