Hello everyone,
We have some lovely sunshine here today so it is a lovely day to enjoy a little afternoon respite with a cup of tea and a good book.
I love this teapot that I got a few weeks ago .
I love this vintage dress that looks like hand crochet .It even fits perfectly so some summer afternoon I think I should host a Victorian Tea and ask all the ladies to wear something victorian.
A brown transferware teacup.
Some heart shaped sugar cookies-just a light snack with tea.
A better look at the vintage dress-perfect for a romantic afternoon tea-don't you think!
I love this pitcher with the creamy roses.
Now,I have a good book for you to read. It is written by an amazing Canadian Christian author and I highly recommend it.
I am joining Tea Time at Rose Chintz Cottage this afternoon.
Thank you for stopping in to visit me!
Carolyn

The dress is so pretty - an afternoon spent with a good book and, in my case, a cup of hot chocolate sounds perfet.

Beautiful, Carolyn. I love your transferware. I bought that book for my daughter for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHello Carolyn, I just found a lace victorian dress at a antique mall in Florida while vacationing, so now I have a dress for your tea! If only we didn't live so far apart! Love your new teapot. I would love to collect the brown transferware. It would go so well in my log home. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Carolyn. I love the brown and white theme for your tea. The teapot is sweet and very different in shape. What a pretty dress you've found too. Enjoy the rest of the week. Blessings, Pamela
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn, What a lovely post. I love the dreamy dress and I know the tea will be wonderful in the elegant tea pot and cup. And what perfect dainty little heart cookies to go with my tea. Oh my I want to stay awhile and enjoy the romance of your lovely home.

Hi Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip about the book. I'm going to see if I can track it down here. (BTW, how did the little ones like the Dutch fairytale I sent?) Thanks, too, for the link to yesterday's post. Dandy teapot and dress, m'dear. You've got a nose for the best finds ever! Can I come shopping with you, please! Hope you and Andrew are enjoying a lovely evening.
Hugs,
Linda at Beautiful Ideas
