Early Spring Garden Tea
Hello everyone,
Welcome to my first garden tour of the season. Here on Prince Edward Island spring is always a little late in arriving but when it does I take full advantage of it and spend as many hours as I can out in the garden.So,lets have a cup of tea out in my favorite spot in early spring.
Martha's Garden (The tall statue is called Martha and she presides over this little garden all season). Now, I know there isn't a lot of color in here yet as it is still early spring for us here but the fragrance from the hyacinths is lovely and of course there are lots of birds singing.
I made some biscuits for us.They are always nice with a cup of tea.
I bought these pretty mugs at Winner's lately and they match the vintage tablecloth perfectly.
The virginia creeper is just starting to leaf out around the mirror and Martha.Once things start to pop it doesn't take long to leaf out.
We have hundreds of daffodils blooming now all over the garden.

I love that I can go out and pick garden bouquets from now until October.
The mugs and the vintage teapot are also a perfect match.
Some flowers blooming in the garden now.
This is Martha's Garden in June- my favorite time in the garden.The white shrubs that look like dead twigs now are Slender Deutiza-aren't they pretty?
Well, thank you for stopping by for my very first spring garden tea. I am sure we will be having lots of teas in the garden soon as the weather is warming up and the garden is coming alive!
Today, Bernideen is hosting a Saturday Garden Tea at Bernideen's Tea Time Blog so you can enjoy more garden teas there.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend and Happy Mother's Day too!

Two friends, one city...one fabulous company!
Yesterday, I came across the work and story of two best friends who started Tilton Fenwick...and I was instantly smitten.
First, working with your best friend for your own interior design company? Forget what I've ever said before...this is my DREAM JOB!
Second, Anne Maxwell Foster & Suysel dePedro Cunningham went to college in Boston (Tufts & BC)...so did I (BU)!!! They bonded over a shared love of Boston. I wonder if they are looking for a third wheel?
How charming that they named their company after their two freshman dorms? Tilton Fenwick...or could it be Tilton Fenwick Warren??? Ladies...I'm available!!!
Okay but back to reality...
Anne & Suysel were featured in a new online magazine from the editors of Traditional Home (but more on that next week). I instantly fell in love with their story and passion for design.
Check out some excerpts from their interview with Traditional Home & Scheky's:
From our first meeting, we spent the next year and a half emailing daily about all the details of Anne and Ryan’s upcoming nuptials. Emails titled “Love?” or “Must?” or “Need!” were exchanged over our ideas and inspirations for absolutely everything: color schemes, groomsmen gifts, dress designers, table runners, etc. etc.
After Anne’s (dare we say fabulous?) barn-chic wedding in 2009, the daily emailing and creative exchange was missed terribly. Over time and much further discussion about the drive for our combined artistic expression and sharing of amazing finds—high and low, Tilton Fenwick was born.
(Traditional Home) Tilton Fenwick is a home furnishings boutique and design stduio in the Flatiron District of Manhattan. For the duo, who share the same taste in everything "from furniture to nail polish" the partnership has been "a dream." "It's the perfect example of a creative collaboration without compromise," says Foster.

Congratulations ladies...Daisy Buchanan's would be proud :)

How did the two of you meet?
(Scheky's) After meeting through our mutual-friend-slash Anne’s boss, Ashley Whittaker, we bonded instantly over a love for Boston, unexpected color palettes, thrill of the hunt and our college sweethearts-turned-husbands.From our first meeting, we spent the next year and a half emailing daily about all the details of Anne and Ryan’s upcoming nuptials.
