Summertime breakfast enjoyed outdoors is heavenly and on this lovely, perfect summer morning a breakfast table set for two was laid…
Ready for a friend to visit and a morning tête a tête as soft breezes whisper through shady overhead branches…
Lord, grant that our time together be steeped in serenity, sweetened by sharing, and surrounded by the warm fragrance of your love. Amen.
A Teatime Blessing ~ If Teacups Could Talk, Emilie Barnes
We settle in for a nice breakfast warmed by the summer sun complete with fresh cranberry biscotti and a chocolate croissant
to share. German wine glasses provide cool water while hot tea (just one cup, please!) and a small prayer warm the soul.
A bit of a European breakfast, really! 😉
A mid-century rose-strewn tablecloth begins the scene for this rosy tea. Goldenrod placemats are laid next reminding us of summertime harvests coming soon.
English pink transferware plates act as chargers and repeat the deep pink of the tablecloth’s roses.
Vining Limoges luncheon plates are last to be set on this summery table and another chair is pulled up in case another friend shows. This chair adds it’s warm wicker beauty to the day…
English Breakfast tea is served in mismatched teacups; a silver spoon rests casually alongside. Simple napkins with pink checked edging are older Simply Shabby Chic ~ large enough to cover one’s lap and dainty enough for this casual breakfast.
Previously two visitors came for their own tasty treats…

Late this week my mother-in-love is coming for a visit with my father-in-law. This table setting may just well appear again for my tea drinking family!
