Let your joy burst forth like the flowers in the spring. ~ unknown
I have tucked a little bird's nest into it, just because. The little twigs accompanied the nest when my son found it for me.
This bird's nest was once home to a red-eyed vireo.
I have been sick with the flu bug this past week. Actually, it really started two weeks ago with headaches. I generally don't have trouble with headaches and I have been mostly housebound but this too will soon pass.
Thank you for your visit today and I hope you are all keeping well. I wish you a weekend filled with joy!
Hello dear friends! I have some luscious shades of blue to share with you today. Isn't the hydrangea simply gorgeous? I love the petals, as delicate as butterfly wings in varying shades of blue.

Tea today is with lemon. I've been drinking gallons of lemon water and lemon ginger tea.
It is raining here today although it is mild. For me, it's a good day to stay put.
Flowers, books and tea, what could be better when one is down with a bug?

Blue Willow is always so wonderful and your hydrangeas such make it even better! Hope you have a sweet weekend!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the hydrangeas. They always make me smile!! The blue dishes compliment them so well. Love to see the Tea shop mystery book you are reading. I check all of those out of the library and read them one by one. So good. And lots of interesting tea party ideas. I am sorry to hear that you have had a flu bug. I pray it is flying away as we speak and that you will soon be feeling in the pink again. Happy Birthday to your son!! That pastry danish looks so delicious. Thank you for sharing this with us today. Blessings to you.
ReplyDeleteYour posts are so pretty and uplifting. Hope you are getting over the nasty bug.
ReplyDeleteI love the hydrangeas! They remind me of my daughter's wedding-this exact color too!

This post contains four of my favorite things. Hydrangeas, Blue Willow dishes, tea with lemon, and Laura Child's Indigo Tea Shop mystery series! All four together is perfection. I like the Churchill line of Blue Willow. The blue is just a little different -- to my eye, anyway. Best wishes for a full recovery from the flu.
ReplyDeleteSandi, so sorry you've been ill. Hope you'll be well soon. Love all the blue. Blue and white china is my favorite. And I love blue hydrangeas, don't care for the pink ones at all. Your Danish looks scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteSeeing your hydrangea makes me want to head to the store for one. It is beautiful especially with the bird nest tucked inside. Hoping you are feeling 100% better very soon.
ReplyDeleteLemon tea is also my go-to tea when I'm feeling under the weather. Love the blue and white transferwares featured in this week's tea time. I have the Blue Willow cups and saucers and would love to add the matching teapot.
ReplyDeleteSandi,
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your son!! Love your pretty blue and white transferware!! And the blue hydranageas!! I have a few faux hydrangeas which are the exact same color that you have shared here!!
