Maple Grove Tea Room

It was a gorgeous Sunday afternoon, so we took a drive out along the Red River, to a historic house, now home to a nice little tea room. The view of the river was outstanding, the desserts were “scrummy”, and the conversation was pleasant. 008-4-1 The home  was built in 1866 by Captain William Kennedy an explorer, entrepreneur and trader. Three rooms are a provincial historic museum.

I'm amazed that the house was built in 1866! When I think of the buildings in my Ontario community, I can't recall anything that NICE that is that old. I'm impressed. I'm glad it's being preserved as a museum.

I think I know where that tea house is! I have driven by it many times and wondered about it. I have a friend who would LOVE it. I shall have to take her there. Thanks for the idea!

Victoria…and Me

Image
To see larger photos, click to enlarge.. The May-June 2009 Victoria magazine is one of my favorites, featuring blue and white... one of the open pages with an article on linens...it just happens that I have one of the patterns... There is also a feature on blue and white Wedgewood ... I have photographed some of my pieces alongside the article... ....here is my interpretation of blue and white... As a nod to the current issue of Victoria, which features some tea tables in green, I have  set out my own little tea table, with some scones... ...or perhaps you'd like to help yourself to a chocolate-cherry morsel? On this spring day, I am joining in with : Celebrate Spring http://blissfulrhythm.blogspot.com/ Mary's Mosaic Monday, on whose blog you will see some lovely snowdrops: http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/mosaic-monday-snowdrops.html Also,   Sandi is having a special tea party today, so be sure to go over there and enjoy her lovely blog
