Kammy, I love your outdoor tea. The quilt is so beautiful, and I love the purple, green and yellow colors you've used this week. I've been seeing a lot of that beehive stuff around lately and I always thought it was so cute.

Tell Gunner that Lucy says hello!

Oh Kammy, I so love your picnic tea party. I would really enjoy that. I love to be outdoors. Your beehive teapot and your gorgeous plates are just stunning. Love it all. BTW I do think we will have another cloche party in Sept., so start thinking. I am totally out of ideas and totally in awe of all the beautiful things everyone was showing. Hugs, Marty

Very colorful. I love the yellows. I also love the flatware. It is such a beautiful color. I have the same flatware in clear. I used it in the White tablesetting post for the first time today.

Lorna ~ Lace and Ivy Cottage said...

Hi Kammy, The moment your pictures appeared on my screen, they put a smile on my face! What happy colors. I just love the yellow and purple, and that is one cute teapot!

Cass @ That Old House said...

Oh Kammy, this is SO beautiful... all of it (especially your adorable visitors!). But I REALLY love that amethyst-handled flatware. Wherever did you get them?

thanks for visiting ... and an empty cupboard because I hung the pots? Oh I wish! My stuff apparently makes whoopee in the cupboards overnight, and in the morning, has re-populated itself.

It's a miracle, I think.

Thanks for your comments on my blog. It may take me a little while to get to the sewing as I am about to do a little travelling (but I do like to have projects in the pipeline). I love your outdoor picnic! Tea outside is so civilized. Those amethyst handles are lovely and the bee hive teapot is charming! I love sharing my finds with others who have caught the thrifting bug.

Oh I will bring the lemonade and croquet set! Such beauty.

The donkey is so adorable!

Karen said...

Great job! What a nice setting. Makes you want to just plunk down and relas!
Love the donkey!

Gwen said...

I really like those cabbage plates and it all works so well together. It makes me smile:)

Gotta love the doggie helper. I have to cut out so many paws and tails when I am taking shots, so I can relate.

Kathryn @ Bonafide Southern said...

I love our tea party! That little bee hive tea pot is just the cutest. I also love that you've used a quilt as a tablecloth.

Bonnie said...

Hi Kammy! Thanks for stopping over at cottage hideaway, and for your kind comment. It's so nice to meet you!
Your site is beautiful, and I must read more about your furry friends! Also loved what you did with black paint but don't know if I have the courage yet...

Good grief, this is fabulous, Kammy! The colors, textures and designs are just perfect for the outdoor setting.
