Say it with Roses–Tea Time Tuesday

I am so excited to take part in Sandi’s 2nd Birthday of Tea Time Tuesday Posts.   I really do love blogging, I can visit with friends in far away places, and then in turn have them visit me here. It is winter here, so I do not have roses in the garden and, well, I’m unable […]

Tea Time Tuesday

We did have snow on the ground this morning. It was cold and blowing off of the roof and it really looked like a blizzard. This afternoon the sun is shining and the wind has calmed down. I can even see the peak – covered with snowIt’s a typical January day in Colorado Springs. While […]

You’ve got me singing the blues

I’m not sad, I just realized how many “blue” teacups I have.      These are put away for now.  These are on display in the dining room. And these, blue glass teacups, were just used for an afternoon tea that I posted about here:  Saturday Tea in the Garden  The only thing is – I […]

Blue Monday

Actually it’s Saturday Tea in the Garden hosted by Bernideen (but by the time I get this posted it might be Monday!)  My girls and I were out all day Friday “back to school” shopping.   We stopped in to TJ Maxx/ Homegoods and while they were looking for the latest trends in fashion I was in the gourmet aisle and look […]

Tea Cup Tuesday

Hello tea cup loving friends!   I found this teacup at the Goodwill without a saucer,  I thought it was much too pretty to leave there so I brought it home.    Then I went yard saling (sailing?) and I found the saucer.    When I picked it up, I thought it was a perfect match to the cup […]

Teddy Bear Tea in the Garden

Happy Saturday everyone!  I read the following story a few years ago and thought it was cute.  I also think it would be a wonderful story to read to little tea party goers as a nice lead in to teaching about manners.  I found it at this website: http://www.victoriana.com/christmas/teddybear.html   I have added pictures of my own […]

Show Off

I just have to show off one of my b-day presents.   Some sweet friends of mine gave this to me Isn’t it gorgeous?  I just love black tea cups.   There’s something regal about them.  I know I have seen posts about some of these black beauties before, I just don’t remember who it was. It is gorgeous […]

Early Morning Tea on the Deck

A few years ago I acquired these beautiful columbine plates from my mother in law and even though I only had three I kept them because I thought they looked so good on my 3 tier server. Then this year for mother’s day my daughter took me to breakfast and then for a mani/pedi.   Such a sweet […]

Saturday Tea in the Garden with my grandbabies

We had a long day today and ended it with a restful tea on the deck.   Nothing fancy, just shortbread cookies fromWalmart and sweet tea that I made earlier today.   To my MacKenzie it was the best.     Jace thought his sister’s hat was to play with… There was no view of the mountains today because of the smoke from the […]

Tea in the Garden

Welcome to Tea in my Garden!  What a fun time we had putting this breakfast tea for two together.  The fruit of our labors was well worth the effort!   We started outside so we could enjoy this view of our majestic Pikes Peak, but the morning breeze quickly turned to wind!     Lets go inside, to my sunroom, […]
