afternoon tea with mrs. dalloway












  • weather: gray, but warm and balmy—perfect for tea and reading
  • book: mrs. dalloway by virginia woolf—gifted to me by my best friend, jessi
  • tea: harney & sons green tea with coconut, ginger and vanilla—honey and cream added

i can't think of a better way to spend my rainy-day free time {except perhaps taking pictures, blogging or reading blogs}. windows are open. birds are chirping. distant thunder is rolling. am i in heaven?

what are you doing this fine afternoon?

{as you can see, these photos were taken on a much sunnier day—last monday.}

A good book and some lovely tea sounds like the perfect way to spend the rainy afternoon. :) I'll have to try out that tea. It sounds yummy!

it was so gorgeous here - high 80's and wall-to-wall sunshine - of course I got out and about.

It's rainy here today as well. Raspberry trouffle ice cream followed by a nap was calling my name this afternoon but your tea looks/reads terrific. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and Ms. Woolf. She's always a keeper.

love these shots. that tea sounds delicious. i would love a cup about right now.
today was so incredibly beautiful and i was able to enjoy the entire day outdoors at an art festival with my brother.
rainy days can be so soothing. enjoy

Thank you for coming by and wishing me a happy b-day, you are truly sweet for saying so... I have to admit, I would DO anything to try that tea, being in Japan, I've only had the original, but I like fusion, tea and food... where can I find this? I bet they don't have it here = (

I added you to the blog roll, I think you are fabulous and I am really loving you blog.

can we be neighbors, please?
and have tea reads together?

that would be quite nice i think.

perhaps just as nice as these photos,
which i find to be quite exquisite.
