Autumn Tea–Sept 30, 2013

It’s a lovely day today, so the deck would be an ideal spot to have a cup of tea and a cookie.
A lap quilt makes a nice table covering.

I found these autumn plates at Home Goods last week.

Hi Millie,
Your plates are really pretty and I love your apple teapot. Very cute! Looks like you have had a beautiful day like we had here today. I think we are getting our Indian Summer now. The past few days have been so lovely and warm. Wish we could have a few more months of it! Thank you for coming to tea and have a beautiful week.

Blessings,
Sandi

Your autumn plates are so pretty. Having a tea party outdoors to celebrate the waning sunshine and warmth is a great idea. Love that apple topped dish, too.

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
