Valentines Day is such a perfect
time to have a few friends over
for Afternoon Tea or plan a
romantic dinner. I think roses are
certainly a romantic flower.
One of my New's Year's Resolutions was that I would have more time for blogging - ha! I can't seem to find more hours in the days...does anyone know where they go?
This morning I collected a few
things to you on a more
romantic table.
The hydrangeas from my Sister-in-law have been a welcome this winter. I have seen quite a few blogs which feature the "already happening" signs of spring. Here in Colorado, I know better as we will have substantial snow before that happens. We actually MUST have snow as this is how we get our drinking water here. Also, the skiing industry depends on the snow!
I have enjoyed reading "Scones & Tea" lately and want to remind you there is a chapter on Glutten Free which is very helpful! My grandmother gave me this vase when she was still living.
Winter is the perfect time to dig into your tea books and try new things. The hot oven only makes the house warmer and it is always fun to try something new for a change. We dream about our gardens but they are sleeping right now. Time to be "indoors".
Dear Bernideen,
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a nice Valentines Day. Your tea table looks very inviting. As usual you share so many wonderful porcelain things like the pretty tea cup, the tea pot and the wonderful vase. And so many nice doilies, I love them all. I know, time is running so fast. I can feel that by myself. Although it will last its time, spring is coming. Everything gets a bit easier in the sunshine. Until that I need a lot of tea.
Best greetings, Johanna
Hi Bernideen, Your tea table is lovely. You always have such pretty china! Thanks for hosting Friends Sharing Tea.

I always enjoy your photos. You have such beautiful things!
ReplyDeleteYou are so correct about the drinking water. The farmers out here also depend on the snow for their summer irrigation of the crops that feed us. So many farms have been out of production because of the lack of water. Let it snow, and snow. And I'll shovel. Then enjoy some tea to warm up!♥♫
ReplyDeleteHi Bernideen,
ReplyDeleteYour tea table always looks lovely and I really like your collage. Now that Valentines day is behind us, I'm beginning to think about Spring, although like you, we here in Eastern Canada will have lots of snow yet. One can dream however. Hope you had a lovely Valentines Day.
Blessings,
Sandi

Hello Bernideen
ReplyDeleteYour tea vignette is lovely and I really like the collage at the bottom of your post.
I wish I had brought some of my tea books with me on holiday to read and mark recipes to try. That is what I want to do though, try something new each week when we get home.

Lovely tea vignette. There aren't enough hours in the day. Perhaps we should go to an 8 day week?!!!! ACK!! I must look for the book. Happy Tea Day!
ReplyDeleteEverytime I visit I am in awe at the lovely photo vignettes you have created! Thanks so much for sharing you expertise and eye for loveliness...with a bit of whimsy thrown in.
ReplyDeleteI love to visit!

Hi Bernideen,
ReplyDeleteYour tea vignette is gorgeous, as always. I hope you had a nice Valentine's Day. You have so many lovely pieces of china.
You know I share your hopes for more blogging. Thanks for your encouraging words on my blog. We'll hope for the best.
ReplyDeleteBernideen, this is such a lovely post.
ReplyDeleteWe are having such a mild winter, but i'm hopeful that March will give us some deep snow. I've heard that when we don't get much moisture during the winter, the summer will be extra hot and dry.
May you have a wonderful week-end,
d
Love the vignette and the wonderful piece from your grandmother!

I think it would be a great joy to share tea with you, Bernideen!! I'm going to start pulling out my tea books soon as I would like to do a "Downton Abbey" tea with my lady friends who are enjoying the PBS series.
ReplyDeleteI'm off to check on some more bloggers who "do" tea.
Best,
Bonnie
I always enjoy seeing all your lovely tea wares. Your Grandmother's vase is beautiful. Hope you get all the snow thats needed for water and skiing.
