TEATIME IN SCOTLAND 4.3.14

Taking Tea in Scotland today ... * Drawing pleasure from some Favourite Memories I thought you might enjoy vicariously [and virtually!]
We're visiting the Loch Ness Lodge dating from around 1740!
located in Drumnadrochit
* {on the west shore of Loch Ness at the foot of Glen Urquhart }

in the Highlands of Scotland 

* Entering the richly wood pannelled and tartan carpeted hotel .

*

A warm invitation ... *

* One of the various settings for evening drinks showcases the sense of warmth - in colour, books and lighting... [LuV that tartan tablecloth!] * Another area for lounging with fireplace,
basket of Scottish Thistle and aged leather sofa . . . *

* I was sooo pleased when our server led us to  this cosy spot for taking tea... A lovely bay window nook overlooking the rural landscape { providing for quiet conversation without other distraction }   *

*

Delicious tea served promptly to warm and relax,  [ thanks to a charming and attentive Highlander ]

Scottish shortbread soon thoughtfully appeared -
tea was complete! *

Books and TeaTime Anytime !

Excited to share today's TeaTime with you... Answered my door to find the postman barely holding on to a massive package. We had a good laugh when I suggested it would take me all week to open it! {Especially when I saw the sender's name}
Here's what I found !! ~

Author Joanna Campbell Slan's Giveaway Win !!
I was soooo excited to unwrap this !

Joanna had graciously added a copy of her newest historical fiction novel Death of a Dowager ~  Jane Eyre Chronicles book 2 {complete with bookmark and a 'books wanted' list!} to the lovely basket along with Highlanders Shortbread, Yorkshire tea, the cutest creativi-tea tag, aaaaannnnnd a gorgeous antique Limoges TEACUP !

Tiny rosebuds with ivy leaf encircle both cup and saucer  rimmed with gold

Saucer markings include Limoges JMC France with  M.F.&C. Chicago

To whet your appetite -  "In her classic tale, Charlotte Brontë introduced readers to the strong-willed and intelligent Jane Eyre.  Picking up where Brontë left off, the year is now 1820, and Jane’s life has finally settled into a comfortable pattern.  She and her beloved Edward Rochester have married and have a son. But Jane soon finds herself having to protect those she loves… "          - goodreads
A new book and teacup, Scottish shortbread and  wild strawberry tea? You know what I'll be up to today !
THANK YOU , Joanna !

TeaTime Tuesday 3/27 ...

Welcome to TeaTime 

for this last Tuesday of the month of March!

enough of this conflicted month

my car is outdoors having a rainbath
and downtown highrises are shrouded in mist
while I read, write and dream of Spring's promises...

I am sooo looking forward to what April will offer ~

in keeping with that anticipation

I'm posting a cheery vintage Springtime teacup

from Aynsley

a cup of pure 'pretty' ~

I do appreciate the finely traced outline detailing...

 a full table of this vintage set definitely says
'Spring' to this Teacup luver!
