We are enjoying some beautiful sunny summer days here so we love to eat out on our screened porch. Today, I am using my very old beautiful Florentine china. The roses from our garden are a mix of Golden Celebration and The Pilgrim.
Enjoy your day!
I am joining Between Naps on the Porch today for Tablescape Thursday.

I love my screen porch, too, but it has either been too hot or too rainy this summer to use it much for dining. The view to your garden is so lovely - I would never leave. Your china is beautiful and you set the table so beautifully. Love this!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Carolyn. Gorgeous quilt you are using as a table cover and I am with you love hats...summer or winter.
ReplyDeleteDelightful!

Hi Carolyn, what a lovely set of china! Even though I enjoyed your tea via cyberspace it was most enjoyable... I could even smell the lemons steeping in my tea cup! :D
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Hi Carolyn, how are you?
ReplyDeleteI loved all the pictures and this china set!
Sunny Summer Days are the best!

Gorgeous china and everything looks just beautiful. The lemonade is so refreshing looking. Can't wait for the Downton Abbey Tea--wish I could be there, but I'm miles away in Texas!
ReplyDeleteWhere do I begin Carolyn. This is truly captivating and engaging. Such a cozy spot to enjoy a great lunch. The vintage china is the perfect touch...
ReplyDeleteTruly lovely, the china is exquisite. Loved the quilt on your wonderful afternoon tea table. Oh how I would love to be there. Shirley N.Z.

ReplyDeleteWhat kind of tea did you make? The orange slices have me intrigued. Would you mind sharing the recipe, please?
ReplyDeleteCarolyn,
ReplyDeleteSuch a tranquil setting for a cup 'o tea on your lovely porch, dear one!
The china is exquisite!
Creamy ivory and the rose encased in the center is a pleasant surprise.
The roses from your Garden are so very elegant.
I could detect a hint of their sweet aroma.
Love the blending of hues from the two different varieties!
You husband did an excellent job of finding a complementary tea pot.
Thank you, also, for the cool sip of lemonade while I lingered a moment longer to take in the view beyond the porch.
Fondly,
Pat
Wow, its wonderful your porch. I love it and the view into the garden.
ReplyDeleteThere is no place better than that.
Relax and have a nice time.
Best regards Tina
Hey Carolyn! I visit your blog often to enjoy your gorgeous photos of some of my favourite things ... gardens, flowers, pretty china, teaparties ... and it's especially lovely to see your summer pics as it is winter here in Australia and I am such a summer gal. Love your table setting today ... I have two Florentine jugs that my bestest buddy gave me for my last birthday and they would blend right in with your pretties. We obviously share excellent taste! :0) Thanks for sharing. Bear Hugs! KRIS
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful shady spot to sit down and have lunch!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy new week Carolyn!

Olá,
ReplyDeleteQue belo almoço de verão. As porcelanas são lindas. Chegamos de volta das férias na sexta-feira. Estivemos em Mount Dora e almoçamos no Garden Gate Tea Room. Adorei o local, a hospitalidade e a beleza.
Uma boa semana.

I love it all, but my favorite part was that beautiful quilt used as a tablecloth.
ReplyDeleteEverything is lovely!!! That quilt on the table!!! Whau, it's gorgeous. I have been looking for something just like it in white and will keep looking till I find it :) Yellow roses are a dream!!
ReplyDeleteHave a marvelous week ahead.
