Photobucket is holding all my photos from 2007-2015 hostage and they have blacked them all out. I’m slowly working at restoring my posts without their help. Such a tiresome bother!
“American-style iced tea is the perfect drink for a hot, sunny day. It’s never really caught on in the UK, probably because the last time we had a hot, sunny day was back in 1957.”

So pretty, Ellen. Tell me; do you have a tea party every week? You post so many pictures of beautiful tea settings!
So pretty! I love the little paper doily wrapped teabag favor. What a great idea!
Love the bookshelves in the background, too. :>
I also love that teabag cozy. I may have to honor you by copying it! Great post!!
Ellen, I love your style! It was such fun looking at your beautiful tea table! My first thought was — ‘Oh, the tablecloth!’. It goes with your Johnson Brothers china so well. Elegant, inviting, soothing, welcoming — everything is simply charming and oh so pretty! I love the little tea bag holder — and the pretty napkin ring.
Tipping my teacup to you! Great job!
What a lovely post. You have so many pretty things. I love the napkin and napkin rings. Your dishes are very beautiful as well as those special little teabag holders. Did you make them? So pretty.
This setting takes my breath away….it’s so pretty. I think I’ll sit down with you and your bloggin’ friends and have a spot of Earl Grey please!!!
Hi Ellen,
That’s simply gorgeous. I love how your tablecloth sets everything off!!! 🙂
Your Johnson Bros dishes made me re-think my decision of not purchasing the JB plates at a shop yesterday…
Very pretty! I love the colors!
Also, I noticed the nice secretary in the background!!!! 🙂
Just lovely! I love the blue and white patterns.
Oh, my goodness, everything is absolutely charming, Ellen. The colors, the china, linens, the room…all beautiful. I LOVE the tea bag cozy. I might just have to borrow that lovely idea! Such a great post!…Kathy

Oh my! May I come?
Those pastries look amazing!
