I made a little tea for you and me among my Irises. In the spring purple dominates my gardens!
I set the table with a white lace tablecloth and topped it off with a colorful purple scarf that my friend gave me. I'm using my blue ruffle crinoline dishes along with my white hobnail sugar and creamer I received for a wedding gift almost 47 years ago! I bought the kitty teapot years ago at a grocery store when my children were young.
The building in the background I call the "outhouse" is used for storing garden items.
Thank you for stopping by and sharing Tea with me. I always enjoy your company!

Last week a lilac tea and this week an Iris tea! Your tea out doors area has a changing palate of such beauty! Lucky you!
The table setting is vibrant. I love it against the color of the iris.
The purple scarf is perfect with your very pretty dishes.
And the cat tea pot is so sweet! My granddaughters would giggle to see it and love using it too.

Hi Nancy,
your garden is beautiful. The blue iris remind me to a painting of VanGogh. So lovely and the setting is perfect for that. The soft blue in the china is lovely and the kitty pot is cute. Thank you for sharing this romantic tea time.
Best greetings, Johanna
What lovely Iris's and also lupines I see. A beautiful place to relax and your photos are lovely! Thank you for linking to Tea In The Garden!
Oh my gracious! What a delightfully unique teapot - such a cute childrens tea party set. Thank you for a lovely visit for Pink Saturday!
Nancy, your setting is amazing! The colors in your photos are just sooo pretty. I love how the blue chairs pick up the blue in your kitty teapot. I lived in MI for about 18 months, back in the mid '80's, before we moved to Texas.
Wish I had an "out house" for my tools. I love the purples and your tea all set up. Your children must have loved the kitty teapot.

Gorgeous irises, lovely table - I love the hobnail items (I collect hobnail). The kitty cat teapot is also beautiful, I bet the children loved that when they were growing up. Thanks for sharing the beauty with us! Hugs ~ Mary
I would love to come for tea. Your flowers make a beautiful backdrop to the table set for tea.

Hi Nancy, your assortment of Iris's are beautiful. I love purple flowers and your tablescape is so darling. I love how wooded your garden is. I bought a new Iris the other day. It was unusual and was only $3. Of course, it had a bit of purple. Thanks for sharing with Share Your Cup.
