Hello everyone,
Hope your weekend is going well. I took a little time out for a lovely summer afternoon tea before our tour from Japan arrived . I did some rearranging on our screened porch this weekend and finished a couple of projects(more on that later).
Anyway, I thought this was a pretty good spot for my tea today.
I picked these Eden roses for a small bouquet and put them in my old vintage vase.
I also picked a mixed bouquet of roses from our garden and picked one of my favorite teapots.
A cosy little spot to sit.
Thank you for your visit!
Carolyn
Just beautiful! I love your use of quilts!
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteYour tea with roses is just lovely! I favour that teapot too. My son had dropped by this evening and I was showing him pictures of your duck pond {which he helped survey}. He was quite impressed with how beautifully it turned out! Hope your week is off to a wonderful start!
Blessings,
Sandi
How beautiful, Carolyn!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your feature in Romantic Country Magazines. I have a subscription to Romantic Country and I was overjoyed to see your home featured. I wish you success on your fundraiser for your darling and precious grandson. My sister and I so wish that we were closer so that we could tour your lovely home too! My goodness - you look so elegant in that lacy gown! Thank you so very much for sharing! Take care and I hope that you have a wonderful week! Karen
It all looked totally delightful, Carolyn. Wish I had been among your Japanese guests! Susan
ReplyDeleteThe tea you have set looks so lovely and the people look like they had a great time.
ReplyDeleteHello Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Your teapot,
but all things, the pillows, the roses and so on are things for a
cozy afternoon. I like it.

Lovely tea, thoughtful gift and congrats on the selling out of your DA tea- no surprise.
ReplyDeleteWhat lucky peeps to be able to attend that. I shall live vicariously through you all - and your blog when you share it - and pretend I too could be there for it. : - )
Have a wonderful week.
Lovely romantic tea with beautiful quilts. I am looking forward to your Downtown Abbey tea on your blog.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful spot to enjoy a cup of tea, Carolyn. There is such softness in the white wicker and pink setting, as well as a certain dream-like quality.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your upcoming tea will be a remarkable success. Enjoy.

Querida Carolyn, estou encantada com as rosas lindas e suave, com o chá, xícara e bule lindos de viver, a cadeira com almofadas um encanto, eu gostei muito da toalha da mesa. Tudo belo demais, parabéns pelo ótimo gosto.
