A wonderful sunny Tuesday to enjoy a cup of Tea in the Garden...

Good afternoon & thank you for stopping in for a visit!









Today I am having Tea on the deck at the back of our house and I am featuring some of my red transferware from England maker Adams (member of the Wedgewood Group) and pattern English Scenic






I love vintage linens and this tea cloth I am using is a crisp white with soft pink roses done in needlework..






















You may have noticed in my older posts I like to use faux pastries and these little cakes are actually placecard holders! Much less risk of me having a nibble.. ; )









Pink depression glass is also another favorite of mine and these are two of my candle stick collection.




Please check out Martha@marthasfavorites.com Tea Time Tuesday! And Sandi@rosechintzcottage for Tea Time Tuesday!


Have a wonderful week and remember "Life is a Gift..untie the Ribbons.."





Hugs..Wanda

  2. Hi Wanda! This is all so pretty! The tea cloth with the stitched roses really caught my eye. It's exactly the kind of thing I love like crazy! I'm so glad you got a close up of it so I could see it better. It's just the perfect thing for your red transferware, isn't it! Jacqueline

  3. Hi Wanda,
    Your tea is just lovely! I adore red transferware and I like to collect it myself. Love your use of the faux pastries; they are very cute! Your table cloth is gorgeous and looks so nice with your teascape. I also like pink depression glass but I don't have even one piece yet which I hope to remedy over the summer.Thank you so much for joining me for Tea Time Tuesday! I have added your link and I will be putting my post up in a little while. Hope you have a wonderful day.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  14. Your tea on the deck table setting is so pretty. The transferware is beautiful and so is the pink depression glass. I really like your tablecloth. Maybe I can convince my husband to branch out from his cross-stitch and make some table linens for me. ;-)
