Oh, my! What's this out on our terrace? It looks as if Cleo and her black cat are having a spot of afternoon tea. They must have heard that Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch likes to celebrate on Thursdays and set a special table in her honor.
Cleo likes to sip a cup of her special witches brew tea in the late afternoons before her nightly activities. All you need is one glance at Cleo to see that she is a sweet, friendly witch. She came to live on the premises over 20 years ago. Cleo is known for her good deeds.
Mr. Barnaby, Cleo's "Cat Friday" is quite the gentleman, always attired in his silk vest and best bow tie. He is ever present by Cleo's side to help her with her every need.
A fresh steaming pot of
witches brew tea is Cleo's favorite.
Mr. Barnbaby
serves it up with style.
Cleo enjoys a bit of handwork during the "off season" and has spread today's tea table with one of her hand appliqued linens. This one depicts the haunted house that sits on the hill across the creek. Too spooky for Cleo and Barnaby though!
Yes, you can see it in his eyes
that he is "green with envy"!
Is that a scowl
on his face?
Cleo and Mr. Barnaby don't seem to be a bit bothered though as they relax and enjoy the witches brew tea among the flutter of falling leaves.
I wonder what good deeds
they have planned for tonight?
Whooooo do you think
is looking down on these two now?
You guessed it, and this little hoot owl invites you to fly on over to Susan's @ Between Naps on the Porch where an abundance of fabulous tablescapes awaits your viewing pleasure.
This really made me smile. I love it when that happens. Fabulous!

ReplyDeleteMs. Cleo is just the perfect little witch & I love her hand appliqued table linens. LOL Very nicely done! :)
Your teapot is TDF...it looks like the infuser type. Makes me want a cup of tea right now but it would keep me awake, I'm afraid. ~Tomorrow~

Sarah, I'm ready to adopt Mr. Barnaby. He doesn't need to be hanging out with a witchy woman. He needs a girlfriend like Annie! A nice little redhead. ;-)
ReplyDeleteXO,
Sheila

Love the black and white cups and saucers and really love the black cat, I think I need that...Mr. Barnaby I believe...

ReplyDeleteSarah, that is just too darn precious! You have such a great sense of humour. I think that is the cutest tablescape that I have seen so far.

Hi Sarah, this is just the cutest Halloweeness I've seen. The first I saw Cleo, I knew she was a good witch! She's darling and her little side kick is a cutie too! Now I'm really digging that pretty little appliqued table cloth. Have a safe and happy Halloween!

Shelia ;)

Hi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI'm determined not to use the word cute ... I want to, I do ... but everybody else already used it! ;)
So ... I'll just say I'm charmed by the delightful whimsy of this unusual tea table for two! I hope you joined Cleo and Mr. Barnaby for a lovely cup or two!
Happy Halloween!
