Tea in the Garden

Hello everyone!

Yesterday was a beautiful sunny warm day so it was a good day to have tea in the garden.I want to enjoy my outdoor teas as long as I can ! the garden is taking on its's fall colors. You can see the virginia creeper on the back wall is turning rusty red.

But our little tea is still more of a pretty in pink theme so I am using my chintz tea set today.

I made some sticky date cake for today.

I bought this set a few years ago-it has 6 cups and saucers ,a creamer and sugar bowl and of course a teapot.

We still have roses blooming and although we had frost it wasn't a killing frost so the garden is still fine.

I love chintz as well as tranferware dishes.

As many of you know I am a big fan of the Victoria magazine and i love their books as well so this book is well loved! I often look to Victoria for inspiration as I know many of you do as well.

So sit down and enjoy a cup of tea with me on this beautiful Autumn day in the garden and after we can enjoy a stroll through the garden as it is taking on it's Autumn glory.

Today I am joining Sandi at Rose Chintz Cottage for her lovely Tea Time Tuesday and also Kathy at A Delightsome Life for her Victoria-A Return to Loveliness party.

Thank you for visiting me,

Carolyn
