Romantic Tea Time





      Hello everyone,

       It is time for a romantic afternoon
              tea and since it is close to Valentine's
          Day ,I am using my favorite teapot
   and heart shaped plate that my
         husband surprised me with a few 
years ago.


The teacup is a pretty
     good match for the plate
and teapot.


Pearls and teapot


Love my tulip bouquets
especially in winter.


Soft and pretty






Romantic tea



I am off for a walk in the fresh
air with my sweetie, so I
will linger over a hot cup of
tea when we return.

Thank you for visiting!

Garden Enchantment




      Happy Weekend!

       I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

       Even though it is cold here today I am
   starting to dream about the return of
      our garden. In our Zone 5b climate it
             will be April before we can get out there
          but time passes quickly and before we
           know it there will be signs of life again.


So, I have been enjoying looking back
at some of my favorite shots from
previous years.

Ah, Spring time with lots
of color as the daffodils,
tulips etc. bloom.


             Peonies, lilacs and lupins
                 make a pretty combination




                                                                  Tea time among the roses.....so enchanting!



   
                                                    I enjoy having lots of places to sit and enjoy the garden.




                                                     Arbors add so much charm in
                                                      the garden.




      I love garden rooms so fences and arbors
add a sense of enclosure.


    Early August is so colorful!


      Another garden room

   




Deutizas in bloom as well as lilacs
in the background.



    
When you are tired of gardening it
is good to have a place to relax and
enjoy the view.



                                                                      Lilacs add not only color but
                                                                      an amazing fragrance to the garden.
                                                  It is always fun to dream a little
                                                             of the enchantment of the garden
                                                             even in the middle of winter......
                                                             don't you think?


                                                                          Thank you for visiting!
