Music to go with this Irish themed tea :)
Today, March 18th, I had an opportunity to have tea in the garden with Miss Olivia Rose. I finally got to have that Irish tea I had been longing for (Twinings Irish Breakfast, Irish soda bread with raisins, & Kerrygold butter).
We walked around the garden and commented on what we saw, taking in lovely fragrances, and noting on how awesome God is
to create such wonder.
Max kept a close eye on us,
as well as the birdies,
and really anything that rustled, moved, or made a noise.
Tea for two (Navel or Valencia oranges... I forget which tree is which)

My newly arrived teacup & saucer &
some fun stationary.
saucer states: Bavaria Schumann Arzberg Germany
Pattern is Florida. However, since Californians also
grow lots of citrus, I fell in love with this set.
Note that the saucer is #39...
while the cup is #40. Interesting.

I also ordered this sweet "lemons in a teacup" pillow. It was only
$12 since it is a sample she was trying to clear out.
(my lemon tree is a bit scraggly!)
Olivia's cup & saucer are Duchess fine bone china, made in England. No pattern name is mentioned, but it features oranges, lemons, raspberries & a pear.
