Hello everyone,
With all the beautiful warm sunny (record breaking temperatures) days we are having it is still lovely to have a cup of tea in the garden.
It is a perfect time to enjoy browsing through some of my favorite books while having a cup of tea.
Our bouquet today is an autumn bouquet but there are lots of pastel colors still in the garden too.The chintz teaset isWild Rose by Skie McChie.
This is a Rose Cameo Peach tea cup from Winner's.
I have joined our local photography club recently and I am really enjoying it so far as there is lots of good information and some very serious photographers. So far, I haven't been brave enough to share my pics on their monthly slide show but someday-maybe!
I am joining BNOTP for Tablescape Thursday where there are always lots of beautiful tablescapes.I am also joining French Country Cottage for Feathered Nest Friday.
Thank you for stopping by again and thank you for all the lovely comments on our autumn porch.
Carolyn

Hello Dear Carolyn.....Oh my goodness. Why HAVEN'T you shared your fabulous photography? I'm sure ALL of the club photographers could learn a thing or two from you. You just don't realize what magnificent talent you have. You truly could produce ALL of the photos for Victoria Magazine and the readers would be swooning. This is not fluff. This is TRUTH. Susan from writingstraightfromtheheart.blogspot.com
We enjoyed the tea, the photos, the atmosphere... the beauty!
We loved the visit... thank you!
What a lovely fall setting! Love your selections for these photos.
We always associate afternoon tea on the lawn with crisp white tablecloths and pretty pink floral cups and saucers... but you have managed to transform the tradition with your lovely rich autumnal colours! Beautiful job :-)

Carolyn, your Autumn tea is lovely. Love the chintz tea set and rose peach teacup. I am loving your bouquet of hydrangeas too. I hope to plant some of those myself. The weather is wonderful, isn't it?
Blessings,
Sandi
This is all so beautiful. So welcoming.
Yep, I have to agree with Susan! Very Victoria Worthy, m'dear! Loove the cheery fall colours. Thanks for inviting us to your table today for an uplifting tea experience!
Hugs,
Linda at Beautiful Ideas
love the colors, the pitcher is perfect!
Carolyn:
Here it has been damp and chilly so your invitation for tea a welcome sight for me!
Drooling over your dreamy oasis..such a creative expression of your good taste!
I too joined a photography club and have yet to allow my photos to be viewed by the members..kind of intimidating with so many pros in our group. Yes I've learned lots but never take the time to practise..question of priorities I suppose.
Your images I'm sure are up there with the best!
Sigh...... how I would love to be sitting there with you. The tea service is gorgeous. Love the teacups. Everything looks so very lovely.

Oh, you know I love it! I love the fall colours in your flowers and china. I don't think you need to be shy about showing your photos at your photoclub at all! They are always so beautifully done. Pamela
That pitcher is so perfect for your fall flowers! I'm loving all the color. Your photography class sounds so exciting! Have fun with that!
Your photos are definitely worth sharing! I hope you do soon. And these with the fall colors are so lovely!
This is just wonderful!! Perfect colors for this transition time into fall. Your china is gorgeous!! The atmosphere of the whole setting is just lovely!!

Everything is just beautiful. enjoyed my visit
Carolyn.. I think you do these colors beautifully:) Like some of the older Victorias..remember?
Gorgeous.
Wait till they see your shots..you'll knock their socks off.
So pretty, Carolyn. I love the shades of oranges and ivory.
You definitely need to share your photos. They are always outstanding.
Have you heard from Helene Glehen lately? I know she used to visit you. I've been trying to reach her, but the e-mail address I have is being returned, and her blog is not active.
Carolyn, what breath taking photos! That 8th one where it's all put together and we're sort of peeking in should be in a magazine or decorating book. You certainly have a way of setting the right mood. Lovely.
This is beautiful! I love it! Your china is very, very pretty. I love roses.....just the perfect place setting to stop and have a cup of tea.
Blessings My friend,
Go on and share your photography! It's great! You will be the hit of the parade! Beautiful china...I really love it! The flowers all look so pretty, especially those papery white puffs en masse!!!
I was excited to see your post as I am considering an Autumn tea myself! But I could never achieve the elegance of your fall garden party - so beautiful! You inspire me!
I don't know haw you can do it, but I'm happy you do it!
I really love your pictures...
Diana

Your early Autumn outdoor tea is wonderfully set and so inviting. Love your photos and for what it's worth, I think you should share your photos with the photography club. They're beautiful!
Such a lovely spot for an autumn tea. I can't even begin to imagine that there are any photographers in that club that are taking any photos more beautiful than yours. Honestly.
I feel like I'm browsing through a beautiful magazine. You must love spending time making things beautiful. Aren't you lucky!
Dearest Carolyn,
Oh, for tea I always will join you. Especially for this time of the year it works great. You got my book, The Pleasures of Tea... so we must like the same things.
Have a great weekend and love to you,
Mariette

You have created such a beautiful transition to Fall in your gloriously gorgeous garden. Thank you for sharing your exquisite design. Cherry Kay
What an incredible setting for tea! I love the boldness of the brown eyed susans in contrast to the delicateness of the china. Makes me want to pull up a chair, pour some tea and dive into one of your wonderful books!
How enchanting... everything blends into the colors of autumn. Love the set and setting...

Oh, you MUST share your photos! You always capture the beauty of everything you photograph. Be brave, my friend - be brave!
