Our weather has been so gorgeous, rain at night, hot during the day, today was beautiful, no
humidity, got a lot of gardening done, still a lot to do. My roses are just blooming again, but don't want to pick them yet, so using my silk ones in the end of day glass vase/pitcher. The top table cloth is a new one from ebay. It is massive roses.
oops I changed a cup n' saucer, it's a new one
I got a couple of weeks ago at the auction. Didn't have roses on
it and wanted to go with the rose theme. Will show it again.
The cup n saucer is American Beauty by Royal Albert
this is my mother-in-laws china, she had enought pieces to leave a complete set to both her daughters. Very pretty,
we have sold a variation to it at one time
I love this tea cup, been waiting to use it (I love them all, got rid of everything I didn't like) and in honour of Anne of Green Gables. Sandi used green and this has the roses too.
It is by Royal Albert - Garden Party Series "Spring Song"
The teapot is an auction goodie I bought two weeks ago.
New napkins that I got off ebay
this is another napkin set, it's been around for years.
a tatted doilie that was under the vase of flowers
I forgot to show my umbrella yesterday, then I took a picture of it open and having trouble downloading... must be because I'm inside and it's bad luck to open an umbrella inside...joke
been hungry, didn't have a thing to eat. No fruit, no goodies but I do have grandsons. Hard to keep food in the house when they visit. Lucky for me they don't like tea.
I will be joining tea in the garden
I really enjoyed your post! I love the tea cups and pot! You mentioned everything about it apart from the lovely heavy cloth under. Have I somehow missed what it is? It looks lovely! I liked the Royal Albert china. I love roses on tea cups. Have a good day. Joan

What a love post - do come link up to Tea In The Garden. Those napkins are wonderful and the special touch of a hat on the chair!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tea in the garden with roses you have shared.
ReplyDeleteI love your new china treasures!
Thank you so much for sharing.
I enjoyed your tea so much. You have so many beautiful things. Your tea table is so lovely with your new pink tablecloth and darling teacups. I have a tablecloth in the same pattern as your napkins. A friend made it for me. I've seen the material at Hobby Lobby and now think I need to make me some napkins to match! Have a great weekend.
