Afternoon Tea

Hello everyone,
 I hope you had a great weekend  and are now looking forward to what this week has in store for you! It is colder here today but the sun is shining and that makes up for the colder temps.
  This afternoon I set out my pretty blue and white tea set for our afternoon tea as we haven't used it lately .

The teacups came from our  trip to Maine last year. I know you are probably thinking I seem to buy a lot of dishes when I go on a trip and you are right but is so tempting when you find them for a good price to leave them all behind. When we go to Maine we take our car so there is more space then when we fly somewhere. Should I also point out that shopping for dishes and other little things for our home is my only vice! Ha!

My husband gave me most of these matching pieces- he knows my weakness for china.

A pretty transferware pitcher with baby's breath.

Take a few minutes to enjoy a beautiful Victoria magazine while you sip your tea.

I am so happy to see the first of our locally grown tulips hit the grocery stores.. this week they are $3. a bundle.

 So much of my inspiration comes from the Victoria magazines both old and new.

A little candle glow makes it that much prettier!

 I hope you enjoyed  a peaceful afternoon tea.
