Hello Everyone,
Welcome to my summer white garden tea.
Peonies and Deutiza
A bouquet of Deutiza
I had this little tea a few weeks ago when the lilacs were still blooming . I did a similar one a few years ago with pink but I really like this little variation of romantic summer whites.
I hope you can sit and visit for awhile and enjoy some lemonade and cookies with me!
I am joining in Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch today and also Featured Nest Friday at French Country Cottage.
I am also joining Show and Tell Friday at My Romantic Home so there are lots of fun parties to visit!
Thanks for visiting,
Carolyn

I don't even have the words to describe this one. I guess enchanting is the best I can come up with.
What kind of a peony was that? I want to add some to my garden but have not found the flower I am looking for~until now. This the kind of peony I would love to have! Do you recommend it? Once again you do everything so beautifully!
Your tablescape is beautiful and so romantic!

Carolyn,
I know this is an older post, but I just love looking through old posts! I, too, have some of the American Atelier Baroque salad plates! I have an entire dinner service for four and I love them. I also have the Athena dishes by the same company. I wish they were still being made. I was lucky enough to be able to purchase most of the items I wanted before they stopped manufacturing them. They are so versital and beautiful! If you have a chance, come by my blog and visit my May 1, 2013 Blissful White Wednesday ~ My White Dishes post. Love your posts all the time!
Hearts to you,
Betsy
These photos evoke me fairy stories...
