    A serene picture to wake up to! It conjures up a moment of peace, a break in the day, and a brief time of contemplation.

    I’m an inveterate tea drinker so appreciate the well chosen accessories—as pretty as a still life! Maybe a new possibility for your photos.

    Very civilised – and pretty. I’m a tea bag in a mug kind of girl- but could imagine sitting in the garden with a tea pot cup and saucer and really savouring the tea moment!

      Thanks, Caryl. 🙂 The cup was a gift and it has raised the bar of my tea time. 🙂 It becomes a special time of the day to sit back and savor all the good things and beauty of my surroundings.

    I love black tea, but always have (soya) milk in it. What kind do you drink Eliza? Earl Grey? Darjeeling? 😉 And is your doily homemade? Have a lovely Sunday!

      Thanks, Cathy! A wet day today, so it will be restful. I use honey only in my tea and you guessed right, Earl Grey is my favorite, but I switch to jasmine green in the summer.

      The doily is vintage handwork, from a yard sale. 🙂

    Tranquility… with nature images never far away…but: no cookie crumbs?

    There is nothing like a cup of hot tea. Do all gardeners have dishes with nature pictures on them?

    Your lovely photo made me smile…I do this once a month, get out my fine china, a pretty paper napkin and buy a treat to enjoy (Earl Grey shortbread cookies) while sipping a special tea and gazing at the view. I’ll have to post a tea time photo next month, Eliza!

    Let’s hope the butterfly on the inside of the cup didn’t drown.
