~Summer Lavender Tea~

Hello everyone, 

How's your week going?  My week has been busy. I've been entertaining my 12 year old granddaughter. Or has she been entertaining me? Lol... We've shopped for cute clothes, canned apricots, and photographed this post. This morning we set this table and then I set the tripod up and gave her a few pointers on what I wanted to post for this tea time tablescape. I'm so amazed at the photos she captured.

When we had our Garden Tour in May  HERE, sweetheart and I purchased a new glass patio table and five chairs.  It has a lazy susan in the center of the table. We love it. We've had an eight foot long rectangle picnic table for over 35 years in the patio. It was time for a new one and move the old one to our other patio. 

I harvested one lavender bush last week and I've dried it in a cool, dry place. I sorted the lavender and cut the stems 18" inches long and placed them in this white basket. I think Beth captured the essence of the lavender blooms with this close-up.

I have five small bushes still to harvest. We walked to the garden and I harvested three bushes. I handed the fresh lavender to Beth and she put the lavender into this white pitcher and Ta Da! A beautiful fresh lavender arrangement. 

Butterflies and Lavender are the perfect representation of Summer.

I found the butterfly placemats at the thrift shop for ½ price. The flatware is vintage from my mother's estate.

Beth and I set the tea table and I asked her if we needed glasses. She went to the china cabinet and selected four glasses from my mother's estate to finish the Summer Lavender Tea Table. 

While at the ½ off sale at the thrift store I found the four vintage porcelain napkin rings. 

My tea set has only two tea cups, so I'm using two Butterfly Meadow mugs to set a table for four.

It's amazing how the placemats match the dinnerware. 

The yellow and black butterfly is so dainty on the tea cup. 

I love the smell of lavender and the vision of Provence, France.

I'm so blessed to have six wonderful granddaughters...

So eager to learn and create.

Thank you for visiting and thank you for your wonderful comments and complements.
Joyously,
Betty
