Linens & Lace Garden Party Tea



                                                                           Happy Weekend!

                                               As many of you know I hosted a Linens & Lace
                                                Garden Party Tea in early August and it was a
                                               lovely day so I thought you might like to see
                                              some of the photos.

                                                                        We had a morning and an afternoon
                                                                         seating on the screened porch.
                                                                         The theme was Linens and Lace
                                                                         so I enjoyed using some of my
                                                                        prettiest linens and lace.

                                                                        Bouquets were picked from the garden.

                                                              My friend Janice giving a once over.
                             
                                                                        Blue and white china and linens.

                                                                               
 My grand niece Hailey was my
enthusiastic greeter for the day
and she enjoyed every minute!
I was honored to have four
guests come from out of province
and Cynthia is a fellow blogger.
You can check out her post on
the tea here......I enjoyed
seeing the garden etc. through
someone else's eyes.
Thank you Cynthia for allowing
           me to use this photo and for the great post.

                                                                   I love having these lovely tea
                                                                   friends come every year.
                                                           Since linens and lace was the theme
                                                            we dressed for it.
                                   

                                                         

                                                                        Checking out the garden.

                                                                      More lovely tea friends.

     Enjoying a chat after tea.




                                                                     



Thank you Janice and Heather for your help
and thank you all who attended my
Linens and Lace Tea.

I am joining Rose Chintz Cottage
for Tea Time Tuesday.

Hope you enjoy your weekend!

So lovely! I wish we had such things here. Or that I could fly over to attend one of your beautiful events.

Gorgeous! So glad you had nice weather for it. Love how you dressed the part which adds to the total ambience. Your gardens make the perfect backdrop to the tea party...or is it the other way around? :) I'm off to check out Cynthia's post now.

Glorious Day, Carolyn!
Everyone looks so lovely. I adore the hats. Oh, that hat with the big bow! LOVE! I wish I could have joined you. You three girls in white would make a gorgeous painting...Hint, hint, artist friend! Haha I'm sure your visitors were greatly charmed by your sweet Hailey. I can feel her sweet enthusiasm through your post! When I arrange for volunteers for Pink Days In Bloom's "The Little Christmas Fair" every year, I think the young volunteers have the best time greeting people at the door and handing out the programs! Lol They make it such fun and just bring so much joyful energy. One of these days, Midge and I will get to see you and Andrew again. Something to look forward to...Hugs to all. BTW, I popped by to say, "Hi" to Cynthia. I really enJOYed see her pics, too! XO
Wishing you a peaceful Sunday,

Thank you for sharing your beautiful Garden Tea Party with us at Tea Time. We have been having quite the summer, haven't we? Who knew we would be getting this hot humid weather so late in August? Kind of makes up for the cool start. Enjoy this lovely day!

Blessings,

What an amazing garden Carolyn. I would be just fine sitting outdoors admiring all the gorgeous flowers.

Your home is simply magnificent. It is a dream of a place. You have filled your home with everything that speaks to your heart. It is a little piece of heaven sweet Carolyn.

Your tea party is truly everything that romance and loveliness should be.
