Tea Time Tuesday, August 25, 2014


I baked a few lemon cupcakes, glazed with lemon. They are very delicate, and the tops are flat, but they are so tasty!
 I picked some green flowers from my garden today--Limelight hydrangea, Envy zinnias, lime coleus,and pale green lysianthus.
I do love the lysianthus! They also come in shades of pink, white and lavender.

The cups and saucers are Gold Chantilly by Royal Worchester and the little green plates are Carltonware, made in Australia.
My teapot today is one of several of this type I purchased at Home Sense.

Millie, your bouquet is simply gorgeous. I love the soft green and white. That teapot is sweet too; love the shape and white is always right! I would enjoy sitting at your pretty table and having a lemon cupcake and a cup of tea with you. It would be lovely. Thank you for joining me for tea and have a beautiful day, my friend.

Blessings,
Sandi

Very pretty tea table! The bouquet is terrific--but then I love anything with hydrangeas :). Your china is very pretty and your lemon cupcakes sound delish! Thanks for visiting my blog, and I hope you have a great week!

I love your bouquet of flowers. So pretty. And so is the teapot. The lemon cupcakes look delicious. I like lemon as much as I like chocolate!
Thank you for visiting me the other day, I'm glad to meet you!

Victoria…and Me

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
