Summer days and summer nights!
We are finally having warm summer evenings.
(click photos to enlarge)
So I dressed my garden swing up...
Piles of pillows...
a little table to hold refreshments...
A quite nook in the garden,
A perfect place for tea...
But it's too hot for tea tonight!
and....
since my trip to the Lavender Farm
I have been obsessed with Lavender.
So tonight I am serving Lavender Lemonade.
I have include the recipe I used
on my new Recipe page
The tab is right under my header..
The candles were lit...
I made the lemonade in the glass teapot
I use for Blooming Green Tea
Icy cold Lavender Lemonade...
served in jelly jars,
with the sweetest star pattern,
perfect for a night under the stars :-)
Each glass has a stem of Lavender,
and a sprig of Mint...
I stopped at the bakery for Cranberry Scones..
it is too hot to bake:-)
Served on a pretty vintage dish,
garnished with flowers :-)
See all the way on the right?
It's the first Lily of the year!
Filling the night with it's heady fragrance...
Today I am joining several Parties!
Won't you join in?
I am also adding this post to,
Saturday Nite Specials
Thanks for visiting me tonight!

Your swing looks so comfy, and the lemonade and treats look amazing.
Amazing lovely setting! Lavender sounds like the perfect compliment to lemonade. I will have to pick some tomorrow...
I love to visit you. the jelly jars are so lovely and I love the seating you have in the garden.
Is it that dry where you live? or do you take in the covers and cusions in every night? it's a beautiful place to sit and enjoy lemonade
Love Dawn xx

Oh, Bella! This is so beautiful - just cozy and soft and romantic and, actually, cool looking. It's funny that we're finally having some cool weather and you're so hot! Well, everything is just perfect. I'm off, now, to look for a "porch swing" online! =]
Love, Katy Noelle
Such a PRETTY post! Love the jars! Sweet and cozy and delicious looking--I really can't get over that it's just NOW getting hot for you. We're already into the mellow season. But then it gets scorching again in August! Best to you, JQ

Hello Bella
The lemonade sounds refreshing and we both know how lavender can make it that much better. :-)
A cozy spot in the garden for your tea today and I like the effect from the candles to make it that much more intimate - perfect for friends to sit and chat.

Sorry, I'm a bit later than usual visiting today. I had surprise company all day.
What a lovely tea, Bella! Lavender lemonade sounds really lovely; never had it before. It sure looks good and very pretty served in the jelly jars with sprigs of posies. Your presentation is wonderful! Thank you for sharing and I wish you a beautiful week.
