The days come and go like muffled and veiled figuressent from a distant friendly place carrying gifts,
and if we do not use the gifts they bring,
they carry them silently away.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
My darlings I wish you sunny days filled with gifts
and the wisdom to enjoy them all wisely.

Dear Duchess, July Blessings to you!
We're off to a nice start that July is here. Tis hot weather until this week-end when the clouds are pouring a great deal of rain on us. A very welcomed sight.
May you have a wonderful July.
Lovely post. The flowers floating in the cup of tea looks refreshing. Think that we need to use our gifts to enjoy life.
Praying for your dear friend.
God bless,
d from homehaven
Dear Duchess -
Simply BEAUTIFUL!

your quote by mr. emerson is quite stirring, especially the bit when he says they carry them silently away.
wonder how many times i've been offered gifts that have been silently carried away because i didn't pay attention or was too consumed with trivial to notice.
so.....m'dear duchess......thank you for giving us a gentle poke to remind us of what's important!
hugs and blisses...........
Dear Duchess,
What a special cup of tea... Did you read my blog about the edible flowers? http://bit.ly/cmdbKL
Thought about it when I saw the camomile flowers in your tea...
Sunny greetings from Georgia/USA

I love how the bubbles in the tea look like a heart...
A lovely and thought provoking post!
Sending you love as always.
Victoria xx
I hope all of your days are rosy and sun filled.
Such Beautiful pictures!
I hope that things are going well for you and all of those you love.
My sister is doing really well so far. Thank you for your wonderful and encouraging words to both of us!
Have a wonderful week. You are in my prayers,

Sending sweet hellos and hugs to you and Lady R. It was so wonderful to see another post from you Duchess! Each one of them is candy for the eye as well as for soul! Ciao, bella!
Dear Duchess... Thank you for the reminder to spend each day as a precious gift.
Thank you for being a gift to others... for the time you spend creating these sweet morsels of truth and beauty ♥
Maria
What a lovely sentiment and gentle reminder, Duchess! And what a lovely tea. It is so nice to see you here again; I hope your friend is doing better.
What wonderful things you tell all the time! Very Dutchessessy! I would love to get some of that dessert! Yum..
What a beautiful blog you have! You take such stunning pictures! The colors are bright and crisp! I noticed you have them protected from anyone copying them. How did you do that? Many times others have gotten my pictures and used them. I am trying to find a way they cannot do that.
Have a wonderful day!
Maryjane
I love the quote- how true. I love all the pinkness on your pretty blog. I am addicted to the blog!! It also makes me hungry.
Come visit me at my blog and we can have a pink tea together Duchess! Happy Summer.

wishing you day filled with love Dear Duchess.
Love the Emerson quote. He is one of my favorites. And the tea looks lovely. Have a wonderful week, Duchess!
I've come hot and limp and tired and, honestly, cranky-like to see your lovely, lovely post. Actually, somehow, I missed the post about the chocolate. Heavens! THAT would have been too, too sad....
Well, now, you've refreshed and soothed me wonderfully - just like you usually do. I am going to leave my dinosaur state and live a higher life now and try to remember that a day that is desperately hot is still a lovely thing. Thanks for reminding me - and, not just with your words only but with your images, too. Oh, funny, tea IS so civilizing - even just the sight of it - I feel it!
Love, katy xo
Hope you have a wonderful week Duchess. Are they raspberry danishes? they look delish!
Rose
I love the pastry, it looks deliciously lovely!!! Thank you for stopping by my blog =) My mom got me into the whole blogging phenomenon, and I know she absolutely loves her blog friends.

Lovely post as usual and beautiful Photos. Thank you for your visit to my blog and your very nice comment. Have a blessed day. Madeline
The fourth is over, and was very hot and humid... We have hot and humid continuing A and makes me fearful for the come back of very bad storms and tornades of which have been very bad in surroundings areas this year... It has been a different summer here so far and not so enjoable it seems on certain days... I am off ot golf this morning shortly and know by the time I am done with woman's league I will be way too warm...
HELLO MY DEAR DUCHESS,
WELL, WE ARE IN THE MONTH OF JULY ALREADY.
VERY HOT AND HUMID IN MY PART OF AMERICA.
THIS WEEK IT WAS IN THE LOW HUNDREDS, IT HASN'T BEEN THAT HOT IN A LONG TIME. BUT...
EVEN THOUGH WITH ALL THIS HOT WEATHER, A HOT CUP OF TEA IS VERY RELAXING IN THE SHADE OF TREE. I ALSO MAKE HERBAL ICE TEAS, THEY ARE MOST REFRESHING. LOVE YOUR QUOTE, SUNSHINE IN YOUR HEART ALWAYS, AND "HI" TO DAD, HOPE HE IS WELL.
LADY RIZZI
Thank you so so much for the Birthday wishes you sent to my Sydney. She soooo appreciated your kind words.

Hi Darling Duchess;
Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit and leaving a lovely comment.
Today Queen Elizabeth II is in New York and I so wish I could be there! Her Majesty was in Ontario yesterday but again too far for me to venture at this time.
On hearing the news of her visit though, I thought of you! Take care....

I just did a tea party post and i thought of you...would love it for you to check it out sometime..:)
Dearest Duchess,
You have such a pure, deep, and beautiful heart. Your words of wisdom have touched me greatly as always and reminded me to cherish every moment. I want to also always remember to never take the small joys for granted...or to miss life's daily gifts. The images paired with such words are so lovely and the music is stunning. Thank you for being such a wonderful person, and thank you for your kind birthday wishes to me! You always make me smile. :)
xoxo

I’m back again Darling Duchess (albeit briefly!) - missed your posts & thanking you for your lovely comment on mine and wishing you a great weekend!
XOXO LOLA:)
PS Do like to visit your lovely blog as often as I can but really sorry I don’t always have time unfortunately to leave a comment!x
Thank you for the lovely tea and sweets!!! So pretty here.
Lovely post Duchess, it's half past four....is the tea ready?
Not quite time for tea here.
Apologies for my absence of late - I have been so busy with other things, I should have more time on my hands at the moment as I don't have to take Mn to college and back at the moment as he is on holiday until September, but somehow time just runs away with me.
Bonjour dear Duchess,
How are you? It is always good to see one of your posts, even though I'm a bit late here. Thank you for your sweet visit last week and the update on your dear friend. You are all still in my prayers.
The quote is so true - a reminder to enjoy each second with those dear ones around us!
All my best,
Mimi
P.S. If you ever need someone to talk to, ramble on, or just chatter with, I am here! Sometimes we all need a patient ear.

Good morning Duchess, I'm just checking in to make sure everything's okay with you and Lady R. Our gardens are full of fresh vegetables right now so we've been cooking up a storm here at Frog Hollow Farm. I'm not sure if zucchini grows in England but ours have grown to enormous sizes overnight this summer - almost too big to do anything with! The tomatoes are just beginning to ripen, the plants have such a wonderful aroma in the warm sun. Our Cinderella pumpkins are ripening nicely - I think there are about 7-8 out there on the vines. The second crop of raspberries are getting ready to ripen sometime in early September and the blackberries are just beginning to ripen - they seem to take the longest. Take care my dear! Ciao, bella!
Dear Lady,
I haven't forgotten about you (nor your friend). I have fretted and worried a little - just being honest. I hope that your absence is because it's how you've chosen to use your days wisely and that you're enjoying a beautiful summer. Blogging is so nebulous in some ways and so powerfully real in others. Beautiful images and elevated thoughts are so refreshing and hope giving. I think that, women especially, have a need to create beauty. I believe that it's in our bones. I've so appreciated your output and sharing. Also, the kind and loving words that flow are, I am SURE, actually physically healthy - as well as emotionally. However, I hope that you've been able to enjoy and cherish those who are near and dear to you in your life.
Appreciating you - the very real and warm and lovely you!
Love, katy xxo
Dear Duchess, Thinking about you and hoping you're alright.
I will be having surgery August 5th...thyroid cancer. In shock.
I'm concerned about you and your dear friend.
Hope to hear from you,

Hi. I was so happy to come across your blog again today. You see, I came across you while blog hopping a few months ago as a new blogger and didn't add myself to follow. I thought I would come across you and read more on another day; but, I had no idea how big blogland was. Now I am a follower and can read your blog whenever I want :).
Hope and pray things are going well with you and your friend and you can visit me whenever you have time.
I love lovely things too.
~ Julie
You have the most charming, pretty Blog. I felt like I was visiting a friend for afternoon Tea out in the garden. I love all of the quotes, so very inspiring to cherish all the simple pleasures in life. Have a beautiful day, Catherine x

Dearest Lady,
It has been a couple of months since you have posted but I just want you to know that I have not forgotten the beautiful and talented woman that has brushed past my life. You come to mind (honestly, how COULD I forget you so easily???) and I smile and I am moved to pray for you. I don't know when you will ever get this little note. I don't know what is happening or will happen. I just want you to know that I thought of you, today, and it was a pleasant, happy thought and, then, I thought that I should tell you so.
Love, Katy Noelle xxoo

Dear Duchess!
I hope I'm not visiting you too often. I have been here about four-five times- I think! It's such a lovely break to take tea in your company. I love your flowers and porcelaine, but I might have told you this before! And the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Thank you very much for tea.
I hope you are well. Have a nice day.

Darling Duchess,
I feel I need to congratulate you on your inspirational
impact that you have had on my life, since meeting you, my dear nothing has been insurmountable and the simple task of running large households has become a pleasurable experience, so much to share with like minded people that adore excellence.
The organizing of amazing weddings is done with such grace and delight it is a pleasure to be a small part of a fabulous production, my heart's desire has paid dividends with my beautiful daughter joining forces and sharing in all the fun.
Thank you my dear for being such a tremendous spiritual support and guiding light to excellence.
I will endeavor to meet your approval always.
Yours
Lady Susan

Dear Duchess,
You are missed in blogland. But believe me, I understand how other things can take your energy and mind away from sitting in front of the computer.
My dear sister died of cancer in May this year, and then my dear mother passed away three months later. It has been challenging, to say the least.
I could get down, but then I think, how can I let the opportunity to live life go unnoticed, while I have the blessing to do it?
I often think of you and your friend, and hope with all my heart she's keeping strong in spite of the struggle, and that so are you.
I send you my love, hugs, and wishes of health and peace.
Blessings, dearest Duchess.

I stopped back to visit today on the chance there might be a post on the day of the royal wedding announcement. Your blog is so beautiful and truly makes me smile. I hope you have had reason to smile lately, and that you find your way back to giving us all inspiration in the simple, lovely things in our lives.
I absolutely adore your blog!! Whenever I need a boost, I turn to your beautiful images and imagine myself in my 2nd home-England-having tea with you and others who love England's treasures.
Thank you for this amazing site. When are you starting a magazine or opening a boutique??!!
I think of you and I missing you,my wonderful friend,fabulous,great woman,Duchess:-)))*
