In celebrating Springtime and St. Patrick's day
I went to the garden for tea.
The green is beginning to pop all around me
and I am loving the colors it brings.
For tea time there was my favorite Yunnan Gold tea
served with a current scone with a touch of nutmeg,
and shamrock cucumber sandwiches.
The cozy is a Marmalady's cozy made from vintage fabric
found at the antique mall.

Happy Spring Time and St. Patrick's Day,
all in the coming days.
I am stepping away for a few days,
but look for me here again on Monday.
Happy Weekend, dear friends!

You shouldnt be wearing o'the green -- you should be wearing the great big birthday hat -- the kind they put on you at Mexican restaurants and you are glad it is so big so everyone else doesn't see your faces as they clap and sing!
I wonder what kind of hat they put on birthday girls at a tea shop? Vintage Lady Violet or perhaps like something from Meet Me in St. Louis? Or maybe something a little smaller but equally charming!
No matter what you are wearing today, I hope you tea is as lovely as this and your birthday even more so!
Your tray makes a sight, which looks to pretty to eat/drink!
Shamrock cucumber sandwiches... Aren't they darling... :-)
Imagine having green coming out, for the St. Patrick's Day weekend. Enjoy!!!!!
The shamrock cucumber sandwiches look good, Marilyn. What a great idea. I really like scones, as my friend made them for me one day with tea. She drizzled a little icing on top, and so Yummy. I think they have less sugar than cookies too. Your tea cup and saucer is gorgeous. What a nice day out in the garden to have tea.
Lovin' all the green on here today. : )

Your tray is just so inviting especially in the garden( Sigh) ... Hopefully, we will have spring, soon, and join into the garden party for now I’m enjoying the lovely inspiration...Hugs
What a lovely outdoor tea time. It's still chilly here so I have to live vicariously through you!
Dear Marilyn:
What a lovely garden time tea. Your vintage fabric is lovely on your tea cozy and looks so pretty on the tray! Thanks for sharing.
