Mother’s Day Tea

On Saturday I attended a Mother’s Day tea at our son’s church. Our DIL hosted our table . Each hostess was in charge of setting her table.

This was the table our daughter-in-law prepared, with the bone china given to her by her Grandmother. The pattern is “First Love” by Royal  Albert.

There were so many beautifully set tables, but one of my favorites was this pink and white table

I am once again joining Sandi’s Tea time Tuesday. Thanks Sandi

Hello Millie,
I was thinking about you today! Wondering if you or any of your family is being affected by the flooding river. It's pretty bad from what I'm hearing on the Weather Network!
Your DIL did a fabulous job. The tea tables are lovely and I love the pink and white too. The American Beauty Rose pattern has long been a favourite of mine even though I don't own any of it.
Thank you for joining me for tea today. I hope you have a wonderful week.

Blessings,
Sandi

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
