Tea Times at Home


With the pandemic the best place to have teatimes is right here in my home or in the garden.
On a particularly sunny day about a week ago there was teatime in the garden.
Just tea and a scone, a cream tea time was enjoyed.
How I love being surrounded by flowers and green everywhere.
It's the perfect ambiance for sipping tea.
The roses and calla lilies made such a pretty bouquet for the table.
I decided there would be no matching on the table this day.
You see I chose each cup and the plate in different colors.
The teapot is one I fell in love with some years ago at a tea shop in Texas.
Though you can only see a glimpse of a book, it was vintage book on
Pacific Northwest wild flowers.
I was reading and learning a bit about flowers on the trail.
Tea time in the garden is the very best.

Then there was another teatime with a guest.
When the food was placed on the table he couldn't wait to partake.
Again this Texas teapot made an appearance.
On this day we had fruit, sausage rolls, egg salad sandwiches, and a piece of chocolate
with peppermint tea.
There may not be adventures to tearooms right now,
but still there is time for tea.

Time for tea -- and it looks like you have a far lovelier venue than most tea rooms! And it appears the menu is going over very well indeed! And fine and handsome tea companion, too!

Tea out is fun but teatime at home is always the very best - especially when the lady of the house makes such awesome treats!

Oh how I wish my mum was still here to bake her fabulous Victoria spongecake, jam tarts and such. Her tea times were so memorable. . . . . as I know yours will be dear Marilyn.

I just love your tea photos, Marilyn. They are always special in their own way.
