Hello everyone!
On this beautiful sunny summer day I would love to have you join me for a Victorian Garden Tea.
I took out my old victorian wicker chairs and looked around the 'garden' for a pretty cool spot to enjoy a cup of tea.
As luck would have it we have a pretty big patch of fireweed growing on our property and I think it makes a perfect background for our tea today.
We have some good books to enjoy and a pretty teapot for our tea.
A bouquet of garden flowers adds some charm to our pretty little tea table.
. It's amazing how pretty even wild flowers are.
The bees are loving this fireweed too.
So, dig out your hat and gloves and join me for a Victorian Tea on this beautiful summer day.
I am joining Tea Time Tuesday at
Rose Chintz Cottage today.
Thank you for your visit!
Carolyn

You've made so many beautiful posts lately and I have had a great time looking them through now. Your garden is just gorgeous and I realize what a hard job you must have had making it look that way. I sure aren't making any progress it seems, lol.
ReplyDeleteHope you'll have a great Wednesday.
Love Elzie

Hi Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely spot for your tea. I never knew those flowers were called fireweed. My hubby has called them snake flowers his whole life! LOL! That's a terrific shot of the bee! Thank you for coming to tea today and enjoy the rest of the evening. Rain tomorrow?
Blessings,
Sandi
What a beautiful tea! Your property is so so beautiful and your wild flowers do better at your place than anywhere I've seen! You are so blessed with all your beauty, but I know hard work comes with it too! Wish I could join you for this tea. I do have quite a few hats to choose from!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.

You chose a lovely spot for tea today. I remember the fireweed from PEI and wish it would grow freely here, but then I'd wish for lupines like you have too.

Hi Carolyn! Oh, how I wish I could join you for tea in your lovely garden! This spot is so pretty and those are wild flowers? Love your beautiful chairs and table and how you've set up for tea! As always your snaps are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm having a great summer, just very very hot here! ;)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Olá Carolyn, que chá maravilhoso você preparou. O local escolhido é perfeito.

Adorei.
Uma boa semana.

Simply beautiful!! Gardens like yours are something I wish to have down thee road in the future - you give me inspiration to shoot for! I would love to sit there in your wicker chair - only I am a coffee girl. That first photo takes my breath away - amazing depth of field.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Carolyn - your photos always leave me speechless. They're always so incredibly beautiful - just like something out of Victoria magazine. :)

What a lovely post! The old wicker chairs are wonderful against the green and pinky purple of the fireweed. It would be delightful to join you for tea. Pamela
ReplyDeleteI love your garden!

What a beautiful table setting-- the fire weed matches perfectly. I love those wicker chairs-- especially the larger one with the arms.
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty picture. Your Victorian wicker chairs are beautiful with their many details. I also love the hammock I saw in the last post. Fits in perfectly in your lovely garden. I am so jealous of your summer. We have had a very cold summer, mostly rainy, with only a few days of warmth. I hope August will shine on us :)
Have a nice day,
Sanna
