and I also was invited to a lovely afternoon
tea.

photos then my shots of the book ~ via pinterest.
Now, if only we lived closer I am
sure we would enjoy many tea times together!
Thank you so much Helen for this most
beautiful gift~ I will treasure it always!
she shares more beautiful photos from her
home and garden. You can even order a
copy of this beautiful book from her if
you like.
Now a couple of shots of my very enjoyable
afternoon tea with a new friend who has
an amazing collection of beautiful china and quilts
and all things lovely!
Reminds me of a Downton Abbey tea time.
I felt very pampered! Thank you so much for
a lovely tea and visit !
Hope you have a great day!
