Welcome to my cottage tea.
It’s such a glorious time of year…
with the sun streaming through the branches…
…and casting dancing shadows.
Which cup would you prefer?
Sit back and relax.
Sometimes those quiet moments are the best.
A time to collect our thoughts…
…before setting out for the remainder of our day.
I enjoy the mix of cottage style pottery and china to create just the right atmosphere.
Hope you have a pleasant day.
This tea is taking place in my back yard. To see more photos click here.

A sweet good morning from Frog Hollow Farm! What a lovely tea - and the background sounds were just perfect. Like you, I love collecting and mixing different types of china and pottery. It's always so interesting to me to find that so many of my pieces work together! As always I am walking away with inspiration and ideas - loved the little plant stands surrounding your bench - and the bench pillows! Ciao, bella!
You must enjoy many moments in your garden. Lovely spot for a spot of tea any time. Beautiful grouping of china.
Pleased you had a moment to stop in for tea with Wanda and I.
Blessings,
Pam
PS Hope to join you on Sunday
Oh, how I wish I were right there sitting on that wicker setee sipping tea from any one of those darling tea cups. This is my idea of a relaxed morning. Every detail is beautifully presented. Dreamy teascape! ~ Sarah

It looks like a very relaxing tea in the sun-dappled shade! Beautiful! The tea spoons with tea pots on the handles are darling!

A very sweet and relaxing post. I would love to curl up in a corner of that sun dappled wicker love-seat with a cup of tea. You chintz teapot is lovely and I think I have plates to match your covered dish running around here somewhere. Take care.
What a lovely tea and outdoor setting. I just love your tea ware. It brought a smile to me. Thanks for sharing.
Have a wonderful week, Theresa

I love to make a cup of tea first thing in the morning and sit on the porch enjoying the sunrise, the birds singing and the bees buzzing!

Beautiful tea table and back yard! The tea cup with the little vine on the inside lip is the one that I would love to have tea in!
This is a delightful post, Miss Tablescaper! And I would love to be there having tea with you!

I adore your Cottage Tea! I will be right over to take the time to relax and have a cup of Tea. I love the china!!! The Teapot! The wicker garden setting! What a lovely way to spend time outdoors with a cup of Tea. Thank you for sharing your Teas with me on Tea Time Tuesday. I hope when I better to join you on a Sunday. I just love all your China!
You have really a good eye for combining patterns. That looks so charming with the garden backdrop.
Greetings, Johanna
it doesn't get any sweeter then this... loved the sound effects too, i think you will be hard pressed to move me out of your garden now...
and that teapot spoon, i am on a mission now~
What a lovely setting for a sip of tea.
Teacups are so pretty. I am a fabric-holic & always drawn to the pastel florals. My mother's floral china of the 40's appeals to me so much more today that my own. Thank you for a very pleasant visit.

Such an adorable teascape. I'd like to have tea in one of those beautiful footed teacups. All of these pieces are pretty, especially the covered dish.
All the Best,
Requi
I'm there enjoying a relaxing spot of tea. Thanks for making it possible.
Your garden is lovely, and your cottage tea looks charming. The linens you use are always perfect for whatever mood you're creating. Nicely done!
Darling I truly enjoyed taking tea at your cottage. I love the chintz teapot and the mis-match china, gorgeous, simply gorgeous.
