Hello everyone,
I hope your summer is going well......I can't believe how
fast it is going.
A few weeks ago I hosted a Victorian Garden Tea for the
Mikinduri Children of Hope. It was a lovely day and I met lots
of nice people, both guests and volunteers in the kitchen.
We set up our tables on the porches and the terrace and had
a morning and afternoon seating.
pictures but this table caught my eye.
We served tea and scones with devonshire
cream and apricot or rhurbarb preserves.
I always enjoy using my collection of
teapots and vintage teacups etc.
Small bouquets of flowers were on
each table. The deep pink rose is
Queen of Denmark and the pale
pink is a Snow Pavement rose.
I used lace tablecloths on the tables to
came.
I am happy to have been a part of this
worthy cause and happy as well that we raised
over $1500 for the Mikinduri Children of Hope.
Our heat wave is over and some much
needed rain is on the way today.
I will leave you with a pot of
tea to enjoy.
Thank you for visiting!
Carolyn

A very lovely tea for a good cause. The tables are so beautifully set up. We are having a very dry summer here in Gaspe. It's raining today and that's a good thing. Take care..Thelma.
The Garden looks just beautiful. I can imagine sitting at one of your tables, and strolling through the gardens would be a real treat! And all for a good cause makes it even better!
Beautiful tea and worthy cause. I love the roses, and the preserves look delicious. We are fighting a massive forest fire in our city in Northern California, and the heat and smoke are awful. I would love to visit PEI and be refreshed and renewed.
Joyously,
Betty
Your tea party looks wonderful. How I would have loved sitting in your garden too. Thank you for not have ads in the middle of a post. I stopped reading your blog for awhile because I didn't like it interrupting the beauty.
I love the tables, they are so beautiful! What a lovely tea!
Dear Carolyn:
I am sure you are resting now knowing all that is behind you and it sure was a lovely tea. The tables look so pretty and the views delightful!
It was all so lovingly set up.. and those desserts look beyond good! Everything beautiful as always and love your collage of photos. Oh how I wish someone around here had outdoor tea parties in their gardens like you do! Hugs.. Marilyn
