Hello everyone, Today, I thought it would be a good day for tea in the sunroom. There is something so fresh about an all white setting,don't you think? As always, I am keeping it simple. All white china and a hint of lace. The Annebelle hydrangeas make great bouquets. White linens and lace. Sugar cookies are always good with a cup of tea. Sweet teapot. Lemon for your tea? It was lovely to have you stop by for afternoon tea! I am joining BNOTP for Tablescape Thursday. Don't forget our "Open Garden" tonight if you are interested between 6 and 8 pm. Now, I better go out and do some deadheading in the garden. Wishing you a wonderful day! Carolyn

Last year, for my birthday, I received a very special gift. My friend and former coworker Erin Ulrick - a talented designer - made me a lamp based on a design that I had seen online at Anthropologie's website. It was a lamp made from a collection of tea cups, saucers and a teapot. Since the lamp was not in stock at the store where I worked, and could not be shipped from the website, Erin adapted the design by using dinnerware she purchased from Anthropologie (From The Deep Dinnerware) and made the lamp herself! I was so impressed with the result. Just yesterday I purchased the lampshade - also from Anthropologie - and put the lamp on a small desk in my kitchen nook where I keep a lot of my files. The cup-and-saucer theme fits perfectly into the kitchen and I love the blue and white motifs. A friend called it "Nouveau Victorian - in a good way." I wholeheartedly agree! Here are Erin's instructions on how to make the lamp, for all you do-it-yourselfers: Drill a hole through the exact center of everything using a carbide tipped arrow head drill bit. (Be prepared to go through about 6 to 8 of these.) To keep the bit cool while drilling you should keep a small cup nearby filled with about a half an inch of cold water. You can dip the tip into the water occasionally to cool it down. Don't push too hard, let the bit do the work. If you rush, the china may break. This step is extremely time consuming so be patient. Lamp parts are available at most hardware stores. You can buy a kit with all the parts you're going to need. It will come with a cord, socket, harp and threaded tube. Follow the instructions on the lamp kit on how to put the basic pieces together. Insert the tube through the drilled china starting at the top. When everythings in the spot you want put a washed and nut on the bottom to hold it all together. Now moving on to your electrical lesson! You have to leave the harp and the light socket attatched to the china but remove the top section of the switch and access the terminal screws. (Terminal screws are the little ones on each side of the switch.) Now thread the electrical cord through the tube. Split the cord about an inch to an inch and a half and tie a knot in it. (You tie the knot so you can't disconnect the cord.) Strip approximately 3/4 of an inch of the insulation of the cord exposing the bare wires. Make a loop in the end of the bare wires and attatch it to the light bulb socket in a clock wise direction. Push the upper section of the light socket onto the base section. Screw in a light bulb, plug it in and BEHOLD! This lamp from Anthropologie was the inspiration for Erin's design. She used plates, cups and saucers that she purchased at Anthropologie to make her own unique version of it for me. The teapot was purchased at a garage sale. I treasure this creation.

Hello everyone, I hope you will join me for tea today at my favorite tea room. It is in Mt. Dora,Florida where we spent a couple of days on our trip south. It was the first place we headed for when we rented our car. It is called The Garden Gate tearoom. I think it has romance and shabby chic down pat. Every time we have gone to Florida we went for lunch here. Not only does the setting delight me but the food is amazing too. Love how the mirror is decorated over the mantle and even the chair get a romantic touch. There are several vintage and antique dresses on display. A table of hats if you want to borrow one. Everywhere you look inside there are treasures to enjoy. Are you smitten yet? Lots of pretty teapots. Lots of pretty tea cups as well. Come on in and join me for tea! As pretty as it is inside,the weather was perfect and the garden area charming so that is where we choose to sit. I smiled at a couple of ladies stopping to tell me I was a real southern gal. I told them I was from Canada but they didn't hold that against me.(ha! ha!) said there was a little southern in us all! I do love that southern hospitality! Later we enjoyed this lovely sunset from our front porch at the Lakeside Inn.....life is good!!!! Thank you for joining me today. Carolyn
31 “If I were to testify on my own behalf, my testimony would not be valid. 32 But someone else is also testifying about me, and I assure you that everything he says about me is true. 33 In fact, you sent investigators to listen to John the Baptist, and his testimony about me was true. 34 Of course, I have no need of human witnesses, but I say these things so you might be saved. 35 John was like a burning and shining lamp, and you were excited for a while about his message. 36 But I have a greater witness than John—my teachings and my miracles. The Father gave me these works to accomplish, and they prove that he sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me has testified about me himself. You have never heard his voice or seen him face to face, 38 and you do not have his message in your hearts, because you do not believe me—the one he sent to you. You know the prophet is real if what he says comes true. If the prophet speaks in the Lord’s name but his prediction does not happen or come true, you will know that the Lord did not give that message. That prophet has spoken without my authority and need not be feared. Deuteronomy 18:22 39 “You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me! 40 Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this life. 41 “Your approval means nothing to me, 42 because I know you don’t have God’s love within you. 43 For I have come to you in my Father’s name, and you have rejected me. Yet if others come in their own name, you gladly welcome them. 44 No wonder you can’t believe! For you gladly honor each other, but you don’t care about the honor that comes from the one who alone is God.[e] 45 “Yet it isn’t I who will accuse you before the Father. Moses will accuse you! Yes, Moses, in whom you put your hopes. 46 If you really believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me. 47 But since you don’t believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?” John 5:31-47 The Lord picks from among us the prophet he chooses. I bear witness to the Lord writing His words on this blog.
