If you have visited me long enough you might notice when I have teatime
there is 99% chance there are flowers too.
In the basket above you might say there is no tea in the picture,
but it still represents teatime for me.
You see that is a tea pickers basket for drying the tea.
I brought home 3 of the smaller ones from Taiwan several years ago.
I love using them to collect flowers in the garden,
especially when the flowers will be in a bouquet for teatime.
Watch for it! These flowers do go in a teatime bouquet.
Seasonal bouquets are the best, right out of my garden.
Even this very simple bouquet of calla lilies is laying in my tea basket.
Yes, this was a springtime tea in the garden house.
A summer bouquet in a teacup.
And here it is, my teatime this week with the flowers in the first picture.
All of the flowers are from my garden.
This week I was celebrating a new teacup.
I am particularly drawn to green and white right now,
so when I saw this vintage Coleport teacup, made in England,
I couldn't resist.
The simple white teapot is one of my favorite morning ritual teapots.
It is a gift from a friend and I love it.
Flower and tea, what could be a better combination.
Two things that make my heart sing.
