Please join me for tea today in my garden.
We'll be all nestled under the shade of the trees
on floral padded chairs to keep us comfy.
We can sip and listen to the birds
and watch them bathe in their birdbaths.
~~~~~~*~~~~~
We shall watch butterflies
and the fluffy white clouds go by -
and just enjoy one another's company.
We'll nibble on brownie bites, caramel bars and
lemon blueberry bread.
The tea tastes great with fresh mint
from the garden.

I love how our embroidered table topper
mimics the magnolias on the china.
My eldest daughter and her husband
found this pretty china at an auction
for me last summer.
I am so excited to finally share it with you!
It is a big full service set with all sorts of plates
and small bowls and serving bowls and platters, etc.

Remember this pretty little rose spoon
my tea society friend Mary D
gave me for my birthday last year?
It looks rather perfect in a garden tea setting!

We haven't seen many blue skies lately, either!
What a blessed gift - what a lovely view

What a lovely tea and that darling bench. I saw those yesterday at the places that carry all those iron things and it is so sweet! Love tea time you have set up Michelle!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful setting and gorgeous china, Michele!
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh...just reading this lowered my blood pressure. What a beautiful new dish set!

Hi Michele,
ReplyDeleteI love your magnolia teacup and embossed teapot! You have created a wonderful spot for sipping tea. Happy Tea Day!
How absolutely serene! I adore your soothing white and green color palette! I often see pinks and purples in garden decor, but not so much the quiet colors here. LOVE!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty view, Michele! You have some gorgeous trees! Your Homer Laughlin china is so pretty and I love the magnolia tablecloth which goes perfectly! Darling tea spoon too. Thank you for sharing and coming to tea. Hope you have a beautiful day.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

I love it! I am nearly positive that I saw that very set in my favorite antique shop a year or so ago. I didn't buy it because I already have some magnolia plates. I kind of pouted because I love that one so much better than mine. It looks beautiful sitting out in the sunshine under the blue sky. We aren't seeing many of those lately either.
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice place for tea too Michele. I like the china and really had my eye on the iron green chair - nice! The sweets to have with tea are pretty tempting.
ReplyDeleteJudith

Love the magnolia cup. Neighbors have a huge old magnolia and I love the sweet heavy scent on humid summer evenings. What an inviting spot you have created.
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty! I'd love to join you in the shade and have tea! Your white tea setting is so refreshing and cool looking. Love your set of dishes and your desserts look so yummy!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous day to have a tea party.. the clouds, this summer, have been large, fluffy cotton balls of white which I don't remember in other years. So thank you for another opportunity to sit and reflect! You always make such a lovely table setting and this one is delightful! Thanks for the nibbles and chat.... xo
