TEA IN THE GARDEN

Welcome to a beautiful morning 
and time for Tea In The Garden!

 Please pour yourself a cup
 of tea and linger.





This week our temperatures have
 gone back to the 80's and
 are wonderful - this is
 Colorado as it should be.





Recently I happened upon one of those
 1950's vintage rose tablecloths - 
similar to one I found a while 
back but lighter in color!




Today is my 34th Tea In The Garden.








I am very fond of Foxgloves - I am sure because of Tasha Tudor - of course mine are very short because I failed to water them with her "goat manure tea" as she called it!



Thanks to the many who asked about my smashed toes - I noticed yesterday that I was no longer limping so I am definitely on the mend.







I have really enjoyed my small flower garden this summer.  I will be taking this bouquet to the lady behind the greenbelt behind our house. She is being cared for now by her daughter and I hope these will bring her some cheer!

I want to especially thank you all for participating.....
I know it is work to set up Tea In Your Garden....
I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

  2. Your tablecloth is beautiful, and so is your teapot! I admire your QA lace; the ammi majust is much shorter so plant it in the front of your garden. Have a wonderful day and thanks for sponsoring Tea in the Garden!

  4. Hi bernideen,
    how wonderful is this tea table in your romantic garden. I love the pink petticoat under the tablecloth. What a feast of roses! Love the delicate china with wonderful rose decor and the outstanding shape. All is set so carefully. The Lady will be pleased with this marvellous bouquet. Your foxgloves look really very special, too. I have never seen such before. Thank you for sharing your garden tea and for hosting this wonderful event.
    Best greetings, Johanna

  12. I love your cottage garden and the Queen Anne's lace makes me swoon. Your arrangement is beautiful and I know she will love it! I may be mistaken but your pretty tablecloth looks like a Wilendur. Very collectible. Lucky find! xo

    Beautiufl tea in your garden as usual! Your table looks so lovely with the pink rose tablecloth and the sheer pink looks so pretty. I have the same tablecoth, only a red one and a yellow one. I also have the hobnail vase like yours! We do like the same things! Your flowers are so beautiful and my you have lots of Queen Anne's lace! So pretty! Lovely teapot and teacups, also. I really enjoy having tea in my garden. I look forward to it every week and will be sad when the weather turns cold. We've had such a beautufl summer, warmer than usual which I love. Again, thank you for hosting your lovely tea party!

  17. I'd love a cup of tea at this garden party in the cool temps of Colorado. ;-) Beautiful, Bernideen.

  18. You do make the loveliest flower arrangements and the Queen Annes Lace just adds to them. The teapot and cups n saucers are so pretty and love the tablecloth. We have sold them for years and watching auctions now for them. Now that I am we won't get them. But what really caught my eye was the crocheted teapot coaster. My mom had two of them when I was a little girl-50 years ago, one the same that you have and one green and white. Forgot all about them. Thank you for sharing them...

  20. Hello Bernideen
    I like the way the sun is hitting your tea table this week, it really adds a cozy ambience.
    Your silver pieces intrigued me, I've been picking up the odd piece here and there, finally found a tomato server that I was happy with.
