You really shouldn't be late for this tea -
but if you are,
I don't mind! Since I retired
I don't like to hurry
anymore!
I set up tea for us under the
deck on the patio area. This
was one of the toppers I created by
layering vintage linens and
stitching them down.

You get the idea of the
area in this photo:
And yes, I am still doing
decoupage and have been
doing old vintage picnic baskets

tea related from your blog.
A special thank you to

ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty tea you've set for us today, Bernideen. I love all your pretty linens and your decoupaged pieces. Thank you for hosting and sharing your pretty garden with us.
ReplyDeleteOMG the Alice in Wonderland teapot is so pretty! Your collection of figures is so precious, where did you gets these characters? Your teapot table cloth adds to the story along with the garden setting.
ReplyDeleteI have had trouble commenting on your blog. Hope this gets to you.

Bernideen, I don't like to hurry any more either! But I'm never late to afternoon tea! Thank you for hosting. Everything is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDear Bernideen. What a fun tea party! Your teapot is amazing! Your whole table so cute with the clock and Alice in the teacup! I love your tablecloth, lots of work I am sure! Your garden so pretty and is that a new to you iron bench? So cute! I will be trying your scones too! It is finally warming up here. Hurrah! Enjoy your beautiful weather!

How beautiful! Looks like you have already made quite an impression there in your new hometown. I can just imagine the neighbors walking by and gazing with delight (if not envy!) at your lovely garden.
ReplyDeleteBernideen, your table is darling set for Alice! I love the tablecloth. You do have a lot of fun with your sewing machine, don't you? Unfortunately, tea hasn't been agreeing with me these days but hopefully that will change after next week {after my date with the doctor.} Your property is such a pleasant place and to enjoy tea outside would be lovely. Love your basket too. Have a wonderful weekend, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteHi Bernideen,
ReplyDeleteYour Tea in the Garden is so lovely.I must apologize for not linking up to your teas lately. We have a new grand son and other things have kept me busy. I know there is no excuse but I will try to link up when I can and visit you to enjoy your pretties! Thank you for being so faithful and committed to posting. Blessings, Karen
Your tea is delightful! I love what you are doing to the picnic baskets! Too cute! Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
ReplyDeleteSo nice that you can set up tea under the deck cause it would be shady there. Cute Alice! Thanks for hosting, Bernideen!....Christine
