Dear Duchess,
Thank you for intorducing me to this wonderful book! I will make a point of ordering it since tea parties are something that I enjoy tremendously!
Thank you so very much for your wonderful comments and complements.MIllion THANK YOU!!!Your wonderful words inspire me endlessly. I am sorry I was not able to get in touch with you yesterday (computer problem), but I will send you several pictures of my hats by the end of today. Wishing you the most wonderful Tuesday.:-)))
I need all the suggestions I can get for tea parties, looks cute too. xxx
Thanks for lovely comment too :)xx
Thanks for visiting my blog. Where do you live in England? My husband and I will be visiting in late October. I know it's not the most ideal time, but we found a trip that hits lots of the high spots and was a good value. Thought it would be a good introduction to England. We'll be staying in London and also traveling to Oxford, Stratford, Bath and Stonehenge as well as visiting Windsor Castle.
Even the drawings of the cakes look simply delightful...they'd definatly go well with a cream tea.

Happy Tea & Friendship Tuesday Duchess! I just love tea books. I love to get inspired by ideas and most of all to look through all the photos.
Thank you for your kind comments on my blog, for joining my followers and linking my blog to yours. I will be doing likewise.
Without checking my book shelf, I can't remember if I own this book or have given it as a gift. While my drink of choice in the morning is coffee, there is something wonderful about serving tea. I always use a pretty pot and a china teacup, even if alone. Slowing down for a few minutes to do this is a calming ritual.
This looks like a wonderful book! Thank you so much for visiting & following my blog. I love meeting new friends and how sweet of you to say those sweet things!
Enjoy your day,
Sharon
I have a couple of similar books, gifts from friends that know how I l♥ve my cuppa!
This one looks lovely!!
What a gorgeous book! That reminds me, I forgot about some beautiful teapot greeting cards I bought in San Francisco I haven't used in awhile. I will have to bring them out!
Lovely post!
Blessings to you today,

Hello Duchess,
I stopped over here last night and was unable to post a comment and then you visited me this morning...Thank you!
I have to say your blog is so Beautiful and I could linger here all day! Alas, for I am at work and must be on my way, but I will be back...often.
Have a lovely Tuesday!!

Hello Duchess,
Thank you so much for looking at my blog and leaving me a comment. It was so nice to hear from you :), I'm just back from London today and off to Aberdeen tomorrow - I'm very frustrated I can't give your BEAUTIFUL blog the attention it deserves! When I come back I will pour over it, can't wait!
Your 'Beauty and the Beast' - made me laugh OUT LOUD!
Speak soon.

what a wonderful post. I will certainly pick up the book! A tea party in the afternoon at your place must be an adventure. It looks like a tale from Alice in Wonderland!
Aww, looks very sweet!
This book looks amazingly lovely...i want to see more!!! I finally got up one of those lovely bluebird pictures you emailed me on my sidebar...so so sweet...thanks again...I need so much more time in my day...I want to do some blog housecleaning but never can find the time...so adding these little bluebirds will have to do for now! Thanks so so much! xoxox
I sell this book on my website, www.marmaladys.com. It is a lovely book.
Dear Duchess, I have noted your blog name and had intended to drop in. thanks for stopping by and inviting me in. I am frightfully tired now, my daughter had serious abdominal surgery today and will be in hospital 10 to 12 days and I am beat.
Blessings

I hope none of the Brits feel I am disrespectful by using the Gueen Mum's picture. My son put my face on it. I would not even know how to do it.

Sorry Duchess it's probably my fault, no worries i'll post the message again:
