Another September Tea in the Garden

Hello Dear Friends,

 

Welcome to:

"Another September Tea in the Garden"!

 

I really did not think that it would be possible to post an outdoor tea in the garden this week. 

 

 

I was overjoyed to find the sun shining brightly today and thought that I simply must post one more Tea in the Garden before the rain sets in once again.

 

Today I am at the cottage.  I wanted to water, plant my hydrangeas and cut the grass.  But what a wonderful diversion to have a tea in the garden once again.

 

Today I am setting our table and chairs in front of the favourite tree. 

 

I am using a tea cup that reminds me of a garden party. The lady is wearing a long gown and bonnet and appears to be gathering flowers from her garden. 

 

 

 

The cream and sugar are so very similar to the tea cup.

 

 

 

 

 I believe my great Aunt Nora cross-stitched the tablecloth.  The stitches are lovely colours of turquoise and gray.  I would love to ask my mother the details of the cloth but unfortunately she has Alzheimers and wouldn't remember.  Perhaps my older sister could confirm my belief.

 

 

 

The teapot was my sweet mother's.

 

 

 

 

 

I love the gold roses on the top.

 

 

The turquoise tea plate was also my mom's.

 

 

Do you see the raised embossed dotted trim with the border of pink roses amongst the gold gilt?  There are no markings on the back of the tea plate.

 

 

This could possibly be the end of my pink roses from the cottage garden until next summer.

 

 

 

 

But perhaps if we have a sunny September it may be possible for me to be surprised and delighted by a few more!

 

 

I am always pleased when you join me for Tea in the Garden.

 

Thank you for coming!

 

Karen
