Tea & Romantic Country


                                                                     
                                                                      Finally, there is a hint of spring
                                                                      in the air here with the promise
                                                                      of milder weather in a few days.

                                                                     Now, it is time for a cup of tea.
                                                             I love these soft shades of mauve
                                                             and white.
                                                               Some of you may remember this
                                                               antique teapot that I got on a trip
                                                               to Maine last year.The teacup was a thrift
                                                               find.




A bouquet of hyacinths add
the perfect touch to this old pitcher.

                                                                   
                                                                    Last week when we were in Charleston
                                                                    area it was a thrill for me to pick up a copy
                                                                    of Romantic Country with our summer
                                                                    porch on the front cover!
                                                                       
                                                               Inside are several of my photos as well.

                                                                  Some of my Downton Abbey Tea photos
                                                                  are also in it along with a couple of
                                                                  recipes.

                                                     I saw the magazines here locally at Indigo if you
                      would like to check it out.


                                              Have any of you seen the movie Cinderella?
                                                        I am going to see it shortly......I heard good things
                                                        about it.
                                                     
                                                       I am joining Bernideen's Tea Time Blog for
                                                       Tea with Friends and Rose Chintz Cottage
                                                       for Tea Time Tuesday.

                                                                      Thank you for visiting,

                                                                                     Carolyn

Congratulations, Carolyn! It must have been a thrill to see the magazine when you're so far from home.
I would love to see Cinderella. Unfortunately I can't sit that long in a theater. I'll wait till it comes out on DVD. I'm sure you will enjoy it. I've heard good things about it too. Enjoy your week.

Blessings,
Sandi

Wow! Carolyn ...How great is that ....

I must try and get this issue of the magazine and I will treasure it forever

Your front porch has been my favorite for ages so I am not surprised it's on the front of the page

You must feel over the moon

Well done you deserve it
