BLUEBIRD TEA for "Tea In The Garden"

 We have been so thrilled to have
cooler weather 
 going into October. 



I decided to set up a little bluebird
themed "tea in the garden" to
celebrate some lovely blue
hydrangeas.  Actually, not
much is really going on in the
backyard garden,  and the marigolds
and zinnias have now been removed
out front.  That was a big job for
sure.  In some ways - I could have 
waited till next month but I guess I
was in a cleanup mode that day.


I was so glad to get our huge project
behind us of removing our koi pond.
This year I was feeling a little over-
whelmed at the cleanup of the filters
every few days.  I had to take that over
last year because my husband has some
physical issues.  It was quite a project
to remove the pond but that is all 
behind us.

Thank God for our son, sweet neighbors and a brother of a lady in our subdivision
who showed up to help.  I think, he
may have been an angel in disguise!


So I hope you like bluebirds because
that is our theme.  They will come
back this winter and into early summer.
I love them and seeing them hatch
little baby bluebirds is such a joy.


Please enjoy some tea!


I've had this tea set for a long time
now from my store.  I actually had
2 teapots but decided that was silly
so I shared one with another lady
who blogged.  That made me happy.


I have always loved the song 
"The White
Cliffs of Dover".


I made this little table topper
a long time back with a
combination of old vintage
linens.


We have enjoyed some lovely
blue hydrangeas in our yard
this year.  They just bloomed now
as they barely hang on all summer
because of our heat and if it turns cold when it is time to bloom.....too bad.

This year we love them!


I hope your fall is lovely.


I have been on a learning curve lately
and I am not very good at these video/reels
yet but hope you enjoy anyway:

  1. Such a stunningly beautiful table setting. Your Bluebird tablecloth is exquisite and compliments the tea set perfectly. I covet your hydranges, unfortunately I've never had luck growing them.
    Thank you for sharing and making me smile.

  2. Again, the blue hydrangeas are so lovely. Once again, it is one more "deer" food that I can not plant! I do see them in town so I have to enjoy other peoples. The last photo in your post shows the sunlight high in the arbor and it just looks so pretty. I keep putting out meal worms as the whole passel of about 20 blue bird babies just love an easy meal.
