It was a mild but very rainy afternoon here today so it was a perfect time to curl up with a book and a cup of tea.
Well, we have a blizzard warning for tomorrow so I may be house bound and have some time to finish reading The Secret Garden although I do have a few projects I need to finish up ~we shall see!A rainy February Sunday Afternoon Tea with a good book is good for the soul don't you think? Now, where did I put those crumpets???
I am joining Rose Chintz Cottage for Tea Time Tuesday.
Thank you for visiting,
Carolyn
Darling teapot! Years ago when I was a young woman,I saw that teapot in an antique's mall.I didn't have the money at the time but when I came back a few weeks later it was gone.It has been about 35 years ago,but it's one of those things that you never forget.That sure doesn't happen to Me any more.If I see something I love that much I try My hardest to buy it right then.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful setting for tea, specially in that adorable tea pot and tea cup! It's raining here to and I have been curled up in the den watching a movie and posting my new finds. I don't mind rain, if it's spent as lovely as you did! Have a great week.

Enjoy your tea. Looks like the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
ReplyDeleteHello, Carolyn
ReplyDeleteI'm very fond of that particular book. "The Little Princess", by the same author, is also a heartwarming read.
Your tea things are charming.

Dear Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I spent our Sunday afternoon watching your PEI's beloved Anne of Green Gables. We visited your beautiful island with our 4 children and our dog several years ago. I was thrilled with your pictures of the Anne of Green Gables Village. We were there days before it opened for the season and the most wonderful man who is a native of your lovely island and quite a character allowed our family to visit the village privately since it wasn't open yet.. What a memory. I live in a Victorian Iowa Farmhouse and love Victorian and teas. Your pictures have been truly inspiring.
Your Iowa Fan,
Nancy
Sounds wonderful. I'd love to be cool at the moment,it's so hot here.
ReplyDeleteI love English cottages and your pot and teacup are just so lovely. I really love the vignettes too. One of my favourite stories. x

ReplyDeleteDear Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely cup and pot. Happy Reading!

Beautiful vignette. I adore busts. I have Anne of Greene Gables in the same set as your Secret Garden.
ReplyDeleteDear Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteI hope the blizzard wasn't too bad! The secret garden is a lovely book. Like you I enjoyed the film too. I used to watch it with my daughters. It was one of their favourites.
Wishing you a happy new week!

ReplyDeleteA charming teapot and teacup this week. The Secret Garden is definitely one of those 'feel good' books, and I liked the movie too.

Hi Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteI love your charming English tea. I haven't read The Secret Garden in years. I must try and get a copy since I am house bound these days. Sounds like we're getting more nasty weather again tomorrow. Cannot wait for springtime! Thanks for coming to tea and enjoy your day.
Blessings,
Sandi
A very English looking tea, me thinks! Beautiful photos, Carolyn.

How fun this all is! It does have an English mood to it. The browns and neutrals do remind one of thatched roofed cottages and the natural wood in an old, old home.
ReplyDeleteand, I'm tellin' ya, Carolyn.... great minds.... ;)
Last spring I read the Secret Garden again. It was very refreshing! =] and, thank you for reminding me! Every spring, we also watch it and, two years ago, the tape broke! Last year, I was more than a little disappointed to remember it a bit too late. Have to order a CD, this time! =]
and, you have seriously inspired me - gotta go!!! =D

Tea to the English is really a picnic indoors.

Speaking of English Breakfast, I recently did an extensive review of Heavenly Tea Leaves Organic English Breakfast tea. I included a lot of pictures, the pros and cons, and whether or not I'd buy it again. I also did a fun science project for children involving light refraction. I sincerely hope it is helpful to you! http://www.americanmomreview.com/2013/08/heavenly-tea-leaves-organic-english.html
