Tea & Toilets

Tea, below, at Le Jardin Blanc last week.  We toured 2 gardens & did a drive-by of another, all had been in national magazines.
 Lemon curd, Devonshire creme & scones were included, of course.
 Each place had a unique teapot.
At a project the same day, below.   Discoveries about a plaster wall were made when an old toilet was exchanged for new.  
 Bead board, all four walls, was the solution.  Plaster issues?  Poof, gone.  (Keeping, above,  the ca. 1940's wall sink with it's chrome ca. 1950's levers.)
Touring gardens in England I've appreciated signage with arrows.  Especially when Tea and Toilets are prominent.  Necessities, each.

Garden & Be Well,           XO Tara

Hello Tara!
OH MY...I LOVE Devonshire (Clotted Cream as my English Sister calls it) Cream and lemon curd and of course scones with raisins or currents. I haven't had any clotted cream since 99 when I went to visit my sister in England..thanks for the memories ;) Sounds like you had a good time touring gardens...what a fun way to spend the day. Love the bead board in this bathroom...we did the same thing and LOVE IT. LOL tea and toilets go together ;) Hope you're enjoying your preparations for next weekend....Merry Christmas Tara! I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday.
