With temperatures in the 70's and lower
80's we know we should enjoy this lovely
weather while we can so why not
set up a little tea time in the garden?
I have set up our little tea
on the patio
underneath the deck.

I have been so excited to recently
find my teapot I was looking for a long
time. The pattern is Devonshire brown
which was one of Johnson Brothers old
1940's patterns. The transferware design
is reminiscent of the 1870-1880 Aesthetic
Period of the Victorian Era. They were
recently featured in the March/April
issue of Victoria magazine.

My garden has left spring behind now and
is "recharging" for summer. It is very green but now we are waiting for the hydrangeas to take off. I have found some of the Endless Summer ones that are in the shade are starting to bloom. They really aren't
fond of the Missouri July and August heat that stays in the mid to upper 90's.
The hollyhocks have come up by our mailbox:
There are pink, white, peach, and fuchsia ones!
I hope you enjoyed our tea in the garden today!
We enjoyed seeing our Grandson
Pete Canfield graduate from High
School recently with a full scholarship
to the University of Missouri.
Out in blogland I saw at least
one other lovely Tea In The Garden:
Congratulations to your grandson...a full scholarship...very impressive!
ReplyDeleteThe garden looks lovely and you have, once again. created a wonderful tea.
Your garden is such a lovely place for a tea. I love the Devonshire Brown pieces. Also, I wouldn't wonder if the postman's favorite stop might be yours.

ReplyDeleteLove the teapot and its matching tea sets. The pretty pattern reminds me of the Margaret pattern by Johnson Brothers.
I'd love to join you for tea in your beautiful garden, Bernideen! That Johnson Brother pattern is so pretty. I think I need some hollyhocks, as they add such a cottage charm! Congratulations to your grandson...what an accomplishment to get a full scholarship!
