Tea Cake and Roses



                                                                  Hello everyone,
                               Today,I was working on an outdoor photo shoot as it was still mild but
                               when I came in I enjoyed a nice cup of hot tea.
                                       A slice of cake went well with it and the pretty chintz tea pot.
                                                        Tea,cake and roses.

                                        Help yourself ~ it is a bakery cake this time.

                                                     Lovely peachy pink roses.
                 We just got home from the rink where our little seven year old grandson
                            was playing hockey. It is amazing to see these little ones play ~ I think
                           they could already skate circles around me and I know for sure they
                           bounce back up faster then I would! All that cheering in a cold rink
                           though means it is time for another cup of hot tea. I wonder if there
                           is any of that cake left?
                              I am joining Rose Chintz Cottage for Tea Time Tuesday today
                              and Friends Sharing Tea at Bernideen's Tea Time Blog.

                                                                     Thank you for visiting,

                                                                                             Carolyn

Spring Blooms



                                                                Hello everyone,
                                    I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. Here we are getting some
                                    fresh white snow after a week of spring melting. I am happy to
                                    see gently falling snowflakes outside but indoors to be able to
                                   enjoy some spring blooms.        
                                              A hyacinth will soon be blooming in my pretty
                                              transferware teacup.
                                                          I have taken my some of my geraniums up from
                                                          the basement and cut them back but hoping for
                                                          blooms on some of them soon.
                                  In the winter I like to have some small bouquets in pretty vases.

                                                    Even the asparagus ferns add color.
                                                               A tiny campanula for spring color.

                                                             Roses always bring me pleasure.
                                      And I am delighted to have Vanco tulips grown right here on
                                      P.E.I.in the grocery stores again.
                                  Tulips and a Lady's Slipper teacup ~ perfect!      

                             Brenda from Cozy Little House has a new blog called Color my Decor and
                             I am honored to have  my blog featured on it .....pop in here and check it out!
                             Thank you Brenda ~ I am touched by your sweet words.
