A Peter Rabbit Tea Party

~ Spring, Tea On Tuesdays

Hello sweet friends. I am so happy you have joined me for Tea on Tuesday!

“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: But a broken spirit drieth the bones.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭17‬:‭22‬ ‭

All three of my grandchildren love books and always enjoy someone reading to them. The oldest, EM (almost seven) has become an excellent reader and now reads to her younger sister and brother. When both girls were very little, I began reading Beatrix Potter to them. The girls and I are fans of Beatrix Potter’s “The Tale of Peter Rabbit” written in 1902. I have read Peter Rabbit to my two granddaughters more times than I can count. We love watching the short videos on YouTube of Beatrix Potter – The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends. I enjoy them as much as EM and EK. READ MORE

Springtime Tea In The Sunshine Cottage

~ Spring, Sunshine Cottage, Tablescapes, Tea On Tuesdays

Hello sweet friends. Spring is filling our northeast Alabama Appalachian Foothills with amazing beauty! With a freeze this morning, and predictions of below freezing temps tonight, some of the more delicate blooms and buds may suffer. We can only wait and see!

“The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.” ‭‭Song of Solomon‬ ‭2‬:‭12‬ ‭

I am so glad you have joined me for our Tea On Tuesdays! You might have noticed that it is only the second Tuesday of March and we designated our teatime for the third Tuesday of each month. We had a scheduling conflict with a Spring Blog Hop, but isn’t any Tuesday a great time for tea and conversation?! You will definitely want to be back next Tuesday when all three of us will be sharing Spring/Easter tablescapes. READ MORE

Happy Tuesday dear friends. I am always thankful that you have chosen to join me here!

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.””
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭91:1-2‬

Today is a spring prelude in the Sunshine Cottage!

Blooming trees and shrubs begin to dot our Appalachian Foothills during the month of February…forsythia, Japanese quince, Japanese Magnolia (tulip tree), and more. Bulbs begin to push up from the winter ground as spring begins to arrive in the Deep South.READ MORE
