A Sewing Tea Party at The Cottage Gate
Welcome to my old fashioned Sewing Tea Party, where we have gathered on the back porch, with our "stitching". There is a cool breeze this morning, which hints of the coming of Autumn....
Come and nestle into the comfy pillows and let's visit over a cup of Rose Tea in my great grandmother's china tea cups. The Ginger Crinkle cookies are still warm and have a wonderful aroma of cloves and cinnamon to tempt your tastebuds. These favorite spiced cookies always remind me of Autumn and that gentle shift into another season.
I imagine ladies of long ago might have done just this, as they sat over a cup of tea and a delightful sweet, working on their latest embroidery, lace tatting for a hankerchief, or a tiny baby bootie.
The Victorian ladies loved the art of crazy quilting...cozy up to this sweet little cottage style crazy quilted Rose Garden Tea pillow, a perfect accent at a tea party! Lay down your sewing for a bit to admire the handiwork of a friend nearby...
Enjoy this little moment....good conversation, tea and treats, and breathe in the first taste of Fall...
Thank you for stopping by my tea party on this lovely morning! Enjoy your day of visiting and Happy Stitchin'!

Mmmmm! Those gingersnaps look like the recipe I make from my vintage Betty Crocker cookbook! Yummy. And your tea party arrangement is just lovely. I am enjoying looking at all the various tea parties, it's a visual feast. I have not joined in the fun, but it's still great fun to see the creations of everyone else.
