I am not sure how I let Beatrix
Potter's birthday celebration
slip by me last Saturday. She was
born July 28, 1866. I am quite a
fan and have shared my Beatrix
looking garden statuary many
times with you.

times with you.
I set up a little child sized table
in front of the peachless peach
tree as the squirrels have
removed all but 2 peaches.
Monday I thought I best sew
up a little Peter Rabbit Jacket
for a special tea time in the
garden and invite you to tea!
I saw other's do this in the past
on their blogs so I am not
pretending to have an original
idea!

As you no doubt recall, Peter's
blue jacket was made by his
Mother but was caught in a net
in Mr. McGregor's garden.
Frankly, Peter was very lucky to
escape. I am sorry for him that he
got sent to bed without the
delicious blackberries that
Flopsy, Mopsy
and Cottontail got to enjoy!
I do think Beatrix would approve.
Our July was so hot - I doubt Beatrix
ever experienced anything like the
high 90's in her darling English
Hilltop Garden.
I love all the photos I have seen
of Hilltop and I know many of
you have visited there. I am drawn
to the sweetness of it all.
Of course, we are drinking Chamomile
tea today that I got at Tuesday
Morning
which is a favorite store!
What an absolutely darling tea in your garden, Bernideen! I love the Beatrix Potter theme, the cute sewn jacket and the pretty table. It is all simply enchanting! Thank you for hosting and sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much to love about this post Bernideen! That cute jacket, the darling figurines, but I am in love with that teapot!
ReplyDeleteBeatrix Potter gave us all a gift through her art and books, and through her vision to save farms in the Lake District! I hope to visit Hilltop Farm one day!
I so love everything Beatrix Potter, and your oh-so-lovely Beatrix Tea Time.

ReplyDeleteOh I have always loved Beatrix Potter also
I love your story and little table and chairs and of course Peter's jacket in the garden
I can't count the times I have watched my movie about Beatrix Potter
No one sets a table outside prettier than you
How sweet this post is. Peter was in my backyard this morning, sniffing around our very dry yard. Didn't see him nibble on anything---our food is fenced in....but that won't deter an aggressive rabbit....!
ReplyDeleteLove this post!

ReplyDeleteWhat a charming tribute to Beatrix Potter! I've always enjoyed her books and just watched the new Peter Rabbit movie a few weeks ago. Thank you for hosting!
ReplyDeleteBernideen, I'm a huge Beatrix Potter fan, so really enjoyed this post. One of my BP pieces is a square Peter Rabbit teapot (must take a photo sometime). But today it's Old Country Roses along with my scones tutorial.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Bernideen, what a fantastic post!! Love all of your Peter Rabbit pieces but I especially love Peter's Jacket on the stick like Mr. MacGregor did!! So cute!!
ReplyDeleteBeatrix Potter would be delighted to have tea in your garden!
ReplyDeleteAdorable !
ReplyDeleteVery sweet! I do love Beatrix Potter and have visited Hill Top. I almost cried, as it was a dream come true to stand in her garden and walk in her home.
ReplyDeleteOh my word, this is adorable! I too have always loved the little watercolors of B Potter and have read them to the kids for years. What a perfect little tea you have set in honor of her birthday. Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely beautiful, it's like a dream! I love all your china and tablecloths, and your garden is superb! So very gorgeous! Such a lovely way to honour the lovely Beatrix Potter :)
