A winter tea~

A busy week is behind me......just a little time to escape this morning, doing what I like best,  the flowers, photographing and having a cup of tea.......



Arranging flowers in various shades of  green..........




Old books and a tea set from a much loved elderly couple.........

  And that votive candle to make me smile...

 
And who can resist these even if just plain and simply iced.......

    A special glow ..........


 Sprinkles of fairy wishes for you from me....



 Indulge!


Just love the green flowers with the old beaten silver.... 








See you soon!
Shel

  5. What a beautiful way to treat yourself to tea. I love the dishes. Are they Royal Albert Lavender Rose? And all of the silver adds such sparkle and elegance. Cupcakes look delicious...no calories in them, I presume? ;-)
