Blue and White Coastal Tea

By // No comments:

Hello everyone,

I am going to guess you didn't expect me
to be back so soon as I have been negligent
for awhile now about posting.
I am using an iphone for these photos and
have found it so much easier to post with it.
Not sure if the quality is as good  but it seems
ok to me.



I was planning to have friends for tea this
afternoon but it was a wild and wet day here
so I postponed to next week.
Yesterday I set the table for it and yes
I am still somewhat summery here but
maybe by next week I will be in a
fall mood.
Since shades of blue and white are
my theme here at the cottage it was
easy to go with that theme for tea time.
Some antique china

                                                      I love the enamalware tea set that I got
                                                      at the 70 mile coastal yardsale last year.

The tablecloth and napkins are by
Tommy Hilfiger.

The scene out the window was much more
peaceful yesterday then today as we had
big waves with whitecaps.



                                                            Well, I hope you enjoyed my tea that
                                                             never was!
                                                             Hopefully, we have better luck getting
                                                              together next week but we  really did need
                                                              the rain here as it was a very dry summer.

                                                               Back home in the garden we had a very heavy frost
                                                              a couple of nights ago so the season will soon be
                                                              coming to an end.

                                                                                     Thank you for visiting!

Touches of Blue & White

         Hello everyone,

I hope your week is going well. We are just
finishing up our outdoor chores here this week.
Our temperatures have cooled and we know winter
will soon be on it's way.

We drained the pipes at our Ocean Song Cottage
last week so from now until spring it will be
shorter visits with the woodstove going
and a thermos of tea to enjoy in my
coastal enamalware mugs!



                                                                I am enjoying adding little
                                                                touches of blue and white.



                                                        I was happy to find these handmade
                                                        cross stitch lighthouse pictures at the
                                                        thrift store recently for the cottage.
                                                                 Recently,I enjoyed a humble lunch
                                                                 at the cottage with friends on a
                                                                 beautiful sunny fall day.



                                               Well, my focus is changing here now as
                                                          our home is on a Christmas House Tour
                                                          on December 9th so it will be full steam
                                                          ahead with decorating for Christmas!
                                                            I will share more info on the tour as soon
                                                          as I get more. It is a fundraiser for a
                                                          good cause and there will be other homes
                                                          on the tour as well. I love Christmas house
                                                          tours don't you?

                                                                   Thank you for stopping by!
