Tea Time

Modern life should never go so far as to give up the classics.

Garden Jewels

A little impression of summer before summer turns into fall. I'm so grateful for all the rain we're getting in Florida~ it makes everything so green!

Sitting Room With Pink Stripes

There is something therapeutic about cutting pictures out of magazines, and the colour pink.

Friendship

"Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives." C.S. Lewis

Sunrise Tea

A lovely sunrise and some strong tea are a nice way to start the day. I'm having Irish Breakfast today! Hope your day is glorious!!

Fairy Treats For A Cloudy Afternoon

The handbook for entertaining fairies: "The Girls' Book of Flower Fairies" by Frederick Warne, has the wonderful Nouveau style illustrations by Cicely Mary Barker, which were copyrighted from 1923-1948. My mother shared these same beautiful fairy illustrations with me when I was a girl, and I've loved them ever since. I love sharing it with my granddaughters. Our fairies live among the teapots ;)

Flowers Say "I Love You"

I always wanted to be an interior designer. When I finally finished decorating my house, I started making up imaginary rooms. It's a lot cheaper than redoing my house. ;)

The rose topiary in the reflection is real; i.e., it's a photograph of a real silk flower topiary about 4' high~ one of four I made for my daughter's wedding. They used so many faux roses that I cleaned out every craft shop in the area! It was a "fairy tale wedding". Lucky for me, I still have the topiaries in my house.

Rainbows In My Coffee

Time for a coffee break. . .enjoy your day!
