A St. Patrick's Day Tea

 
With St. Patrick's Day just a little over a week away, it seemed like the perfect time to use my Julia's Clover Garden tea set. I love the delicate pattern and thought you would enjoy it too, so I set up a spot for you to enjoy some tea today. Won't you sit down?


 
May I pour you a cup of tea?
 
 
Do you prefer cream with your tea?
 
 
Or perhaps a little sugar? I even tinted it green in honor of St. Patrick's Day.
 
 
How about some of these nice cookies I made for you? They are quite yummy if I do say so!
 
 
Go on, I won't tell anyone if you want more than one!
 
 
See if you can find a four leaf clover for good luck!
 
 
Maybe you will enjoy these pretty flowers before you go.....
 
 
 
Hope you enjoyed your visit as much as I enjoyed having you. Please come again!

Oh my Shannon!... What a sweet tea post celebrating St. Paddy's day. I love the soft pink flowers and ribbons and the soft hues of the light green and creamy pearl-escent, sugar pearls on the cookies, along with the Sweet Clover, Shamrock-esque motif on the china...All is sweetly inviting, oh-so-pretty, utterly soft and charming.

Love your blog!

Cheers, blessings and hugs from Wanda Lee

I've not seen the Julia Clover Garden pattern before and must say I love the shape of the teacups.
How nice of you to even tint the sugar for us today for your St. Patrick's theme.

This is such a great twist on clover! I love it! It's still very relatable to St. Patrick's Day, but has a very feminine, soft twist with the clover heads. I remember picking clover as a little kid and thinking it was the prettiest flower in the world. I didn't understand why my Dad was so intent on killing it! :-) So pretty!

marty (A Stroll Thru Life) said...

Oh my, such a gorgeous tea and the cookies are too pretty to eat. Thanks tons for joinig TTT. Hugs, Marty

Veronica Roth said...

This is a beautiful tea set Shannon. My daughter Chloe was reading your post over my shoulder and fell in love with it because we tend to call her Clover and she has a small collection on clover cups. I think she's on Ebay right now trying to find your set...lol.

What a darling tea set! I love the pink addition to the shamrocks - oh!
I think I noticed a bit of Francis I silver, one of my favorite patterns - my 14 year-old granddaughter's pattern. The cookies do look wonderful and I would definitely love to sit down and drink tea with you - you have made everything so inviting!

Hi Shannon. What a pretty St. Patty's Day tea. Love the china. In fact, I was in Home Goods yesterday and saw a little saucer matching. I didn't get it because that was the only piece they had..Happy Weekend..Judy
