Teacups & Roses



                                                                   Hello everyone,
                                 It is a beautiful day here with a definite touch of fall in the air. I have lots of photos to                               share with you but I got a new computer and my photos have not been transferred yet
                            so I hope you will enjoy another cup of tea with me with some of our garden roses.
                              I love this teacup from Winners-it seems to speak of autumn to me.It is a Rose Cameo                                Peach by Royal Albert.
                        The roses are a David Austen English rose - Golden Celebration.
                                      Have an oatmeal scone with some of my peach preserves. This is one
                               of my favorite things-as good as a dessert and healthier.
                                                The tea set is Wild Rose by Skye Mc Ghie                      
                                                                   










   Hopefully, I get my computer all up and running soon and can share more with you soon. In the meantime I am looking forward to our annual 70 mile yard sale this Saturday - hoping for a nice day and some pretty treasures to take home.
    Thank you for your visit and welcome to my new followers.

Get Comfy & Cosy



                                                              Hello everyone,
                                With the cooler days of Autumn it is nice to take a relaxing afternoon tea
                               in the comfort of home.We have had some cooler days and evenings here,
                               but also some warm muggy days ~ typical for our Island September weather.
                               
                               So, on a cool day it was nice to have tea on the chaise in the bay window
                               looking out into the garden.
                                  A nice cup of tea and a good book makes for a lovely tea break don't you think?                                       When I was growing up I remember my Mom always freshened up in the middle of the                                  afternoon and sat down to enjoy a nice cup of tea and maybe a letter from                                                   home(Holland).
                               It was a habit that stayed with her and even now she still enjoys a little cup of tea.



                                         The sun popped out and warmed things up a bit!
        Hope you enjoyed a nice little break in your busy day!

  Today, I am joining Rose Chintz Cottage for Tea Time Tuesday.

                                                                Thank you for visiting,
