In the post this morning
was my favorite magazine
I've been a subscriber for a long time
And before that, I would buy copies at Border's in the city.
I love the interiors
And many of the homes are near where we lived that Spring in the Cotswolds.
A new magazines
Especially a favorite magazine
is to be savored!
And so,
What better to sit and savor a magazine with --
Than a cup of tea.
A blueberry tea bought on a trip to Maine.
There's not much left
But I'm yearning for Spring
No cinnamon tea -- I want something springy!
And in the breakfast room
Amid the fragrance of the finally blooming paperwhites,
two of my favorite pleasures
Tea and English Home
Not just any cup for this special tea
The Spode Camilla one with the gold rim
And since it's a loose tea,
a much loved (but still sterling) tea strainer
And since this is a celebratory tea
The silver pot!
A sunny day
A good cup of tea
And the magazine . . .
This month's is especially good
Lots of great homes featured
That have that wonderful English style
That I so adore
It's Thursday and I'm joining Susan at Between Naps On the Porch for Tablescape Thursday. And this has to be the most minimal tablescape ever posted!

I subscribe to Country Living UK and love it. I have to convert the metric measurements for recipes but that's okay. Enjoy!!
Your tablescape is anything but minimal with that beautiful Spode cup, your silver tea pot and strainer! Simply gorgeous! Blueberry tea from Maine sounds delicious, too, and the perfect companion for a favorite periodical.
Like you, I absolutely adore "English Home". It is the one magazine I cannot wait to read. I think it has to do with the fact that the interiors are so quintessentially English and traditional for the most part. But I love to read the ads for properties as well and for furnishings. It is top drawer.
Visiting from Susan's party.
