Join me on the back porch

Our porch is not large but I wanted to have a little place to escape to read, enjoy tea or lunch or just watch the birds as they come and go from the feeder.

My original thought was to find some pretty white wicker furniture. But when I found this set a few years ago, I knew it would be perfect for our little nook.

A little note about these luncheon napkins. My step-mother gave these to me, along with a matching tablecloth. The tablecloth was used til it became thread bare and badly stained, but I never used the napkins. They were a wedding gift, so they are probably considered vintage by now ;-)


Most mornings, you can find me sitting out here with my book and cup of  tea. You are always welcome to join me.

Fathers Day tea

My guy is not big fan of tea. Unless it is cold, sweet and on ice, he always prefers a big mug of coffee.

When my hubby and I traveled to Belgium one year, we visited a tea house for a spot of refreshment. Hubby ordered a Russian tea that really hit a home run with him. He had traveled to Moscow years ago and enjoyed their rich hot tea, but never was able to find it here. The tea in Belgium was a good strong Russian blend. So for today, I am honoring my hubby with a cup of Russian tea.

The handsome pocket watch belonged to my hubby's grandfather.

We bought several bags of the Russian tea.......

I hope the Fathers in your life enjoy their special day.

A fun welcome

We have a beautiful mall in our area, where just driving into the parking lot you are greeted with this fun invitation.

Pink and Green for Summer

Pink and Green is the perfect summer time color.  Grass is growing and flowers are blooming after a long winter.






 Lenox dishes and pink depression glass.  Perfect for this time of year!



For me, I can never get too much pink :-)
