Springtime in the Garden

 Springtime in the garden beckons me to have tea.
 
 Won't you join me there.
The daffodils are blooming.
 We can sit and savor each sip as we giggle and share stories
of life in a simpler time.
My grandfather's Haviland china is the guest of honor on this table.
Violets and daisies decorate each plate and cup.
The softness of pink tulips, my heart rejoices!
 Pastel colors and blossoms just sing to my heart of Springtime.
Sponge cakes with lemon curd fit perfectly into the delights of the day.
English Breakfast tea sits in our cups
and we sip with JOY.
Happy Springtime, dear friends!
Find time to savor each day with JOY.

    This is such a beautiful post-- the photos, the sentiments and the tea table. Simply beautiful. I so wish my friends like tea time as much as I do. It would be lovely to just sit, relax and share on this delightful ritual. Thank you for sharing these beauties.

    Love the pink teapot. :-)

    And all the spring colors...

    Cold and rainy and dark here. Hard to maintain a spring time mood.

    But glad you have flowers.

    It is cool and snowing/raining here so your tea table is like a burst of sunshine! Love the soft colours and what a lovely setting too. Have a beautiful day.

    Hi Angie ... Sorry if this repeats... I pressed the wrong button .. but I did want you to know how lovely your posting is today ... I would love to join you in a cup of tea and sponge cake especially on those beautiful dishes ..i can imagine that they are very fine china as I know the china name...Your grandfather had excellent taste ( ha ha) ... and the teapot is so beautiful ...I am partial to pink but the shape is so special... and ... The thought of enjoying teatime outside gives me hope , since we just got another snowfall last night ... .. but your beautiful flowers reminded me that it ... sometimes God does have a sense of humour and he’s just testing our patience ( ha ha) .. We’re so ready for SPRING ... Thank You for such an uplifting post... Hugs

    How beautiful your setting is - a garden tea with beautiful china, and the excuse to do nothing but drink tea and visit sounds perfect. It's going to be awhile before it's warm enough here to drink tea outdoors!

    Your Springtime table is so lovely, Marilyn. And that Pink tea pot is sooooo pretty. The daisies and Pink flowers are also sweet. I'm really into Pink right now, as I have a new Grandbaby girl and another on the way. : )

    There is a light dusting of snow outside so your lovely springtime garden tea is just what I needed to see this morning! I'll have to live vicariously through you until our weather warms up!
