Hello everyone, It was a beautiful day here today and I finally had time for tea in the garden. This little enclosed garden is my favorite part of the garden in the spring so what better place to enjoy a relaxing tea and enjoy the song of the birds and the beauty of nature all around us. I picked another big bouquet of lilacs and am using blue and white transferware. Martha (the statue) is an elegant addition to this space and the mirror behind her adds interest and reflects the garden. It is shaded by the trees so the sun doesn't shine on it ( a fire hazard). Spode teacups The lilacs are so beautiful now but the first of my peonies have started to bloom as the garden is progressing quickly ~ such a beautiful time of the year! Take care, Carolyn
