Set Your Table With Flair--Afternoon Tea Week in the Dog Days of Summer

Hello, Friends!

I don't know about you, but I need a little reprieve.  A little bit of a distraction.  I want to think of simpler, happier, (and definitely more care-free) times.  A few months ago, I shared on my Instagram a simple teatime among the spring flowers in my garden, but I never wrote about it.  Today marks the last day of Afternoon Tea Week, so I thought this would be a perfect time to do so!  I so hope you enjoy.

Back in Spring, when the weather was wonderfully fair, my little blossoms were all a-bloom; their fragrant scent danced on the light breeze.  It was a perfect time to be outdoors and enjoy a simple teatime.

I used almost no color in the setting, which, quite honestly, I questioned then but can absolutely appreciate now because of the soothing feeling it imbues as I look back upon these photos.


A pretty topper with delicate periwinkle petals and soft greens, white, and muted beiges was the foundation of the setting.  A closeup of the detail. 


Simple white bone china for the teacup perfectly balances alongside 

the elegant lines of the fluted stand.

Closer look.  A perfect serving plate for my homemade macarons, such a light treat! 

A whimsical tea kettle completes the setting.

I adore the detail of the miniature Tea-for-Two setting on the top!  So sweet!


Completed setting under the canopy of my roses.

Another look.

Thank you for joining me in this look back, and I hope it has served as an enjoyable and peaceful lazy-day reverie.
