Sometimes it is just great to set apart a special time for oneself... a quiet time on a cloudy, cool May day to enjoy life's sweet pleasures and reflect... SO I shared a time with myself devoted to beauty and solitude...
Part of the fun of celebrating life with oneself is in the planning , yet the effortless way such a time can unfold...a garden party for one was imagined yesterday as I was enjoying the" blues" of the season.
the majesty of the blossoms unfurled..
a simple luncheon of cucumber sandwiches and fruit, actually the tangible food was really an after thought, for the real food was the spirit lifting loveliness of the occasion!
The tea was my newest infusion of green and white tea which I am using for its health benefits for energy and slacking the appetite. I found it at Fresh Market and it really is quite tasty..
and the more delicious enjoyed from my beautiful Royal Albert Flower of the Month Series cup depicting beautiful For-get-me nots!
a very contemplative teatime
to be thankful for wonderful family and friends and all the blessings of life!
And to enjoy the loveliness of simplicity and good cheer!
even on a "blue" and threatening day!
I was so fortunate to find this beautiful. remnant of fabric at Joanne's yesterday morning for quite a song!!!

Ruth's Thursday Tea talk

1. I'm having...Infusion of green and white tea
2. I'm feeling....blessed and loved
3. On my mind....wishing everyday could unfold as wonderfully sweet as this day
4. “I am sure it is a great mistake always to know enough to go in when it rains. One may keep snug and dry by such knowledge, but one misses a world of loveliness.”
