Good Monday morning and what a lovely morning it is as the sun rises up in my backyard garden. I don't have a big garden but the one I have I just love looking out at from my kitchen window. It brings me joy! Today we are having some strawberry tea in the garden.
Welcome to Tea In The Garden!
Have a seat here at the picnic table and we can chat a bit.
I am not sure how I got this fascination for these fun doilies. I seem to be drawn to them like a magnet. I have shared my little cottage Japanese teapot before.
I am sharing with you a couple of denim tote bags I sewed yesterday afternoon for my shop. This one has an old crochet potholder basket on the front. (actually to hold the potholders)
And the other has part of an old yoyo
piece on it and I have many more to do.
I have some strawberry tea for you so please pour a cup and enjoy using this little strawberry spoon! I hope you like the linens I have chosen and of course they have embroidered strawberries.
The tea is from The Metropolitan Tea
Company and tastes delicious.
You have a charming garden, Bernideen. It has been cold and rainy here for days so I'm keeping cozy indoors. Your linens are lovely and the teapot is a treasure for sure. Thank you for sharing this and joining me for tea. Have a beautiful day.

I am in love with your yard....it is just gorgeous! That pretty crocheted grape piece caught my eye, I have one like it (except the grapes are purple) that my mother made back in the 50's. Hugs, Penny
ReplyDeleteI love your garden setting, Bernideen! It is so magical and I would love to sit and chat with you. The old door looks beautiful in your yard. Of course, all your linens are spectacular, and I especially love the strawberry ones. Your denim purses turned out so cute with your special touches. Thanks for hosting your party. xo
ReplyDeleteI really like that tea pot! and those tote bags are so cute!
ReplyDeleteLovely Bernideen! I, too, have a love for the fun doilies. I LOVE your yoyo purse! So cute! You are a clever lady! Thanks for sharing your wonderful garden tea setting and treasures with Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

What a lovely garden, a very special setting to show off all of your tea pots and cups. I found was very special the wooden bird house then I saw that wonderful bird bath. it was the crown of the garden.
ReplyDeleteThe strawberry doily is sweetly charming! I can see why you are drawn to it. What lovely elements you have in your garden...love the old door.
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks so lovely in the background and love your tea table with the sweet doilies! Your tote bags are wonderful. Love how you embellish them! Thank you for hosting!

Hi Bernideen,
ReplyDeleteYour Strawberry Tea in the Garden is so very pretty today! I love the crocheted doilies, tablecloth, teacup and lovely teapots. Your garden is so beautiful too! Thank you for hosting Tea Time today.
Have a happy week! Karen
This is just SO pretty Bernideen! I love getting to visit your beautiful garden anytime I can. You have created such a lovely tea today.
ReplyDeleteYour tote bags are wonderful!
sending hugs...
I'm so jealous of tea in the garden. It's already too hot here to be outside very long. Love your linens .. the hand embroidery is wonderful and the doilies -- crochet loveliness! Your bags are very clever. Love strawberries. Happy Tea Day and thank you for hosting.
ReplyDeleteYour BP garden is filling in nicely already and looks inviting with the tea table set up beside it. I always love the linens you share and the teapot is perfect for a tea with a bit of whimsy.
ReplyDeleteDoes that old door stay out all winter Bernideen?
Just remembered I forgot to comment on the "basket" pot holder. Actually it was a "holder" for pot holders. I had one awhile back. I even used the set as sort of a pattern and made myself another one.
ReplyDeleteThe basket would hold one pot holder tucked in
on each side.......
Your garden is absolutely amazing! And I love the fact that it is a Beatrix Potter garden! And you have the nicest tea things! I always admire your treasures!
ReplyDeleteYour yard and garden look beautiful, Bernideen! Love your linens and the strawberry tea sounds good.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Beth
Your garden is simply divine - and the table setting is precious. I love all the dishes and the linens - especially that cute strawberry tablecloth. I might try drawing some strawberries like that and stitching a cloth for myself - it is just delightful.
ReplyDeleteI adore your yard!
ReplyDeleteI have a little Japanese teapot almost exactly like that. My sister gave it to me about a year ago and told me it had been our mothers at one time.
Amazing!
If someone ever asks what your superpowers are, you can certainly say they include sewing the prettiest tote bags and collecting the prettiest doilies!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is a lovely spot for tea. The long shadows across the plants are beautiful. How fun to collect those doilies.
ReplyDeleteBernideen - What a magical post. It is just a beautiful setting you have there. I love how your gardens are so romantic looking. They are beautiful. Your little "houses" really are a wonderful addition to the whole setting. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI love your garden! So whimsical! The doilies are just fascinating! I am linking for the first time and was introduced to you by Miss Kathy at The Writers Reverie!

Bernideen you out did yourself with your garden tea. I love the door, the doilies and all your afternoon tea table. Cute cottage tea pot, I've been a collector of place mats and get jokes from the family over them. Sweet denim bags I didn't see the yoyo is it the button? Sorry somethings just don't jump out at me, at least you know i've read your blog, lol.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet place to pass an afternoon with tea and friends. I love your little bags - and the cottage tea pot is a favourite of mine - my mum has a set.
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful garden. One where you could get away from the world and never miss it! :) My gardens never tend to fill in like yours have. Oh well, one day! Thanks for having us over for tea.
