Spring Tea


Welcome, spring!
It feels wonderful to "smell" spring in the air!
No more lake effect snow advisory.
No more icy roads and hazardous road conditions.
No more removing snow from rooftops!
Yes, it's that time of the year again, when we celebrate 

Spring:


The weather is finally warming up. All the snow has melted, and I can finally get to see green grass in my yard. It feels wonderful to be puttering around in my backyard.
I have spring fever!


St Patrick's Day is just around the corner.
Trees are blooming again, and  birds are singing.
Everything in nature is green and lively once again! 
That means it's time to celebrate the arrival of this new season!
Spring is in the air and I am celebrating with a cup of Irish breakfast tea.



Two of my my favorite black tea flavors:
 Earl Grey and Irish breakfast tea.


The tea box is a pretty way to store the different variety of tea bags.


I love drinking tea! 
Although, I love the aroma of good coffee, I prefer drinking tea!


Especially, in a delicate bone china tea cup




Love the scroll pattern of this Royal Chelsea bone china cup and saucer


Sugar cubes in a pretty little green bowl


For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day.

Wishing everyone a very Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

A Spring Tea Tray Vignette


Hello, friends!
Have you been enjoying the beautiful spring weather?
I love the earthy smell of spring! Signs of springs are every where in my yard. The apples trees and the dapples willows in the backyard are beginning to show signs of budding. In a few weeks time, the bare leafless branches will be overflowing with lush greenery. I am looking forward to the fragrant apple blossoms and bringing them inside to enjoy their beauty indoors as well.



Today, I am sharing a tea tray vignette I put together that reminds me of the beautiful spring weather surrounding us at this time of the year:


Spring is here.
Spring is here.
How do you think I know?


I just saw a little white bird.
That is how I know.


The merry birds on twig and branch
Trill out the news with fluttering wings,

While Robin seeks the early fruit,
Impatient watching the green shoot,
And the glad tidings gaily sings. ~Mary Dow Brine.


April showers bring May flowers,
That what they say. 
But if all the showers turned to flowers,
We'd have quite a colorful day!


You'd see tiger lilies and water lilies,
Carnations pink and blue,
Forget-me-nots and small sundrops 
Glistening with the dew.



And if all the showers turned to flowers
On that rainy April day,
Would all the flowers turn to showers
In the sunny month of May?~ Karen Chappell


The Spring Song~Robert Louis Stevenson
The air was full of sun and birds,
The fresh air sparkled clearly.

Remembrance wakened in my heart 
And I knew I loved her dearly.

The fallows and the leafless trees
And all my spirit tingled.

My earliest thought of love, and Spring's 
First puff of perfume mingled.



I love the romantic ambiance created by these moss-wrapped candle votives. It reminds me of taking a long walk down a moss-covered garden path.

For the moss-wrapped candle votives, I simply hot-glued green sheet moss from the craft store  around clear glass votives and trimmed the excess moss from the top and bottom.

 After that, I wrapped some burlap twine around each votive and inserted mini terracotta clay pots inside the glass votives to hold the candles.



I love using pretty, dainty tea cups like this for tea time and brunches in spring and summer.


Pretty gold detailing all around the rim of this beautiful footed tea cup.


Happy Spring!


Thanks for stopping by today!
