A pair of Scarecrows stopped by for tea. Their work in the garden is over since the produce is harvested!
Tea today is Taylors of Harrogate Yorkshire Gold, a full bodied dark tea. I made some yummy spice sugar cookies, also.
The brown transferware tea set is the Yorkshire pattern, made in Staffordshire England. I found the teapot (really a coffee pot) at a antique mall, the sugar and creamer at a thrift store, and the two teacups on Ebay . I love the scene, a lazy fall day bringing in the hay.
Hoping you are enjoying tea time today!
Thank you for visiting and have a wonderful Autumn week!
I will be joining the following parties: Teatime Tuesday, Friends Sharing Tea, Teacup Tuesday, Tuesday Cuppa Tea, What's It Wednesday, Share Your Cup Thursday, Simple and Sweet Fridays, Home Sweet Home, and Show and Tell Friday.

Another lovely fall tea outdoors, Nancy! I love your English Yorkshire transferware. How nice that you were able to find accompanying teacups on E-bay to match your thrift store finds. You have the BEST luck at thrift stores! The scene on the transferware is lovely.
Have a great week, and enjoy Michigan's beautiful fall colors.

What a lovely outdoor tea - and sweet guests. I love the tea set - what good luck to find matching things.
A perfect tea party for October! Love the leaf-shaped cookies and the scarecrow guests!
Oh I love this transferware Nancy! Such a typical Fall scene. So happy that your scarecrows get to sit back, relax, and enjoy tea. I love Nasturtiums, but forget to plant them. I need to next year for sure. Thanks for sharing with SYC.

Wonderful Nancy. I love the nasturtiums..they are so hardy! And they go so well with the transferware. I love the Yorkshire pattern, and I love the Yorkshire Gold tea! Such a pretty setting for a garden tea. Glad you can still get out for that! Thanks so much for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

Your potting shed is so picturesque...love those vines! The cups are nice for autumn too.
Love your tea set! Perfect for this time of year! The setting is beautiful too. Your potting shed looks lovely with the ivy/Virginia creeper - so nice to still see green lawn. Beautiful tea!

Hi Nancy,
