I've been a bit under the weather for awhile now so it's been a long time since I came for visit. I enjoyed every last picture you shared and I loved your trip down memory lane. Your tablescapes were all so lovely but of course I fell head over heels for the "Under the Sea" one. So many wonderful memories you shared. Thank you! Now... on to the present. Your "Tea Room" is amazing!!! I spent such a long time taking in all the detail. The tiered trays are so beautiful! I will be back tomorrow as I missed your fairy garden post. I have not even started on mine. So incredibly behind this year. Loved this visit, thank you again, and have a wonderful week!Denise/My Home of All Seasonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08031825182127977422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539942105680988988.post-53280242267932830282022-05-23T22:49:52.272-04:002022-05-23T22:49:52.272-04:00PJ,

Yes, we all have different styles and interests in decorating our homes. We should do what we feel comfortable with and it's obvious you love your Victorian style. I can just imagine a nurse coming home after a long shift and finding a haven in her home. We put new flooring in our entire house a few years ago and that project led me to get rid of things. I'm not a collector of anything specific, but I now find peace with less stuff around. It's interesting to me how that happened, so I can relate to what you said. Plus, it's less for my kids to deal with when I'm gone. :) Have a good day. PS I'm a bit jealous of the phlox in your yard. It's so pretty.PJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11774276678820916744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539942105680988988.post-35252287293827176492022-05-21T13:39:54.784-04:002022-05-21T13:39:54.784-04:00Oh, I loved seeing and hearing about your memories...Oh, I loved seeing and hearing about your memories!

I want to say your Tea Room looks wonderful! Fantastic! My husband has his tea every afternoon, cucumber sandwiches also. Earl Grey, I have to have cream and sugar in mine, his is just lemon. Eloquently put how you feel about your home. I love my home but I do like to hit the country roads and see nothing but pastures with horses, old barns and cows. I like Victorian, Queen Anne and Tudar with a little British Colonial thrown in.

I have memories of some ...I love this post so much! I have memories of some wonderful tea parties, my very favorites were the themed teas at Sweet Shalom Tea Room in Maumee, Ohio, about an hour and forty-five minutes from my house. I would gather friends and family to fill a table and they never disappointed. They would have a single themed menu for the month of the most elegant and gourmet tea treats to stuff yourself (I became good at eyeballing the menu and deciding what would travel well and what to take home for the next day) and would have an activity to match the tea. Pampering tea, hand massages, Harvest Tea, a history of Thanksgiving presentation, Mother's Day, poetry readings. I can't remember them all! Unfortunately they closed in May of 2021 and, unknown to us, we had booked a table at the very last tea party. <br /><br />Your church Harvest Teas are stupendous! I would have so enjoyed those and I am sure I would have done a table or two myself! My confirmation class organized a small Mother's Day Tea one year (nothing on this grand scale) and for a few years a "partner in crime" and I organized an extravaganza of simple desserts, teas and a fashion show once a year. Our first year was Wedding Dresses. I had 3 in my closet (mom's, mine, sister-law) and figured we could gather a nice number. Well, it exploded and we had at least 50 or more dresses. It was a challenge finding models since brides in the 30's, 40's and 50's were so tiny. My high school volleyball players couldn't squeeze in! The skinny girls changed several times and we actually pulled 10-12 year olds out of the audience. The second favorite was the year we did First Communion dresses. We also did aprons and hats and I don't know what else. Then my friend dropped something on her kitchen floor and bumped her head under the table. She didn't know it, but it caused a small brain bleed. After a few months her family noticed changes and it ended up she had progressive brain damage. It is a sad story and I could not go on without her, especially since that was the year my dad had a stroke, too. <br /> <br />I have thought about decorating my dining room as a tea room. Great minds think alike! I am going to wait until the toddler grandchildren get just a little bigger. Mine will be a little more country than Victorian and I plan to leave it like that year round! You have the best ideas and treasures!! And I still giggle at "Tea and Toast", so much better than the "snack set" we always called them. I can't wait to have an occasion to use my collection and call them Tea and Toast. Miss Merryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691152819794851137noreply@blogger.com
