Gorgeous Weather, Blooming Peach Tree Branches in vases, Cherry Plates, and some delicious pie on sale at Target all called for an afternoon tea party. This tablecloth was a clearance find at a Target as well but from the end of last season. Man, I like collecting stuff. The dishes were not mine, but maybe someday will be my inheritance, hee hee.
In the name of gardening, some branches must be pruned away- but their beauty cannot go to waste!
This is the vase from my bedroom I brought down for the day. I acquired it from a church yard sale.
Gorgeous!
I began setting the table with hand-sewn pot-holders and set an array of teas on a plate. The plate stand came from a store just this week and was half off. Oooh lala!
There are random containers of these branches all over the house.
The peach-raspberry pie was amazing as was the strawberry shortcake. I wash it down (and the cookies) with about 5 glasses of tea, so I expect a lot of bathroom breaks tonight.
I finally acquired a copy of the long-sought Herb Book by John Lust. I even got it for free! Major score. The herbs have begun springing in the yard yet not so many of my new seeds. I think I should have obeyed the package and waited til April/May to plant them, but I was so anxious in March. Oh well. Something is doing very well, but I neglected to label them so I have no idea what it is. At least my beans are doing well!
I'm about to transplant some spearmint from the ground into a pot to start an indoor garden. I also bought more seeds today but I'm waiting to plant them. At least the Herb Fest is right around the corner and I hope to buy lots of things!
