Oh this perfect, amazing, awesome GLORIOUS weather!
Mid 70s - Sunny - Blue Skies - Puffy white clouds
Dry - Breezy - Cool nights in high 50s.
As my youngest daughter claims
(who moved back from years living in SoCal)
"It's perfect Cali weather!"
So please join me on this beautiful day
for a simple tea outdoors
with some yummy snacks.
Earl Grey......one of my fav inexpensive go-to daily teas.
Snacks leftover from a tea I hosted on Saturday - post to follow soon!
Beautiful hand painted vintage Nippon china in the PORTLAND pattern.
(I ♥ that ribbon band of lilac flowing through it!)
And of course we're enjoying this tea at one of my
favorite places to be: my "Zen Room."
I think most of you are getting used to it now.
(That green thing in the background is my DH's archery practice board. I forgot to move it.)
Thank you for visiting!

How lovely, Michele! I'm going to pretend those delicious looking snacks are gluten free and I'll join you! : ) The weather has been beautiful, hasn't it? I just hope it stays this way now!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful setting and your china is so lovely! So elegant for enjoying an afternoon tea. Love your pictures.

I think that is such a dreamy setting for a tea! Beautiful china as always, Michele. Wish I could join you!
ReplyDeleteA perfectly delightful setting for an afternoon tea outside enjoying this perfect weather. Earl Grey is a favorite of mine as well — a real pick-me-up in the late afternoon.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the perfect relaxing tea break! Glad you enjoyed your day!

Tea out of doors sounds lovely, Michele. I had Earl Grey too. Your teacups are very pretty and I love 'em stacked, as you know. The sweets look good too. Thanks for sharing with TTT and have a delightful week.

Zen Out! :D :D Lovely tea setting. The Portland Nippon china is stunning ... delicate design ... and the goodies ... making my mouth water!!! Hugs--
ReplyDeleteI love your Zen room! Your photos give a very relaxing feel to this beautiful post. I especially love the little birdie sitting in the middle of your tea tray. The Noritake "Portland" pattern is so sweet with the pink and blue hues. Please, set us a cup for a lovely Zen experience.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pam
Wish I was sharing some tea and those delicious looking treats with you, Michele! I never get tired of seeing your Zen room.
ReplyDeleteHello Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI think you and I are on the same wavelength! We both posted out door teas this week..... Yep, all about relaxation. A "Zen" room seems perfect to me! What a glorious week it has been too. Just like where you are, it is beautiful here. I hope to have quite a few more out door teas and book reading before it chills up.
Your hand painted tea cups are so lovely! What a delicate looking cup! Tea taste so good in delicate cups! And your little birdie is a sweet addition to your tea tray.
Hugs,
Terri
Absolutely lovely! I'm all for CA weather. ;-)
