Happy Tea Time Thursday! I snapped this picture outside of a tea and coffee shoppe in Homer, Alaska. It was just so cute and I loved the idea. The extra hours of light in the summer in Alaska gives the flowers and produce extra light to grow. I was so surprised at all the beautiful flowers everywhere we went.
Enjoy the following pictures....they make me happy. Flowers are one of my favorite things about summer!
The state flower of Alaska is FORGET ME NOTS. I love them and of course you know that Tasha Tudor loved them too. I had to bring home some to plant.
I really wanted to find a vintage Forget Me Not cup and saucer on my trip, but I never found one. So, I'm sharing a little hand painted plate and demitasse teacup that I own.
I purchased this Rooibos tea at the shoppe in Homer that had all the cute flowers. Rooibos is also a favorite! This will get me through some cold fall afternoons and evenings. I'm sure it will bring back many fond memories.

Some truly amazing photos, the first one out side one of the shops was delightful. I am a great fan of the forget me not. A beautiful cup and saucer.

Beautiful tea cup and saucers, dear Linda :) Forget-Me-Nots are simply lovely and how neat that they are Alaska's state flower!
Enjoy your weekend, my friend. Love you!
What is that gorgeous purple flower in the 3rd photo? Oh, would I like to get my hands on some of those for my garden! Very pretty photos.
The flowers are bright and cheerful. The forget me not seeds are a great keepsake and will remind you of your visit. The demitasse cup/saucer are lovely and your tea looks so delicious. Tea makes me long for cooler afternoons!
Have a lovely weekend. Mildred
Alaska's flowers are gorgeous! I found it surprising, too. Thanks for educating me.
What a wonderful trip! We always wanted to go to Alaska, even have some friends who live there in the summer. The flowers are so beautiful, your pictures amazing! I am coming back soon to see more of your Alaska trip. Love your header on your blog!

I must show them to my daughter who is a freelance photographer at night and by day an Executive Legal Assistant.
