Hello everyone,
I am happy you stopped by as I have afternoon tea all prepared for you.
I was in the mood for some pretty pastels today.
My husband made this 3 tiered plate for me by drilling a hole in the center with a special bit on his drill. He is definitely a keeper!
Love this pretty teacup from Winner's.
I also love this lacy little stand for sweets or teacups that came from TJMAXX a few years ago.
The heart shaped biscuits look pretty on the bottom tier.
My iron angel is keeping watch.
One of my favorite teacups-a thrift find.
I have a gift for you before you go!
Love that rose!
I am joining A Delightsome Life for Home and Garden Thursday and Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday.
Thank you for stopping in for afternoon tea.
Take care,
Carolyn

And here we had a Spring like day, Carolyn! It's just crazy weather lately! I love that three tiered stand your hubby did for you. What a guy! : ) It sounds like a great afternoon for some tea and magazine reading.
ReplyDeleteIt's always so fun to visit and see all of your sweet china! I love all of the different rose patterns you have.
ReplyDeleteOh I just loved that three dish rack your husband made,Carolyn. I would have been so worried one of the plates would crack. He did a great job and it's SOOOOO pretty.

Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the snow shots!! I know your garden is just the pitcure perfect shot after a dusting of snow. Say, did you ever share/post that recipe for biscuits or scones??
If not, please do as all my southern recipes are some what yet to be desired if you know what I mean.

Dear Carolyn, I have just found your blog, and I love it! Serendipity...I have been trying for ages to find the name and maker of the plate pattern (with turquoise) on the bottom of your tiered stand...I have only seen it in a magazine once, and thought it was so pretty... even sent the photo to Replacements; they thought it looked similar to "Lady Ascot" by Royal Albert, but not quite...I would love it if you could tell me the name! Best, Anne
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely table. The tiered tray your husband made is amazing! I agree, he's a keeper. Thanks for sharing your beautiful table. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh - that 3 tiered tray! Finding the hardware would be the tough thing. That is lovely with the different plates. This post is really outstanding!
ReplyDeleteIt all looks delightful and very dreamy:) love the heart shaped biscuits yummy.....
ReplyDeleteYour tea cups are gorgeous....
Smiles~

Beautiful as always! Love the different china patterns and the beautiful rose! The iron angel is so precious! Beautiful photography!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely. It looks just as an afternoon tea should look...soft, romantic and beautiful. I can almost taste those biscuits with a bit of strawberry jam.
ReplyDeleteHello Carolyn
ReplyDeleteEverything looks lovely as usual and flaky biscuits again.
I'm wondering if February will have the same weather as January, such a mild winter this year.

A beautiful table for tea, Carolyn. Your angel is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDear Carolyn, I just enabled "follow-up" comments...I am so excited to see that you have some of that lovely china pattern, and don't want to miss your reply as to the name!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much ~ I apologize for being so eager!
Hi Anne,
ReplyDeleteI just left a comment on one of your blogs but I will answer here as well- the name of the plate you liked is Naples and it is made in England.
I hope this helps you in your search and thank you for visiting me!
Carolyn
Your tables are always so beautiful and gracious!!! The tiered tray is so pretty...what a clever husband you have! Tea and treats look delicious. Hope to see your snow pics! He haven't had much here in upstate NY either!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely table! Beautiful clicks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Hope to see you on my blog:)

Pretty pastels are perfect for an afternoon tea table. The chintz and thrifted cups and saucers are lovely to view and for drinking tea. The angel gives a serene feel to this setting! The tea party food is very dainty and delicious looking. We are having a very warm winter and wish for lots of rain. I will be watching and looking forward to your photos of snow! Happy Tablescaping! Pam
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful table ... Love your sweet angel in attendance and the lovely ruffled rose.
ReplyDeleteOlá,Carolyn! Amei a sua decoração. Principalmente o anjinho que está sobre a mesa, eu tenho um ajinho de resina que fica na parede da entrada de minha casa. O seu chá acompanhado com as rosas ficou um charme. Abraço,

Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteYou are so precious. I love spending time with you, the special teas and your spectacular garden. I wish I wasn't so far away! Taffy
Wow! Absolutely pretty with pastel. I am falling in love with it.
ReplyDeleteTY for the warm tea. That's what I need now to ease my flu.

Hi Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteI am just realizing that I missed a few of your posts - how could that happen?! Lol So, please forgive me as I am late with my comments. And, I don't imagine there is a crumb of biscuit left for me to taste. Poor me! Lol
Now, I have to ask this - Did you shape your tea biscuits with a heart cutter, or do they just 'know' to do this while baking in the oven for you?!!! Tee hee. I couldn't resist. I love my heart-shaped cutter and don't the heart shapes make 'em taste even better - if that's even possible? See ya. :-) Next time I won't be so late for tea!
Hugs,

Hello Carolyn, Your pictures always make me feel as if I am walking through a lovely, soft dream. I love the three tier stand your husband made for you! Definitely a keeper! Love the beautiful teacups and your iron angel. Dreamy. Thank you for sharing with Home and Garden Thursday,
