Tea Time in the Gazebo . . .

Welcome to tea in the gazebo.
We just got the gazebo ready for summer; our summer is late here. We have had so much rain in the month of June. We enjoy having our morning coffee in the gazebo, and how about an afternoon tea party? Come and join us . . . 

Here's the before and after

I bought 2 of the pillows and made new covers for the cushions and other pillows with Waverly coordinating fabrics. The pillows and covers are reversible, with different fabrics for a different look.

On the coffee table, an inherited vintage table runner with a pretty embroidered basket on each end; also has matching napkins which are on the backs of the chairs and loveseat, china teacups, Franciscan Desert Rose teapot, and antique milk bottle holder . . .

A great find in Idaho while antique shopping ~ the cutest shabby chic milk bottle holder that holds 6 half pint milk bottles ~ it came without the milk bottles; but, unbelievably we were able to find all 6 while shopping in Idaho, finding 5 at one estate sale. It is one of my favorite finds!

[I will be blogging in the next few weeks about shopping in eastern Washington and Idaho and some of the great finds we found.]

 

 

An antique wood table in the corner, painted white, with a beautiful vintage hankie for a doily and a vase of David Austin roses from the garden. 

 Second end table is an antique half table, painted butter yellow, topped with one of the vintage napkins and a thrift find silver tea set.

 

Thanks for joining our tea party.
