CELEBRATING BEATRIX POTTER'S 152nd BIRTHDAY for "Tea In The Garden"

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.




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!

  2. There is so much to love about this post Bernideen! That cute jacket, the darling figurines, but I am in love with that teapot!

    Beatrix 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!

  5. 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....!

    Love this post!

  9. Bernideen, 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.

  12. Very 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.
