THEN YOU CAN ALSO BRING PEACE TO OTHERS.

Spring tea time




Today we are have tea.  I have only just started getting into doing tablescapes, so I do not have a huge supply of china.  I have been slowly trying to collect some pieces, but it is going slowly, then a light went on, duh, this is a set I have had for years but never use.  It has been sitting in a closet never thought of.  I hauled this set with me from South Africa.  I have had it for about 20 years.
It is really pretty.  That is actually a coffee pot, we did use the tea pot and somewhere between all of our relocating it got lost, so I am using the coffee pot as a tea pot.  The light is a little bad, we have had some really grey gloomy days, and I must also admit, I am new at this photography thing to.










A few cookies are always a must for tea time!  These were so pretty.
                        


Some lemon slices for the tea, and some strawberries for color.
                                 



And the beautiful carnations in a pitcher I found at the Salvation Army Store just finish the entire picture.
