National Afternoon Tea Week
Teas at Linderhof
Almost every day we have tea at Linderhof
Tea and a treat, usually
In summer, however, tea is often served in a glass with ice
Because it's hot
On the prairie of Kansas
But perhaps Mother Nature knew it was National Tea Week
For we had a blissfully "cool" week, this week
Which allowed us to brew pots of tea
Teas inside and out
In the garden and on the porch
Alone (with a book)
or shared with a friend
Even Husband Jim sometimes joins me.
And all served on my beloved blue and white transfer ware
Afternoon Tea
at
Linderhof
A ritual whether it's National Tea Week or not!
But to properly end National Tea Week
A Tea Room Tea
at a Tea Room in Versailles, Missouri
Tea
And scones and sandwiches and sweets
And to start -- savories of chicken salad on croissant and a quiche
What else could you expect from someone who reveres
Afternoon Tea so much that she had to visit
Woburn Abbey
the home of the Duchess of Bedford
Who, after all, started the ritual of
Afternoon Tea!

It's Monday and I'm sharing my "National Tea Week" teas with Judith at Lavender Cottage for Mosaic Monday.

How wonderful! I didn't know there was a National Afternoon Tea Week. How have I managed this long without knowing of such a wonderful idea?
Your pictures are beautiful, and I enjoyed the ones yesterday of the brown eyed Susans. I have been to Shady Gables too. It is a lovely experience...glad to know it is still going!
How lovely and I enjoyed seeing the tea room as well!
What a good way to celebrate! I have not yet had hot tea this summer, but now that it is cooler here...Your blue transferware is lovely as are both collages.
This is a week that I could support whole-heartedly! I love my tea, always hot - and I especially like it when I share the pot with a friend.
I did not know there was a national tea week..I love tea..hot and cold..The transfer ware is pretty. Lovely mosaics! Have a happy week!
There is nothing nicer than tea served in delicate china tea cups. Yours are beautiful.
I enjoy tea as well and with little scones and tea cakes, all that much better
The blue and white transferware is lovely. You have a gorgeous home and it has been a pleasure to visit with you via Mosaic Monday. Mildred, Georgia

How did I miss National Tea Week? Oh, well. Like at Linderhof, it's always tea week around here. Fun post!
I like the mosaic showing your various teas with the blue and white china. The tearoom goodies sure look tasty, and afternoon tea occurs here everyday as well.
Thanks for linking to MM Martha.
Such fun at National afternoon tea week. I'm visiting from Mosaic Monday.
National Afternoon Tea Week is new to me, but what a fun thing to celebrate. Lovely photos and mosaics. Your transfer ware makes my blue and white loving heart beat a little faster.
