I'll be right over for tea and treats! Everything on your beautiful table looks wonderful! Love that teapot!
Ahhh, that is so pretty! Reminds me of my grandma who used to set up little tea parties for my sister and I outside by her rose bush. I love ginger snaps too, my favorite with a cup of hot chocolate before bed.
We got snow today! I think we have some how missed Spring! :D
Hello BJ... What a lovely tea, everything looks so yummy :-) That rose bush is loaded... lucky you!

Hi BJ, oh, I just love your tea among the beautiful pink roses. The transfer ware is perfect in an old fashioned way. Now I know where you get your love of thrifting. Your mom started it long ago. The book is charming. Beautiful photos too. Your posts are always so lovely, or funny,or full of family love. I love that about you.
Happy roses dear friend,
Jeanne
You have created such a romantic tea in the roses!

I remember when gloves were de rigeur for any tea, and when it was important to ask the correct person to pour!
Your tea party in the garden is so pretty - what a treat to be surrounded by roses, on and off the table!
"Aunt Amelia" was here.
Which means I read and enjoyed and want to write a big Comment. But I can't stay on line, long enough to do so. -Bleahhh-
So I'm leaving this weird comment all over Pretty Blog Land.

That looks amazing!! You lead a very pretty life!!! I love this post!!
