Mornings on the porch are lovely when Mr. Sun creeps into the day and casts his light as if he is performing a dance. The graceful light and gentle shadows create the perfect ambiance for morning tea on the porch.
Let's move in a little closer and join the tea party.
For afternoon tea ~ a little table perfectly set in the corner of the kitchen.
Tea and Sunday shadows are magical all through the day.
