And finally getting out best Afternoon Tea

Before, I start in on that though we have
been busy getting the garden ready to
host our special Southern Gardener's
coming with Allan Armitage ~ a well
known professor of horticulture at the
University of Georgia, U.S. where he
teaches,conducts research and runs the
University of Georgia Horticulture Gardens.
He is also the author of several books.
They are coming to our garden on Friday
morning and touring several other gardens
as well.
Also, since the garden will be all tidy and
looking it's best, we are having an open
garden on Saturday evening 6 ~ 8 pm.
rain or shine for anyone interested.
I am joining Bernideen's Tea Time Blog

Thank you for visiting,

It is all so exciting, if only I could help you, Carolyn.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be gorgeous.
I wish you were having our perfect weather - 70s, blue skies, perfect.

Exciting news Carolyn, I'm so happy for you, company is the best time to force you into the garden and keep weeding. I should invite someone to my garden so I get the opportunity to get into it. Things have been so busy around here that my garden has been neglected, poor thing, just yesterday I noticed a weed that is 2 feet tall (ashamed) oh well. All your pretty things are going to be lovely in your garden tea, enjoy.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, the dishes. I think my all time favorite must be those with the wide PINK BORDER. My intention is to find a few of those...all I would really need is maybe 4 place settings. That would be enough.
ReplyDeleteTHAT'S WHAT I ALWAYS SAY-
I'd love to have tea in your beautiful Garden, Carolyn!
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful Carolyn. I am sure your guests will be delighted. I only wish I could be there to enjoy all the beauty and fun.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos as always. They truly brighten my day.
Have a wonderful week.

My mother is turning 75 this year and her dream has always been to have a Victorian style tea party, I want to surprise her and in googling ideas I came across your site, do you cater to parties?
ReplyDeleteHi Unknown,
ReplyDeleteI am sorry but I am not catering to parties.I only occasionally decide to have a garden tea party for a fundraiser for a good cause.
Hope your Mom has a wonderful birthday!
Carolyn
