The red climbing rose is an Explorer rose called Ramblin Red. It is so hardy and never dies back in our sub zero winters.
I used a trio set of dishes marked Triumph, American Limoges, U.S.A. 22 k gold. A Romantic set! I love how the gentleman is serenading the lovely ladies. I wonder which girl he has has lost his heart to?
Did you notice the back of the chair has a heart in the middle!
Someone is peeking at the tea table!
I can't wait until Summer!

This is so delightful. I love the gated entrance too with the birds on the posts. So pretty. I love the china and have never seen this version with the girls on front in the pretty dresses! I love it!

Lovely! I have always though those 17th century designs were so romantic. They were so popular in the 1930s! I love your garden setting. So romantic!

This looks so beautiful and reminds me of the time I had in my cottage garden a few years ago. I love the red and white roses which remind me of the Snow White and Rose Red story book I used to have. Thanks for sharing. Chel
ReplyDeleteWould love to sit in that heart back chair and enjoy a spot of tea with you.
ReplyDeleteNancy, this post has me yearning for roses blooming in my garden. I am so anxious to see how my newly planted rose garden faired this harsh winter. Love your beautiful dishes. I too wonder which girl he chose. Thanks for sharing with SYC.

Beautiful and romantic ~ lovely. Happy Pink Saturday to you, Dru
ReplyDeleteYou picture has inspired me. I want to go out and "fluff" my garden table today. I am housebound with a husband in pain waiting for surgery on Tuesday. Perhaps lunch in the garden will lift his spirits.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend.
