Sherry went all out creating the PERFECT PARTY for Katie and her guest….She made all the Party Hats…Banner and Favor Treat Bags

We provided the adorable POLKA DOT BALLOONS….!!!

Invitation To Nibble

Meet me on the Porch….:)

Pink Lemonade is waiting in the tea pot and sweetly reminds you of HOME.....This treasure is from my Susan Branch collection. Vintage glasses with jaded filled edges wait to be filled. They are proudly perched on my Martha Stewart Cake Stand from her wonderful collection of jade ware

A home made oatmeal cookie tied up in soft Pink Ribbon might be looked upon by friends as not to disturb it's beauty. No problem though, save it to be enjoyed later.....ALONE......:)
Among the clustered pots of luscious blooms.....the afternoon treats are tempting and begging for whispers of long overdue secrets......Among Friends.....:)
Lady Fingers fill the Rose topped jar and keeping company with French vanilla Crème Filled rolled Wafers....
Nibble slowly on these delicate tea delights.....Flip through Favorite Magazines and share your entertaining style. Plan an ice cream social.....Plant some flowers together.
And you are NEVER too old to lick the icing from the middle of the cookies.....then dunk the rest in your yummy CHOCOLATE shake.

I know Pearl.....YOU want one of those cookies really bad....And you've been So Sweet....Waiting with manners...I PROMISE I'll give you one..

OK......I KNOW I've made you WANT one too.....Grab your cookie jar and a Cold Delicious Drink.....Head on out on the porch.....Kick off your shoes and enjoy.......A few LAST DAYS OF SUMMER…!!!

Gracefully Speaking........ " Now in a Cottage built of lilacs and laughter, I know the meaning of the words " ever-after "......:) Sweet words wrap themselves around the upper edge and makes you feel comfy and cozy relaxing on a Lazy Summer Day.

Just be Happy spending time together....talking about old times.....
Pull out the seats and gather round. Listen to the sounds of a nearby fountain.....
Watch geese splash in the distant pond.....

And as the Teakettle says.......
Where ever the teakettle sings from Happiness .....
THAT IS HOME......!!!!

Thanks for Nibbling with me.....:)
I’ll be back soon..:)

Join Me

When I was invited to an End of Summer Garden Party, I knew it would be fit for a Queen.......so I gathered my sun visor, sun glasses and my favorite pink silk purse, oh and of course my camera. 

Celebrating an end to Warm Days on the porch….what a pleasant way to end the season.....:) Here is a little friend that sits quietly on my back porch. He keeps good company with another fellow who watches over things when I'm away....

Most of you know that I do NOT use Real flowers. No I have to admit that I am NOT a Real Gardner like so many of you.....But I LOVE beautiful flowers and fill my home and porches with them....Why worry with watering when they LOOK THIS REAL…:)
Instead of taking you into a garden at my home, I decided that when you visit me you can take a little break and enjoy a glass of tea and maybe a sweet summer treat out on MY PORCH…

I have it all set up for you and when you arrive, I will just need to fill up the pitchers and tea pots with refreshing tea and bring out the sweet treats. Just PICK your favorite and enjoy....!!

You'll feel right at HOME being served from these Charming Dessert Plates.....I LOVE the metal shoe planter with the colorful flowers poked inside.....

The linen tablecloth is another treasure from my April Cornell collection.
Just look at all the detail.....:)

The soothing sounds of water trickling from our water fountain sets the mood for a lovely Garden Party......

Ok…a few more Containers of Happy Pots and then it’s TIME for Treats…!!!

And the one that makes me SMILE the most, is the one my daughter gave me last year on Mother's Day.......FLOWER POT......how sweet....:) :)

I hope you’ve enjoyed your visit today. Please stop by and…..
If I don't answer the door, please come in and you'll find me waiting for YOU.....out on the PORCH.....:)

I must HURRY….There are tasty treats to bring out….So please join me next time for lovely chats on the porch and share a glass of Sweet Iced Tea. For SOON, Summer will be fading away as we invite Crispy Afternoons with Fall Delights and begin to enjoy MORE time…Out on the Porch…!!!
I’m off to grab the treats…!!!!
