I'm using a vintage tablecloth I've had for ages. I thought the blue thrift store dishes would look pretty on it. The teacup and saucer are both unmarked, but the shallow bowl is marked "engraved for W. Ridgeway & Co. England".
It was pretty warm out, so I brought out my iron stone pitcher filled with ice water and lemon.
To make sure no bees land in the ice water I used dollar store doilies and crocheted beads to them, to use as little coverings.
Sure hope you can find a sunny warm place for tea outdoors! Thank you for visiting and wishing you a wonderful week.
I will be joining the following parties this week: Tea in the Garden, Tuesday Cuppa Tea, and Teacup Tuesday.

Hi Nancy,
Your setting is just gorgeous today - in the midst of beautiful daisies and greenery! Love your ironstone chair, tablecloth and pitcher with a crocheted doily. The blue is perfect with the yellow wild flowers in the background. So pretty! Thank you for visiting me! Happy Summer! Karen
Your daisies are such a joy to see blooming, Nancy. I love how you've crocheted the beads onto the doilies and what a great idea to use them for protection. Your darling cherub looks so cute in the chair, too.
De-lightful! Love the daisies! Love everything about this. I hope you enjoyed your tea time in the garden.I know I would love to be there with you! We would have such fun! Thank you for sharing with us.
It's a little too warm here in Florida right now for outdoor tea parties. But just wait until fall and winter...it will be perfect.
Such a lovely setting for tea! I love those beautiful flowers and your vintage tablecloth. The cherub is so sweet, keeping you company there. And the beaded doilies for the drinks are perfect. Have a lovely week, Nancy.
Hi Nancy -
I've only seen your cottage in the all, so seeing it with all the summer blossoms is so wonderful. You have a special way of combining dishes and linens, to make tea time so inviting. I never thought of putting a doily over the pitcher as a cover - I'm going to try that. Enjoy every sunny moment at the cottage!
Your tea is absolutely perfect and sweet for summer :) Daisies are such a "happy" flower, don't you think?
As always, you have set up a beautiful tea, sweet Nancy :)
Have a great week! Hugs
Daisies are one of my favorite flowers. Love the "Tea" setting.
One of our favorite movie lines is "Daisies are the friendliest flower". Love your blue and white china too!
I can't get over your lovely garden! It changes week to week and always so lovely! Of course I love this...blue and white! Thanks so much for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

I love daisies..... they just make me smile! And Blue and White China, always one of my most favorites
Oh how lovely to have that table smack dab in the middle of the garden! Wonderful! Nancy, I will be happy to send you some Queen Anne's Lace seeds after the season! Will get your address later!
Love that table clothe. Everything looks perfect in the garden. It is way too hot for me to do something like that. Have a wonderful week dear lady. Blessings, Martha
Your garden is so pretty as is your tea. The doily covers are a great idea! I hope you have a great week :)
How pretty having tea amid a field of daisies! Lovely.
Hugs,
