Easter Tea for Two and Two for Tea

By -

I HAD THE CHANCE TO STOP INTO A TEA SHOP THIS MORNING.

GRACE, ALL THE TABLES WERE SO LOVELY, I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF YOU.  i REALLY LOVED THE PURPLE BUNNY ON THE DARK TABLE CLOTH.   MR BUNNY IS HOLDING A CHOCOLATE EGG IN PURPLE FOIL.

THE WAY THE TABLE WAS LAYERED IN SEVERAL CLOTHS AND THE LITTLE ROUND TEA CUP MATS REALLY WORKED. 

ONE OF MY SISTERS ALWAYS DECORATES HER TABLES FOR EVEN THE SLIGHTED SNACK AND DROP IN AT HER HOUSE.
WE ARE VERY DIFFERENT.  

YOU ARE LUCKY IF YOU GET A PAPER NAPKIN AROUND MY HOUSE.  I DO MANAGE TO GUSSY IT UP WHEN IT IS A MAJOR HOLIDAY OR CELEBRATION. 

IM KNITTING THE SECOND SOCK ALREADY THIS MORNING. 
IM HAVING A LOVELY CUP OF COFFEE TOO.
I FOUND SOME CLOTTED CREME AT THE TEA SHOP AND I THINK IM IN HEAVEN. 

HOWS YOUR DAY GOING?

Hugs to you Kathy,

I would love a trip to a tea shop! I also love the tea table in the photo. I'm afraid pretty tables fall by the wayside in my house. When our extended family of 24 arrives they get paper plates and napkins and plastic forks and knives. One year at Thanksgiving I brought out Mother's beautiful china and they were all afraid to use it--back to the paper plates!

we used to have a tea & yarn shop, but it's no longer. They set pretty tables too. I'm like you although I do have a large selection of cloth napkins. g

What a lovely table for tea! It would be a perfect setting for sipping tea and chatting with a friend. Have a great day!

My whole house is SO unfancy. Very spartan in some people's opinion. LOL

BUT, I do promise a nice cup of tea if you happen to stop by. I have a pretty good selection. ;-)

You and Grace need to come on down!

What a sweet little table! I love table sets like that. You got me thinking about how I'm going to set my table for Easter now. Hmmm...

Hot tea is my favorite beverage - year round. I drink gallons and gallons of it every week.

The tea table setting is lovely. I hope you had a nice visit and some tea sandwiches or treats, too.

I have never been to a tea house, but I have a groupon for one. It looks very nice.

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
