I started to take out my fall decorations seeing its September and the autumn season is upon us with the cool weather we've been having. I thought I'd do tea in front of my potting shed where you can get a peek of my four square garden in the background.
I'm using a small quilt today for the table covering and teacup and plate I found at a thrift store. The cup and saucer is Nasco Fruit Festival pattern, and the plate is Autumn's Delight by Johnson Bros. I found them at different stores, but they match great to me. I just love the calico pattern and the fruit motif is perfect for the harvest season. The teapot is filled with Carrington English Breakfast tea, a nice mellow black tea.
I'm going to enjoy another old issue of Victoria magazine. They don't ever seem to go out of fashion. The little watering can is a favorite of mine, a gift from my Daughter-in-law and Son. The verse on it is so sweet.
Hope you enjoyed my first Autumn tea for this year! Please come by for tea next week and thank you so much for visiting me.
I'll be joining the following lovely parties: Teatime Tuesday, Teacup Tuesday, Tuesday Cuppa Tea, Tabletop Tuesday, A Return to Loveliness, Tea in the Garden, Cottage Garden Party, Share Your Cup Thursday, Teacup Thursday, Sweet and Simple Fridays, Home Sweet Home, Show and Tell Fridays and Saturday Showoff.

Looks like a very cozy & inviting place to have tea ! I love the china pattern , perfect for this time of year.
Loved your first Autumn Tea! Everything is so nicely done. Love your shed!
What a lovely autumn tea! Love the brass bed parts used for fencing. [At least I think that's what it is.] How very creative! Beautiful quilt and tablescape - the dishes go together perfectly.
The watering can is indeed a treasure! And as always, your garden is lovely!
What a wonderful harvest tea! Love the teacup from your header. The quilt as a tablecloth is a wonderful thematic anchor! Thanks so much for sharing your lovely tea and linking to Tuesday Cuppa Yea!

Your autumn tea has a rustic ambience which I find appealing. I like your watering can too, such a thoughtful gift. Your thrift teacup and plate have a pretty fall pattern on them.

This setting is so inviting! I haven't been out in a place like that since I was a kid. I live far from your neck of the woods, but this scene conjures up the scents and the sounds and the intriguing beauty of MI from a sweet time long ago. It's just lovely!
