~ Enjoying Tea on the Patio ~

Mother crocheted this fabulous tablecloth many years ago. The birds singing their sweet songs seem to lure the children into dancing.
As I sat the table for tea, the day was gorgeous. Early morning sun danced it's way across the table, slight breezes were blowing, what better way to spend a day than having tea on the patio.

I've had the tea set for many years, I recall purchasing it from Cracker Barrel. I haven't stopped in a Cracker Barrel for years, they use to have a great gift line.
Beautiful Maiden Hair Fern rests gracefully in the metal tiered tray.
Let's put the garden tools up for a while, relax and enjoy the day.
Elegant handles .
I love the delicate painted roses. Many years ago I used to have a bedroom decorated with a rose pattern this reminds me of the border in that room.

Oh, Lynne, what a lovely tea setting! The tea set is so pretty and Cracker Barrel still sells pretty things. The crocheted tablecloth is so pretty! Being a crocheter myself, I very much appreciate the love and work that goes into something like this.
What a beautiful day to have tea on the patio.
Be a sweetie,

The tea set is so pretty, as is the tablecloth. I've only been in cracker barrel once and they had some nice things. I would love to have tea with you on the patio. But it is so beautiful at your place I might not want to leave. lol.

Your tablecloth is so pretty. How wonderful to be the keeper of a wonderful piece made by your mom. Your roses on the tea set are so pretty. Love the set. CB still has a good gift selection. I don't go in often, our CB has horrid service.. but love to browse when we do. The centerpiece looks just perfect with the roses.. have a gorgeous week. xo marlis

You've created such a deliciously beautiful garden setting with your gorgeous row tea set and your mother's crochet cloth....a true treasure. The children figurines frolicking in the background are the perfect touch. Thanks for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay
