Romantic Pink Tea Time

             Hello everyone,

                                                            I hope you had a romantic 

                                                                  Valentine's Day!

I had hoped to post this yesterday

but the day went by too quickly.

                                                        I gathered up some of my favorites

                                                         from previous years.

I had planned a Valentine's Day tea

here with friends but the weather

was calling for a stormy day

so I postponed for a week.

Some of you might remember this

pretty teapot that my husband

surprised me with on Valentine's

Day several years ago.

A Shelley teacup from my Aunt.

                                              I do love my pink vintage 

                                                  china.

                                                  Thank you for joining me for

                                                  my romantic pink tea today!

                                                             Take care,

                                                                  Carolyn

Random Bits

Hello again,

It is another beautiful sunny warm day

here and I am happy to say that my husband

 and I have finished our garden cleanup.

It is always a good feeling to get it done

before the cold weather sets in.

Anyway, I was looking through some

of my photos and saw these shots of our

kitchen at Ocean Song Cottage that we

did a bit of a makeover on in the last year

or so.....anew window,countertop,sink,and

some new to us cupboards

We are still doing little projects here at a more leisurely pace

while we enjoy our time here.

Yesterday, I found these pretty vintage dishes

at the thrift store

 

I love this pretty gift bag that came with some 

lovely tea treats......thanks Barbara!

I cut a small bouquet of hydrangeas from

one of my shrubs yesterday .They have

taken on their fall colors

I couldn't resist playing with my

pretty new china for awhile

I am not sure yet if I will use them

or display them on a wall

Well, it is so lovely out here I think I

will so for a sea glass hunt before the

season for my walks on the beach

comes to a close for another year

Thanks for your visit today .

Take care,

Carolyn

Sunday Afternoon Tea

Hello everyone,

We have been enjoying beautiful summer weather here

and so I am enjoying spending my days out doors as

much as possible.

So that means enjoying my afternoon tea out in the garden.

Here, we are having our  iced tea on the porch of our little

Boathouse by the pond.

Another lovely spot for tea in our August garden.

There is always so much color in the garden in late

summer.

Tea among the peonies is always a pleasure.

A most romantic little hideaway surrounded by roses.

The allee garden is always lovely so you

can enjoy your tea time among the lilacs,

roses,nepeta and hydrangeas.

Early in the season is appleblossom time for our tea time.

Grab a pretty vintage teacup and join me.

Some tea time treats.

                                                                         A shady nook in our garden to enjoy
                                                                         breakfast and linger with a cup of tea.

                                                                     Tea and scones with roses.

                                                           An all white Sunday afternoon tea in
                                                                      the garden is so elegant.
                                                                      So go ahead and pick your favorite spot
                                                                      for a relaxing Sunday afternoon tea!

                                                                       by the beauty of nature!

Summer Tea on the Porch

Hello everyone,

I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

It has been lovely here and so it is nice 

 to have tea on the porch where I have my

summer wicker and vintage linens.

Vintage china and pretty bouquets of peonies.

I used a mix of pink and green for my summer tea today.

My peonies are past now so these are the last of my bouquets.

                                          I have been enjoying taking lots of summer photos so all I need is                                                    more time to share them. Summer is going by so quickly don't you think
                                                        We had a good turnout for our garden tour and it was a beautiful
                                                   day for it. Thank you to all who came and for all your kind words.

                                                                                 Thank you for popping in today.

                                                                                                     Carolyn
