What I would have in my Cottage Tea Garden:

I have this image in my mind of a small cozy "tea garden" where I can go to relax, sip on tea, maybe read a book, and take in the beauty of the surroundings. Yes, I would love to have my very own cottage tea garden...I currently have a small garden and pond on the side of my house, but my real dream is to someday actually live in a small cottage (preferably near the ocean) and have a little place to go.
  
Example of the cutest little cottage:

We have had some very warm (but windy) days here in my part of the world. Hope you have a chance to get out and enjoy God's beauty in your area. Spring will be here soon! Very soon, I will be able to have tea out in my little garden by the house. Dreaming is fun, too!! Maybe someday my "Cottage Tea Garden" will be a reality!! :-)

Oh! I almost forgot. I promised you last week that I would show you a picture of my little whimsical birds that go with my birdcage, purchased at Goodwill. (The birds I got at a local consignment shop) Aren't they cute together?


Linking over at these blog hops:

Everything is Blooming!!

Well, if it wasn't evident in my last post, it’s definitely very evident this time around!! Spring has sprung!!! We’ve been keeping so ...
