Daffodil Time

Hello everyone,
We are enjoying a beautiful  but cool spring day.  The sunlight is coming in our large windows making it cozy and warm inside, but sure wish it would warm up outside!  My daffodils are blooming now.  Early for them as they usually bloom mid May.

I set the table for tea today.  I don't own a daffodil teacup, but i do have a mug and plate to share that my special friend out in California gave me a few years ago when i visited her.  They are called "Daffodil"  by Suzanne Clee.  I got the teapot at a thrift store.  It looks spring like to me with the forget- me- nots and violets.  Its marked Ellgrave, a div of Wood  & Sons, England.  My sister gave me the cute little girl votive holder for my birthday last year, and the tiny goldfinch came from my Mom.








My angel statue among the daffodils outside looks like she's cold!



I'm so happy you stopped by today.  I hope you all have a wonderful week.

I'll be joining in on these lovely parties:
Tea Time Tuesday
Tabletop Tuesday
A Return To Loveliness
Show and Tell Friday

    Your daffodil garden is beautiful. Ours are almost finished here. The season is too short. But you have your gorgeous mug and plate to enjoy as well!

    Your daffodils are pretty and I really like the flowers and colours of the china. I couldn't find any teacups with daffodils but at least have the tablecloth I'm using for tea today.

    What a gorgeous display of daffodils you have in your garden! I love them! Your china is so pretty and really sets the mood for tea. Love the little girl and the goldfinch is darling! They are my favourite little feathered friends! Yellow is such a happy colour and your whole post brings happiness our way. Thank you for sharing and joining me for tea today.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    I enjoyed your tea, and the walk throught your garden. The angel was very welcoming and all the daffodils were waving at me.
    Thanks for the tour!

    Daffodils are my favorite spring flower! Your tea table looked so nice.

    It's cold & rainy here today, but that just means more beautiful flowers when the sun comes out!
    Have a great day! Luanne
