Some dappled sunlight is coming through the window on this late afternoon. It's just the right time for a cup of tea.



A piece of Irish linen sets the proper note.



A casual mug, decorated with east coast lupins, waits while the tea steeps.



The Japanese cast iron teapot works its magic with the Parisian-inspired blend.



Just to keep the tea company, there are two overstuffed raspberry tarts. I'll share.




Excuse me, for a minute, while I choose a mug for you!


I'm linking with Silken Purse, for Teapot and Tea Things Tuesday and Sweetology for Tea Party Tuesday. Once again, I'm just trying something new.

Thank you for visiting my initial "tea post". I hope you'll return soon.
