Miniature Tea

Hello and welcome!

I hope you all had a good week!   Today I want to congratulate Sandi from Rose Chintz Cottage on her three year anniversary of her lovely blog.  She so graciously invites us to a beautiful tea party every week.  Sandi loves roses so I chose to share a bouquet I received my my Son and Daughter-in-law last Mothers Day.  Did you know that peach colored roses signify feelings of appreciation and gratitude?  We so appreciate your blog, Sandi!







I also thought I'd share with you some miniature tea parties I had at the farm cottage last spring.  My Daughter-in-law gave me the darling tea shop.  It is perfect for storing tea!  I see a tiny garden fairy is enjoying her tea in front of the tea store!






The next tea is on my fireplace mantle.  I started out by putting a sheet of moss on a book and taking an old doll house table and covering it with a hankie, and used the miniature items I've collected over the years.






Last spring I invited a couple of ceramic little ladies for tea in the garden.  They are enjoying tea among the creeping thyme.






Eloise is enjoying tea among the miniature pinks.






Lastly, a couple of flower girls taking time for tea.







Lots of tea time today!  Hope you enjoyed the little bit of whimsy!  Thank you so much for visiting me and I wish you all a lovely week.

I will be joining the following parties this week:  Teatime Tuesday, Teacup Tuesday, Tuesday Cuppa Tea, A Return to Loveliness, Garden Style Party, Friends Sharing Tea, Share Your Cup Thursday, Show and Tell Friday, Home Sweet Home, Feathered Nest Friday, Show and Tell Friday, and Pink Saturday.
