We have been having lots of high winds this summer and I'm afraid my William Baffin Explorer rose has escaped the arbor again! Anyway, the roses are so beautiful I set a tea for you and I to enjoy.
I've been waiting for the perfect time to share with you this pretty pink china. A few months ago I was at our local thrift store and spotted this American Limoges set. The name is Chateau-K, Minuet Pink. There are five dinner plates, five dessert plates, three teacups, and six saucers. They were on sale for half price, $4.00! I still cannot believe I was lucky enough to find these! My Sadler teapot you've seen before, along with the unmarked creamer and sugar bowl. I also found the crochet topper and lace trimmed napkins at a resale store. Actually everything on the table is a thrift store find!
Now that I'm through being wordy help yourself to the tea tray and enjoy a cup or two of Earl Gray tea.
Enjoy the many different variety of flowers with your tea. I wish you could hear the chorus of bird song in my gardens. A little bit of heaven to me!
Thank you so much for spending time with me. I really appreciate your visits and lovely comments.
I will be joining the following parties this week: Tea Time Tuesday, A Return To Loveliness, Teacup Tuesday, Tuesday Cuppa Tea, Tea In The Garden, Cottage Garden Party, Share Your Cup Thursday, Simple and Sweet Fridays, Home Sweet Home, Show and Tell Friday, Pink Saturday, and Saturday Showoff.

Hi Nancy! Your tea by the Rose Arbor is so soft and feminine. Your new dishes are beautiful, and what a great bargain-priced find! You and Angela [Tea With Friends] have the best luck finding beautiful tea things at reasonable prices. So happy for you! I saw your Sadler teapot in my area over the weekend. Your tiered server is loaded with yummy looking tea food. Wish I could join you in your beautiful garden! ~ Phyllis

Hello Nancy
That was quite a bargain you got for the china and it looks pretty with your Sadler teapot.
The crocheted table topper is sweet and at some angles, your tea table looks like there is a whole field of wildflowers behind it.

Oh, what a delightful garden! Oh my! No wonder you are in heaven....sitting there with the beautiful scenery, and your beautifully laid table. Such a fine way to take tea!
Your new pink china is so pretty. I rushed over to eBay to see if any were listed, but no. You had a very lucky find. Yay! I am thrilled for you!

Hello, Nancy
What a beautiful setting for your gorgeous tea. I almost expect some little woodland fairies to appear and to enjoy it with you. It looks like a magical setting.

Your garden is the perfect spot for afternoon tea - and Earl Grey is my favourite! Explorer Roses are great, aren't they? They were bred for a climate much like yours must be.
Hi Nancy,
What a gorgeous oasis of roses and other lovelies! Your charming garden could easily be found in the rolling hills of the English countryside! The teacups and saucers are very sweet, just perfect for this setting!
Thanks for the treat!
